encryptjay:
Hullo, educative blog you've got there.

Thank you!

Jman06:
It is one of the many false opinions circulating in our society. I've heard people saying that they prefer those that readily express their anger regardless of whichever way they do it, whether by verbal abuses or even by fisticuffs. They say this because they believe that those who would rather not indulge in violent altercations at any slight provocation would hold grudges against their offenders for long. But the truth is that the quiet and reserved guy might just be better in anger management than the other guy who reacts readily to provocations.

I totally agree with this.

Una well done.

I need your input on this thread.
Are quiet people really wicked?

Nesso:
They are not, its jst some pples way of trying to justify dia bad behaviour against quiet pple. These type of persons say they (quiet pple) are wicked cos they re scared of wats gonna happen to dem wen quiet pple react as a result of some bad thing they hv done. They wicked pples are the ones dat take quiet pple for granted.

I largely agree with this...

kozmicity:
people are scared of introspective people...besides,you may not know it now, but we are very wicked.
Yours just hasn't started acting up

We?

stacyadams:
The day wey I handle my friend Bleep up..e do am like film.after em land hospital ..don't just push quiet people around cos if. Dem plan for u ,u no go anticipate am at all.

Let's assume you are the quiet type. Would an extrovert have reacted differently to your friends action?

SmellingAnus:
Lol... I am honestly an introvert.... I dislike problems, you will hardly see me looking for trouble... Never been banned on nairaland... I avoid trouble because I know that I can

You can do wetin? Complete your statement.

Rukkydelta:
Cos we are deadly when pushed to the wall
Quiet people often look others excesses but when it's just too much. Their payback is something else
I guess that's why your colleague made such statement

And extroverts aren't deadly when pushed to the wall?

Fadiga24:
No, not the same a revenge well planned and executed is disastrous.

Are you saying loudmouthed (not in the exact sense of the word) people don't plan out revenge?
Are you saying the reason why quiet people are termed wicked is that they take calculated revenge, while 'extroverts' are not or less wicked because they exert vengeance sooner?
Are all quiet people vengeful?

Fadiga24:

Someone who exerts revenge immediately and another who delays, but still carries it out are the same.

DeadRat:
Well It Depends On Temperament... Cholerics will Tend To Take Their Action On You Immediately You offend... But Melancoholy and Phlegmatic are Reserved And Can Be Revengeful... Quiet People Can Be Very Dangerous, depends On The Offense and Their level of friendliness with Forgiveness... So Its Best Not To Offend Unpredictable people

But this is no reason to be termed as wicked/evil.

TechPanda:
Nah. But fear them.

So why the 'special' fear?

I have seen quiet/reserved people repeatedly being labelled as wicked even when no act of wickedness has been committed.

Yours truly has been a victim. And it isn't a one-off experience.

A colleague once told me He was scared of me. Why? For being reserved and introspective most times.
I've heard my neighbours say something similar.
It seems this perception is widespread.

How does being reserved translate to wickedness or being evil my fellow Nairalanders?

Only sack?
Bros prosecute them

Did I mention you risk a carry over/re-sit of your courses when you miss classes?

Congratulations!

@ DatkRebel69 you studied psychology right?

This is priceless. I'll have to read this again and again.

whitebeard:
Anyways this is for Nigerian and any other African country alike...cause some student prefer teaching themselves than being thought by their teachers, some would attend class ask a question and the lecturer/professor won't be able to answer well..class is boring cause we can't picture clearly what we is being taught, someone would just be writing figures on the board and getting different answers, when they now ask student to put it to practical (see gobe)...

@ emboldened, why do you think so?

tobillionaire:
yea... AOCs will also be known

Exactly. Either intentionally or unintentionally, the lecturer spills it.

If you want good grades, you must be ready to attend classes. Remember you paid tuition. Don't let it waste. This, however, is a less important reason compared to other consequences of truancy. It is advisable that you try as much as possible to be present at all classes in an academic session.

How do you intend to ace that examination and obtain that eye-popping CGPA without attending classes? Absenteeism lowers your chances of success, which class attendance guarantees. The benefits of attending classes are outlined below:

Obtain marks for class attendance Lecturers in the university I attended, awarded marks for class attendance. This also applies to many tertiary institutions. This mark could be the difference between getting an A score, and a B.

A worthy guide for studying lecture notes and materials: Many textbooks and lecture materials are ambiguous and complex to study. However, when you attend classes, the lecturer, who obviously knows a lot about the subject/course of study, breaks it into understandable/digestible chunks easy for assimilation. In class, you get new insights, perspective and dimensions to the subject of study. You and your colleagues also get to ask questions, think critically, and provide answers to pertinent questions under the guidance of the lecturer. You don't want to lose out on these benefits.

Class attendance saves you study time: Time is a luxury. Instead of spending long hours trying to figure out what the author of the text you're studying is trying to pass across, adequate class attendance would simplify it. You get a better understanding when you relate what the lecturer says/taught in class to your personal study. That way, you have enough time to cater for other time-based needs.

Answering exam questions: It isn't unusual to see students miss classes while reassuring themselves that textbooks would help them catch up. What they, however, fail to realise is that a good number of lecturers use a different approach in presenting lessons. Others are highly opinionated. Whatever questions they, therefore, ask during the examination will be based on the context of study in class. Don't be a victim.

An opportunity for interpersonal relationship: Lecture sessions facilitate interactions among students, and with the lecturer. Ideally, it is an opportunity for building lasting relationships. You get to forge friendships in class. Friends can help you achieve good grades. Such a warm environment facilitates learning. Your lecturer also gets to know you, and mentor you. I appreciate intellectually stimulating discussions, and attending classes gave me an opportunity to experience one.

Good notes: When information goes through several human channels, there is bound to be distortions and misinformation. Same goes for copying other students notes. It is very important that you are in class, and take down your own notes yourself. From my own personal experience, I discovered that notes I personally took down during lectures were more understandable than the ones I copied from fellow students. Being present during classes and taking down your own notes will help you understand your course of study and ultimately excel.

Puts you in a studious mood: Going to classes connotes responsibility. It is an important motivation for study. It drives away complacency. It reminds you of the reason why you are in school. This is necessary, so as not to lose sight of your goals of studentship.

You will not miss test and class exercises: It is common to see lecturers administering an impromptu test to students. In such a situation, you miss out on marks accrued from taking that test. Those little marks count in your quests for academic excellence. Don't be a truant.

Haven said this much, there might be instances where you have to miss classes due to some reasons you consider important. In such a situation, it is recommended that you inform your lecturer and/or course representative where applicable. Also, remember to get the notes you missed from a serious class member and not a poor performer.

It has been proven that class toppers and high flyers don't miss classes. You cannot be a truant and expect a good exam grade at the end of the academic semester/session. Such a student will most likely not have mastery of the subject of study nor be of reasonable benefit to the society. Be a diligent student, and success will be your companion.

Did I mention you risk a carry over/re-sit of your courses when you miss classes? I have advanced enough reasons for attending classes.
Don't miss classes habitually!
