How Do I Deal With A Biased Lecturer? by Resivim: 10:27am On Oct 22, 2019
Good day fellow "nairalanders".

There exist this very young (say) lecturer in my department who is always in charge of most of exam scripts of students. In fact most lecturers hand over students' scripts to him for marking believing he's trustworthy.
But the main thing is, he's now aware of almost all the best and class toppers in class including those who wish to play their games so low...and he usually mark those who seems not to be familiar with him down while gracing the ones he's familiar with even though they don't usually give (1/4) of what those marked down usually give.

This has been occuring for several times now, many silent aims of the best students seem to have been dashed....he will just reduce their efforts to like *B* or a more lesser grade when they Indeed deserve *A* and even get the highest scores..

THE QUESTION NOW IS, HOW DO YOU THINK WE CAN DEAL WITH THIS SELFISH MAN, OR PREVENT HIM FROM INFLICTING SUBESQUENT HARMS TO OUR MOST DESIRED GOALS.

Most of us hate this man's attitude! , let alone of moving closer to him.

I will be so grateful if this really gets to front page, it's one of the challenges those called "BEST STUDENTS" face.

Smiles...There's nothing you can actually do unless the lecturers loses that trust.

This also happened in my ND1.... There's a lecturer who gives one graced corper our test script to mark....And after he collected the script.

He said-I will only use 4 people's script to mark the rest...And between when the test scripts were shared they all had 20 while even the ones that also wrote exact same thing had a way below mark.

But eventually when the Exam results came out with the total....Some students still had a better score than these four people.

It is just the way it is...That's the life we live in!

If you are so sure of what you wrote, write and apply for remarking.

Problem solved.

ask for your script to be remarked if you strongly believe that you deserve a better grade

Lectures can trip, fall and break a neck while strolling on a hot afternoon....
Lectures can have a nice cup of coffee, choke & ....
Lectures can even go for a lil swim and drown...
Lectures can go blind from toxic winds..

The possibilities are endless...

Well, you could get a button / pen camera, set him up too. Make him talk about the things he does without him suspecting.

Send the video to a journalist or upload to internet anonymously cool

Now we're in the tech age!! Let the world know!!

The only way to deal with issues like this is to double your efforts.

You have to read so much that you are almost sure of scoring 95 out of 100.

You may think it is impossible but it actually is. A lecturer once told me point blank I will fail a course he was handling.

I knew him to be vindictive and didn’t take the threat lightly. From that day till the exam date, there was no single day I didn’t read the particular course for at least one hour a day. It got to a stage I knew most of the topics by heart.

I took the exam like every other student and scored a little above 70(which of course is the resultant score after he had marked me down as much as he wanted)

One thing is this; no matter how a lecturer hates you , he won’t fail you if you pass on merit. It’s just not possible. They have people who check the scripts to see if the total marks recorded tallied with the marks accumulated from each question answered.

So my friend put in more efforts and put the man to shame. Stopping people like that through official means is almost impossible
