So many things could affect an otherwise brilliant student; 1.poverty/lack/hunger as a result of the parent's inability to meet the student's basic needs 2. Lifestyle;excessive social activities 3.Fornication 4.Cultism 5. Too much money.
I think the worst of all is #1 above,Poverty.
Add your own...

In abroad, the lecturers would be in serious trouble by now. It is an indication of failure on their part. Their inability to educate properly or teach their students.

Nigeria education is fundamentally deficient largely due to parochial and archaic lectures and lecture system.

In developed universities, a lecturer once he or she notices a dip in your thesis or assignments, he arranges a meeting with you to discuss what the issues may be with you. He can go as far as referring you to Guidance and Counseling unit. They go the length to have you understand. A school's performance should never be judged on mass failure.

Please, Does OAU offers mechatronics engineering?

StarUp:
What's wrong with that result? It was meant to only separate those that truly prepared for the exams from those who didn't... Not really a test of brilliance.

GeoAfrikana:


I think this is true. Many people study courses that they have no natural love or passion for. The only motivation for many is the socio-economic benefit not because they have a natural affinity or inclination for the course.

I can tell you that every OAU student is brilliant because no matter what you must score 200 in jamb and post-jamb before you can get admission. Anything less than 200 is automatically no admission - even if your father is Buhari and your godfather is Trump!

But the problem is many students are using their brilliance in the wrong direction. Each course has its peculiar needs. Someone who's brain was created for education will want to kill himself because of medicine or pharmacy.

I suggest that they review our educational Systems.

Also that they give proper guidance and exposure to secondary school students about other courses; how they improve the society and examples of successful people in those fields.

Me as an example, my father saw me as a wasted effort when I insisted on studying geography. According to his calculation, the only opportunity for a geography graduate is teaching. Well maybe that's true if I relied on my certificate alone. But no, I retrained and re-educated myself and today doctor na king for him lane and I'm a king in my lane.

But to be candid, if other departments wanted to train us to the real standard -haa!- 70% (in fact 90%) of us will not graduate. Unfortunately, health sciences don't have the luxury of push-and-go since they deal directly with human life.

That department has no hope again...The lecturers there are the best Saddist..the department structure sef make it obvious....

yusman14:
Is resit better than repeat??

Ebenezar2020:
the Lord is your strength brother

flexyrule:
People still fail all these cram and pass courses?


Proudly a MECHANICAL ENGINEER.

Microwhy:

What happen to your brochure?
Don't be what Buhari called the youths..

incogni2o:


Resit is you given the time to go and read so as to retake the exam.

Repeat is when are not given the chance to retake the examination but rather to retake the class year.

Resit happens whe you fail 1 or 2 courses .

Repeat happens when you fail 2 or more courses.

Talking like an illiterate, please someone should get that cheap phone from he's using to type this trash from him..

Funpeter:
how can someone get GIS training

StrikeBack:
Foolish Students with his useless and unnecessary comparisons

deri4luv1:



Repeat the whole class, everything you have done before

yusman14:
why the insult
Let's respect ourselves ooo

sikells:

Maybe you don't know that engineering is quite easier ...

Jabarzee:


Is there any school where pharmacy is easy

yusman14:
After reading the comments on this thread,I noticed that some people are saying that pharmacy guys are not serious other they don't read....it is not true ooo
This guys are very hard-working and diligent...yeah I have many friends in that faculty and they are genius I must tell you..
I am a 300l engineering student of OAU..having spent 3years on campus, pharmacy students read most..infact they are more serious than medical students...
I don't think Senate call look into this result because the school makes them to operate dependently.....
The lecturers are to be blamed.. faculty of pharmacy is the most equipped and standard faculty in OAU.The students have what it takes to get a pass ..
They have very good lecture theaters, environment,and many other things..

Jman06:
But these students aced their WAEC, JAMB and university entrance exams before they were admitted. How come they failed in this manner Are we sure lecturers are not culpable

Sometimes lecturers decide to fail students for no fault of theirs especially in pharmacy schools! I experienced that when I was in pharmacy school! They do that because they know that students don't usually have the guts to challenge such poor results.
Thank God for seeing me through!
