You won't know how insensitive our school administrators can be until you are at their mercy. Look for a senior lecturer in the dept asap and get his or her experienced advice.

opedaydydx9:
For you to miss the exam, shows the kind of person your are to your colleagues, nothing can be done in this case unless you have a strong backing, moreso students with missing script have not been granted audience talkless of you that missed the whole exam, you could have tried writing something thou

ontarioissauga:
Do you do the exams in English?

may320:

Lol. So there's something called 'village clearance'?

greatman55:
Nairalanders pls help me,i am confuse and depressed.

We are currently writing 2nd semester exams in school as i type.
My problem is that I missed an important course due to my coming late when they are just 5mins to round up.

Actually the exam was initially slated at 3pm but was later changed to 1pm which i wasn't aware.
I have begged the lecturer for the course,if their is any way she could help and she said no that i should sit again for the course.

I am contemplating writing to the HOD or better still the Dean.

Pls is there still hope for me or i should leave it to God.
I am currently depressed.
Pls snub any typographical error in this write-up,i am depressed.
Education is what i live for.
I can't afford to fail any course again.

JONNYSPUTE:
The truth is always bitter. You are not a serous student if not all your thoughts would have being about the exam since it was a rescheduled one.Go carry it over and be careful next time.You can get angry about my comment I don't give a damn.

IFEOLUWAKRIZ:

Somebody is depressed and you are here looking for bloopers. Shame.

JONNYSPUTE:
.. You are very sensible.

ontarioissauga:

Go fix it with the lecturer.

IFEOLUWAKRIZ:


I'm not the op but you should have known that op is undergoing emotional and psychological trauma. His English should be least of your concern.

Focusmind:
Nigerian university lecturers and meanness. This is a small matter. When I was in UK, lecturers showed great compassion and understanding.

This thing happened to one guy in my school then in UK. The dude went to do his per hour hustings job without knowing that the time for the paper had changed.

He came and truthfully told the lecturer where he went to and to my surprise, the lecturer simply told our course rep to announce if there were others that missed the paper.

If they are still interested in writing the paper, they should come to PG hall next day to write it.

He didn't see it as a big deal. This lecturer was a seasoned professor with numerous publications.

Here in Nigeria, you will see one daft and God - forsaken lecturer playing God.

EsotericMonk:

It sucks, doesn't it? Sorry about all you have had to go through, my advice would be from the Nigerian perspective cos in the West, there is nothing like begging.

Appeal to your lecturer some more, through the chain of hierarchy. Beginning with your course rep, fellow lecturers and then the HoD, they should be able to organise a make up test for you.

Forward looking, try to be more sociable with your colleagues cos the change of date would have either been spread by whatsapp group or word of mouth and you would have been availed the info if you had close friends in the course.

I wish you the best.

1. What level of study are you in?
2. Are you off campus?
3. When was the initial timetable released and when was the change in timetable announced?
4. What were the means of communicating the change to the students?
5. Don't you have friends seating same exam?
6. Did they inform you or not?

If you can answer these questions correctly and answer makes sense, then you have a case else

slapacha:
Go and write it next year.

chris51:
As a serious student, you should have course mates to communicate school matters with.

If other students are affected, all of you can put up a united front and plead with the lecturer.

From my experience it is doubtful if any exam will be conducted for a few people who missed an exam.

When I was a student, I used to get to school hours before exam, sometimes venues change, time change.

Most important as a student is, to always communicate with your class rep and other students taking same course with you

PatrickOkunima:
I had a similar experience when I was in 300 Level. Had to write it in my finals.

Op my advice to you:

If you're not the only one affected, work with others and present your case as a team. That way, You stand a better chance of being listened to.

But if you're the only one, just wait till the next session.

Pentagon1993:

I have entered such dilemma.
Is not the end of the world but one more effort, write to the HOD, the exam was shifted so you have a case. He could tell the lecturer to give you a make up exam, don't be surprised others might be involve.
This is a sensitive issue and people are joking, Nigeria is full of insensitive humans, no wonder suicide rate is going high and high.
