Can someone please answer this? I saw in the list of study centres,
1.... study centre

And i ask again, what is the difference?
Thank you

No much difference between the two, the only difference there is that, Special study centres are related to Paramilitary and the military...e.g NOUN SPECIAL STUDY
CENTRE, NIGERIAN AIR FORCE, NOUN SPECIAL STUDY CENTRE NIGERIAN NAVY, NOUN SPECIAL STUDY, NIGERIAN IMMIGRATIONS SERVICES, etc...

SPECIAL APPEAL TO ALL NOUN LAW GRADUATES AND STUDENTS

We have achieved a very important milestone by the President's assent to the NOUN (Amendment Act) 2018. It has been a collective struggle and we can all see the Light at the end of the tunnel.

While congratulating all NOUN Law graduates and students on the progress made so far, it has become very expedient to appeal to everyone to exercise restraint and utmost caution in our publications, utterances and comments on the issue of Law School Admission. Some recent publications have not been helpful at all. They make resolution of the matter even more challenging. Pls we should be more careful with our publications and comments irrespective of the media we are using as the struggle has come a long way and we cannot afford to falter or fail at this stage. Let's cool things down and exercise some patience and allow the School Authority and CLE to sort out the matter. Good progress is already being made and unguarded utterances and comments are not helping the process.
The VC of NOUN has severally advised against making pronouncements and write-ups that are inimical and harmful to the struggle.
I therefore wish to sincerely appeal to the entire membership of NOULGA and all NOUN Law Graduates and Students to maintain an atmosphere that encourages communication between NOUN and CLE in order to expeditiously resolve the matter for the interest and benefit of all.

We are almost there and this is the time for co-operation with the school authority to achieve our common goal. Remember that there is a subsisting judgement that held that this matter is better resolved between Institutions. Pls let's allow some space for NOUN, HAGF and CLE to resolve this matter.
Special respect and regard to all primary stakeholders of this matter such as NOULGA, LAWSAN, Law Alumni, CONS and NANS. You have all done very well and should rightly be really proud of your actions and efforts. Perhaps without your collective efforts, we may not be where we are today.

However, let's build on our foundation by being patient at this stage and showing more understanding towards the resolution of the issue. I can assure everyone that this issue is receiving necessary attention at the highest level. It's not everything that we can publish here.
The NOUN Authority is working round the clock to ensure we hear some very Cheering News soonest. We need to give them our support and encouragement. Hostile, disrespectful and insulting phone calls to school authorities are unnecessary and unhelpful. I know and appreciate that some of us are hurting but that does not mean we should throw behavioural ethics to the wind. We should at all times conduct ourselves with utmost decorum and honour even in the face of unfairness and discrimination.

Law is a Noble Profession and we should always conduct ourselves as Honourable and Noble Gentlemen.
Let's heed to the VC's advise and refrain from making further unhelpful publications and comments on the issue of Law School Admission.
The Leadership of NOULGA has personally reached out to the Leadership of Other National Bodies of Law Students and Law Graduates and it is our hope that we all co-operate together with the School Authority by creating an enabling environment devoid of reckless publications and comments in order to achieve our desired goal soonest.
The ULTIMATE COMMON GOAL is Law School Admission for NOUN law Graduates in 2019.
At this juncture, I wish to say a Special Thank You and Happy New Year to all NOUN Law Graduates and Students especially those who have been in the fore front of the struggle.

Long Live NOULGA!
Long Live NOUN!!
Long Live NIGERIA!!!

More Grace and God Bless.

The 2nd All Faculty of Social Sciences Public Lecture titled “African University, PAN African Scholarship and African Liberation: Focus on Linkages Between Reparative Justice and the Educational System” took place earlier yesterday at the university headquarters.

The lecture which was delivered by Prof. Horace G. Campbell, University of Syracuse, USA focused on looking at the important questions of liberation and linking the questions of reparation and reparation justice.

He gave two major examples of the context of reparation by using the recent speech which president Emmanuel Macron of France made, that all artifacts which were “stolen” from Africa should be returned back to Africa; and the University of Glasgow, Scotland, who stated recently that £200millions will be given to the West Indies for taking part in the slavery that took place there.

He also said that students are calling for free higher education in Africa and PAN African scholarships should be a priority in every African University.

The guest lecturer emphasized on the importance of every African to be well informed about The battle of Cuito Cuavanale, which was a military battle that happened between November 1987- January 1988 that changed Africa. He stated that a lot of people are working hard for every child in African to know about the battle. The battle according to him has been intentionally kept away from the knowledge of Africans.

He stated that NOUN must be the centre of ICT when it comes to education because it delivers lectures through ICT.

“You must get patriotic entrepreneurs and they most be advanced technologically. NOUN should be built on African knowledge system which is the understanding of African fractals (geometric of nature)”

He concluded by calling on Nigeria to be at the fore front of Africans reparation and organize universities for the 21st century by including African reparation in our curriculums.

Present at the lecture was the Director, Bureau of Public Procurement; Senior special assistant to the president on disability matters, National Chairman people living with disability in Nigeria amongst others

Principal officers, deans, directors, staff and students of NOUN were also present.

NYSC Mobilization for NOUN students to Commence in 2020



Report reaching ImpactTrustINFO reveals that mobilisation of NYSC for NOUN students would commence in 2020 as school management works out modalities to see her students participate in the National Service.

It was also gathered that Convocation has been scheduled for March, 2019.
The reason for this may not be far-fetched as election is around the corner, and the postponement of the convocation would also give more room for more students to join the 2019 graduands.

Happy Resumption to you all

We are here to serve you better

FACILITATION VS LECTURES

Though they maybe similar, But they have little differences.
Students, especially of national open university of Nigeria have often used the two words to mean the same

HERE ARE SOME POINTS TO NOTE AS DIFFERENCES, BETWEEN FACILITATION AND LECTURES.

