My younger brother studying biochemistry at the University of Benin have had about 5 carry overs. Now he is in his third year, and he is seriously depressed. I have seriously reprimanded him and also consoled him but I don't want him to spill and based on the fact that when am in school I never had issues like this, I decided to bring this online.

Is it possible for him to drop some of the mandatory courses in his department(note not core courses o,but mandatory courses) to accommodate for the carry over courses he had.

Please I need legit answers from those who are experienced in issues like this.

Mod u can place or more this to the rightful thread, Some might still be passing through this situation too in silent.

Must he go to University. Why not access his strengths and go to any of the tertiary colleges based on what he wants to do. Be it even trades - mechanic , nurse aid , carpentry.
How many grads out there are working ?
The main d main is that he is able to acquire knowledge and put food on the table.

I have same issue when I was in the university (graduated through) I meet some of the leacture it was one of the senior leacture that help me with beginning and the rest if not I for nor graduate may God bless him for me Dr.Jonthan.T God bless you sir more grace on you and your family

Barims:



Please bro. Let's assume that someone had some carry-overs in their first semester exam at the 100-level, and fortunately, that person passed those courses in their 100-level second semester exam. Will that person still have to retake those courses again in the first semester at the 200 level? Please enlighten me on this.

A first semester carryover can only be retaken in the first semester of another year, same applies to a second semester carryover... Meaning you can't take a first semester carryover in second semester and vice versa



To the topic, if those courses are prerequisites, forget it, spillover STRAIGHT... Infact, some departments don't allow you take two prerequisites in the same year, so the number of prerequisites carryovers you have equals the number of extra year

Unless your brother settled whatever issue is causing him to have the carryovers, expect more in his third year and even final year

Yes he can drop some courses and fill in the CO, I went to uniben and that's even the practice, you have to register for your carry overs first before your level courses.
He shouldn't feel depressed, Biochemistry is one of the worst departments in Life Science, he should just push through even if he spends an extra year, it's not a big deal, when I was in school people that were reading a 6 years course were spending extra 3 years in school.
He should read as if his life depends on it and leave the rest to God but no matter the outcome he will be fine.

It's Uniben if na for Delsu omo na God Sha
we pray he scale through in Jesus name amen

Bro there are lecturers meant for this, he needs to talk to those lecturers.

It is that lecturer that will tell him what he needs to do.

Secondly you need to check your brother why would someone have 5 carryovers?
Is it money, gambling, girls, flexing or cultism.

You need to focus on the main issue rather than beating round the bush...

You need to ask him what the problem is.

For my 200level first semester na 7F, i failed 7 courses but I graduated with my set and my name came out first list, I pray the young guy doesn’t relent, carry over no be death sentence ooo

You're using your younger brother to cover up instead of admitting that you're actually the one.. that innocent boy wey he never get carry over before, you want to start implicating him with your fake lifestyle. E fit be say na your type dey oppress us for school with their big boys lifestyle trying to slip with everything under the skirt.. even the ones were we dey manage sef una go use force collect ham just becuz u have cash to spent.
First! My advice for you is that....
Pay attention to what is distracting you and then fight your way out, if you are able to do dis , You will get to thank me later...

Samantha124:
It's possible he doesn't like or understand biochemistry.

And don't try comparing him with you because he's not you, even twins that were born together have different interests in life.

Very well said.

Some folks here are the reason many don't ask for help here.
Just imagine people's response to somebody seeking for help for his brother

Mention those folks; Oakes,"Voakes", Ovoke,etc; don't provokes or don't get provoked... Don't be easily voked&provoked... Did you want to smokes or drink cokes...? Smokes&drink cokes...? You want a coke or you want to smoke(cigarette...like Gareth, Margaret, Macbeth, Elizabeth,etc; that use to play bet, wear beret, play bet&wears beret or use their belt&beret to play bet...?

May we not be yoked,be...

He should drop out. There are better things he can do and excel at in life apart from school.

First of all the carryovers he has was It for first or second semester, plus what is the maximum course load of each semester, this will determine if he can squeeze them In this is the only way he could escape it, if the course load he can register for each semester is already at full capacity then, he would spill.

With the reintroduction of E grade back to UNIBEN, your bro no suppose get reach 5 CO for BCH.
Normally, your bro don spill over except the CO are 2 units courses.

