4 point grade system means .. E is fail, D= 1, C= 2, B= 3 A = 4 ... That means the students will have to read more harder this time.. Cos pass starts from 45 marks. grin
NSUK use 5 point scale with the same gradings E is fail D=2 C=3 B=4 A=5 and pass starts from 45

They are all educated illiterate, isn't not the same thing. 70mark is 4point or 5point what's their problem. What of if they move 4point or 5point to 75 like Yabatech standard. Lazy youth everywhere.

NBTE standard all poly use 75 as 4point

It like setting a unique standard but the lazy drones don't like it.
it's not about that. Most people recognize the 5 point grading which is easier compared to 4 point. But during scholarship application the same students will still be at a disadvantage.

I once saw a student with 3.81, first class under the 4 point enclosing 4 point grade system within his application so he wouldn't be misunderstood.

The problem is not with the grading system. It lies in what people are familiar with.

And not to talk about been harder to pass. In 5 point if you have 40, you get your D but in 4 point if you get the same 40 you get a carry over. You need 45 to get a pass

So tell me why shouldn't they protest when they have to work harder and still be at a disadvantage?

They are not educated illiterate. Better cool your mind and understand the implication of 4. point scale.

3.5 is upper in 5. scale.

But 2.5 is lower in 4. scale.

very dry

Of all your 'great ife' brain you can't even comprehend the implications of a 4 point grading system and typing trash up and down.

A 5 point is like an inflation compared to the 4 point. In fact, those students work '5 marks' for each course harder than you do to get the same results.

So what's so great about ife?

Is that NUC standard for all Nigeria universities? 4point grading system is totally alien to university system only Polytechnic runs on 4points. One of the repercussions of 4point system may require that you have to do PGD even with your first class before you are able to go for a Master degree program in another University, the degree may suffer like HND/ degree discrepancy. The management should reverse their shallow minded decision ASAP as this is unnecessary and a time wastage on the students academic programs.
u don start. How exactly will a 4 point system require u to do PGD. In ur transcript, the grading system will be explained

big lie. In CV and cover letter, u write ur grade; first class, 2nd class upper etc.
To further ur education, ur university sends ur transcript to the school u applied for. And they will see the grading system used

Imagine! Later all these olodos will be claiming one super B.Sc. During my days in the Polytechnic, we used 4.00 grading system and before you can earn the 4points, you must score 80. Anything below 2.50 is pass. Which is as good as nothing. You cannot be awarded a certificate if you don't make 2.0

A product of 'great ife' can't even argue constructively.

You guys keep hyping yourself from thread to thread with nothing to show for it. It's frustrating for us the readers.

using that grade point is bs, 5.0 is what's mostly used internationally

don't know why this writers makes things unnecessarily difficult, just say 'connected'


Exactly!

Rather than writing "connected", the writer chose to confuse readers with " not unconnected".

chigbo25:

Ok let me tell you where the issue is. It's not the matter of grading but rather the issue of class of degree.



4.50 to 5.00 is first class in five scale while 3.50 to 4.00 is first class in four scale (no issue in first class)

3.50 to 4.49 is second upper in five scale while 3.00 to 3.49 is upper in four scale. (Rather than it to be 2.50 to 3.49)

Similarly, 2.50 to 3.49 is second lower in five points while it's 2.00 to 2.99 in four points scale.



Example you have we have same grade, yours in five points and mine in 4.


Let's assume you have 3.99 (which is upper) and I have corresponding 2.99 in 4. Scale (it's lower in my case.)

A difference of 0.5

I graduated from Kwara State University and a 4 point grade system is used there. If what is seen on the above cardboard is true, [s]then, the students are at an advantage. The picture shows the direct conversion from 5 point scale to a 4 point scale.

If the cardboard inscription is what the school management wants to change the CGPA grading system to, it is more beneficial to the students. It's just simple mathematics.
[/s]
PS: The grading system in the picture is what KWASU used and still uses.


On a closer scrutiny, students are more advantaged to attain the first class grade but less advantaged to attain the second class upper degree. All the equality meant for the second class upper has been leached down to the second class lower category. there is also a disadvantage on the third class category.