1. Facilitation is to make easy or easier what you do not understand when you study.

2. Facilitation help bring about the main point in the courses you have studying

3. Facilitation helps students in academic discourse to share their thought about what they have read with other students to make the course more understandable.

4 Facilitation helps a group of students to have an effective dialogue and argument, the work of the facilitator is to help the students argument especially in other to reach a consensus without taking a side.

The main point of facilitation is to give students an ease of understanding of what they have studied

1.Lectures on the other hand is to give an exposition or to teach on a given topic to a group of people.

2.Lectures takes more time to establish the central point of the subject of discussion because they are used to convey critical informations.

3. lecturing include: quick exposure to new material, greater teacher control in the classroom, an engaging format, which may complement and clarify course material, and facilitating large-class communication.

4.Lectures is to give a serious talk to someone to criticize their behaviours or to advice them. Many times the criticism on a student's especially is to make the student a better person. And at times it can be to scold them.

So for national open university of Nigeria its facilitation not lectures. I write this short article to make students understand that they must study their course materials before attending facilitation for the ease of understanding and clarifying of course materials. this is the best way to go about facilitation.

I wish you all the best in your academic endeavours.

Happy New Year Famz

First write up for the year⤵

➡As we are all aware the new semester starts on the 7th of this month, it going to be the first semester in 2019 (for some students is going to be first semester for them while some will be second semester know where you belong)

➡Never underload your ability: Yes I mean never register courses that you just have in your portal and wasting units when you know you have the ability to do more

➡Never overload yourself: You can't register more than 24 units every semester that is already certain.

➡Why am I coming up with the issue of overloading and underloading oneself, in recent semesters we have been having the issue of missing results and base on what I see alot of students doing, I realized that lot of students don't do a good analysis of their results to know the courses they have missing results in, or courses they have carry over in ( I have several cases of final year students expecting their names in graduating list but not been listed on it. When I asked them to send in their results I discovered that they have courses they either carry-over (in the sense of failing them) or they have some missing results which what is holding them down. I have cases of students having over 6 failed courses and they tell me they don't know they failed the course how on earth is that happening.

➡Another issue I have with students is wasting unused semester units all in the name of "Im doing what my mates are doing or I registered what I have in my semester portal". In NOUN you can never run faster than your shadows. let me tell you from experience. I do register all my 24 units every semester when I was a student, at times I pick up courses from the next semester to make up for the units. In my 300 2nd semester I did my seminar which is a 400 level 1st semester course and in my 400 level 1st semester I started my project. In my final semester i had only one course left to do which make things easier for me, by this time I have 5 missing results I decided to do only 2 out of them because as at this time already i did over 150 units while I required just 120 units to graduate. So i was just waiting for my name to come out and get my certificate but low and behold names started rolling out and all our set name didn't come out till the last list was dropped. We missed the convocation that year and once the convocation was over we started making enquires into while our name didn't come out moving from Abuja to Lagos. Our seminar result was the major reason giving what we did a semester earlier was not input in our result we did our best and everything was put in place and our name came out with the first supplementary list but we had to wait till the next convocation. Now the benefit of doing more than more courses than required, some of our mates who do make jest of us those days were doing ITK (I Too Know) had other issues and are still undergraduates been ask to be doing more courses to see if their name will come out in the graduating list.

In points

↪Before you do this semester registration, do a good analysis of your result and do the needful and not what is required

↪There is more blessing in doing more courses if there is left over units don't waste them

↪Make sure you do all failed and missing results as at when due

↪Do your seminar as early as you can and start your project a semester early.

↪Pass all GST courses even if you start from 200 level as a DE student Do and pass your SIWES (IT), Seminar and Research Methodology without them you will not graduate.

We stop here for this first article of the year as more cases come to me I post more article cases that drops on my table gives the inspiration for articles.

➡Welcome to a brand new semester I wish you all the best in it

FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO GO FOR THE IT DEFENSE

Take note of the following:


1. Your dressing will be scored.

Hence, you are not expected to wear Jeans or round neck. Dress corporate/official. Use a suit if u have. You must tuck in. If you have a tie, please wear. Go as if you are applying for a job interview.

2. Your Confidence will be assessed

You must be bold and confident all the way. Do not allow the look of the officials to scare you..they are human beings and not beasts. Just be calm and vocal. A smile will help you gain confidence and be yourself throughout the interview. Remember that they have a lot of people to attend to..hence, be very brief, go straight to the point, don’t fidget, and answer only what you are being asked.. never beat around the bush and don’t mess with the patience and temper of the supervisors.


3. Your Integrity will be assessed

There is a way they try to detect whether or not you did the IT. One of the ways is to ask you some technical questions based on the content of your logbook or report. Possible questions they ask students are:



What are the impacts that the scheme has made upon you?”
Highlight some of the activities you practically learnt and carried out during the programme?

(answer them based on some of the activities you wrote that you carried out in some part of the logbook.. e.g. installation of software..you must be able to explain to them how a software is installed on a computer system)
Have a ready-made answer to questions like these.. and I don’t advise you to share your answer with anyone so that it won’t be to them like a planned work.
4. Your cordiality will be observed

Your speech pattern, spoken English, Character, Sense of maturity, Composure and other important factors about you will be observed and assessed. Be balanced in all sense.. don’t try to be too impressive and don’t try to be too slack or dull too.


5. Your documents must be on-point, complete and intact

You will be requested to submit your logbook and the other forms.. make sure that all sessions are completed successfully and accurately. Double check before proceeding for the interview/defense. Make sure that all the places that need to be stamped and signed are completed accordingly.

These are the little tips derived from the last semester IT defense.
Take note and Take heed.