Spill over is not the end of the world sha

You might sincerely and honestly be part of his challenge actually. I'll explain.
I've come to discover that there's a certain kind and level of empathy that those who haven't experienced a situation or something similar, can never have and will never have.
Scolding someone with 5 carryovers isn't really a wise thing, cos even one who's not serious with his life and academics would be bothered by such.
Biochemistry isn't for the faint of heart with all their partways, Enzymes and substrates. I'm sure he already knows what to do to avoid an extra year, but even if it comes to that don't make it worse for him than it already is.

Omo bro tell your brother make him package the lecturers well financially, na who get money they graduate o bro. Forget all this rubbish some people they comment for here. When your brother ready graduate, him go do the needful. And NO, as long as the course is mandatory, him need pass all, except say him no wn graduate.

He had to register the carry over courses first before adding other courses depending on the maximum credit load of that semester/session. For someone to have five carry overs shows he is either not serious with studies or he has Psychological issues that are hampering his performance.

Having 5 carry overs na normal thin for my almamater. Some get that much in their first year alone. I don't know what the big deal is in having 5 carry overs that anyone will feel depressed about it. In my set, out of over 50 of us that started from 100 level, I am the only one that graduated without a carry over, many of the are doing better than me today.

You are mad,sense u nor get u think everybody is hopeless and useless like you are.i am not your mate.dont ever u quote me again.

This shows that you’re the one that have carryovers. You’re just fronting your younger brother.

MasterTeeUSA:
I just had this discussion today...school is not for everyone..Instead of wasting money...he should invest in farming or other business and do certifications to become a master of his craft. Parents need to get over this desperate needs for a degree...even in the US, a billionaire is paying people not to go to college because he considers it a waste.

Now I don't think it's a waste but we often enter for a course we don't like and don't want because of cutoff then we keep on...then finish terribly and then realize we can't get a job with 2.2 or 3rd class and then regret the whole thing...why not cut your loss early and move on?

I left dentistry ...felt ashamed and later got full scholarship to study what I really enjoy Engineering and graduated with honors. I wanted to be a dentist for the money really..I enjoy the handiwork but the studying I hated and the professor...I withdrew after 2yrs...everyone was shocked. 10+ yrs later...no regret

so 2;2 is now a terrible result? Anyway it depends how on your course of study .

Wow! Seems I'm level on with your bro only that I don't have carryovers, I'm also in my year 3 now at Benue State University studying biochemistry. All I can say is it's not easy, those lecturers will frustrate you, you will be having different lectures from different departments including chemistry, biology and biochemistry department it self. Personally I could have been having issues too for the fact that I mostly combine school and hustle to meet ends. However I do put in fire energy to studies most especially during assessments and exams to cope up. Meanwhile from what I previously observed, this 300L is usually the most hardest stage in the department as you would be exposed to almost all the key courses in the department, I'm preparing to quit my hustle now and face whatever will befall me. I advise your brother to brace himself up for what is coming ahead. Let him tell you his stance about what he's thinking about concerning the course. It has come to a level now that it's not all about getting a degree but to graduate with good grades. I previously thought about first class but for wetin my eyes don see
I pray I conserve my 2:1 till I graduate so help me God.

optionalY09:
There are courses that need more of practical than just reading to pass useless written examinations.

Does your brother have a computer with 24hrs internet. That would be a good resource for him. If he’s not following let him drop out and go to practical nursing school

There are thousands of online institutions capable of transferring useful knowledge to his brain than University of Benin

As a matter of fact why is he studying bio chemistry, what can he do with that in Nigeria

Please, name some of the institutions. I want to check something.

Ur excuse for not wanting him to spill is a bit funny. oga I spilled and here I am today. God is great. My advice is to let him spill if he has to or U pay ur way to make him grad

Make he drop out go learn yahoo..school no be im way

Oga spill or splash does not define you ooo

My mates who spilled in uni are making sense today more than those who didn't. Some of them are outside the country doing well.

If still in 3ooL with just 5 co, there's still probability you won't spill provided you don't have more, they'll be room to add more units in 4 and 500 level

Problems like this are meant to be discussed with his lecturers. But you see Nigerian students, they are the worst set of students on Earth. They always frustrate the hard works of Nigerian lecturers and even in some cases, try to rub shoulders with them. Your brother probably has an academic advisor whom he can always meet for academic advice; easy peasy. Tell him to have a one on one with his HOD or Dean of his faculty. I was in his shoes 10 years but I wasn't shy to approach my lecturers.
