Lickingleks: ow ws ur trip 2 moscow

d harsh cold must hav caught him unawares

shakaz: Pharmacy is not an easy course, you may be the most intelligent, read more than any1 else but that doesn't guarantee any success.. In Pharmacy Darwin's Theory is not survivor of the fittest it is survivor of those that can adapt most.. Well I will advice you to avoid all obstacles, bcuz obstacles as they say are those frightenin tins u see wen move ur focus/eyes off your goal..
But u galz are good in rigorous reading na, I remember in my 1st year d gals are the ones blazing the trail with 7Az out of eight we guys are just spectators with our average 4Az and 4Bz. But not to worry year1 is just like any oda science dept including Tech base on ur course similarities so dont expect the indept course like Anatomy,Physiology ,Bio-chem, Pharm chem, pharmacognosy,pharmacology,pharmaceutics,pharmaco-kinetics and the rest yet, all those would start in your part two.. Speaking from Uniport's xperience though, dont know if OAU wud keep the same procedure.. Well they ought to, given that they are under PCN..
Welcome to PANSITE.

pcn? Whats dat?

TOSIN ACCA: Even universities observe african time.LITTLE WONDER THEY DIDN'T DROP THE HOTLINES NUMBERS; THEY WOULDN'T WANT SOME STUDENT TROUBLING THEM WITH CALLS EVERY NOW AND THEN!
OH THAT THERE WOULD BE TRANSFORMATION IN OUR LAND.THAT PEOPLE WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR NEGLIGENT ATTITUDE TO WORK AND DERELICTION OF DUTY!
CAN GOD COUNT ON YOU AND ME LIKE DANIEL,JOSEPH,NEHEMIAH, ETC, TO BE THE INSTRUMENT OF TRANSFORMATION AND AGENT OF CHANGE NEEDED AS THE SOLUTION TO THE MALADY THAT HAS CRIPPLED THE NATION.
This requires deep thinking.IF WE DON'T, BY GOD'S GRACE,TRANSFORM NIGERIA ...(remember dettol advert).

TOSIN ACCA: Let's see how this helps:

Course Unit System and the Computation of Grade Point Average (GPA)
The course unit system is a system whereby programmes are designed with courses which are weighted and classified into various levels for students in the institution of higher learning. Courses are assigned units depending on the volume of workrequired to complete the course and this includes lectures, tutorials, practical. The courses can be taken at any level by any student provided there are no (constraints) prerequisites for these courses. For instance, a partI student can offer a course at anylevel provided the student has the prerequisites required for the course, while a Part IV student can still offer a part I course if such a student so desires. However it is generally desirable that lower level core courses are taken and passed before proceeding to high level ones.
The system allows a student to spread his programme evenly over the semesters provided such a student keeps to the rules and regulations of the system. For instance there are minimum and maximum numbers of units a student can register for in a semester. Every semester is as important as the other. A wise student is encouraged to attempt a reasonable number of units he/she can cope with to ensure a qualitative performance.
Apart from the end of semester examination, there are continuous assessments during each semester. These tests and the end of the semester examination make up the set of semester examinations for each course. Appropriate of scores to make the final mark of 100% varies from one faculty to another,but continuous assessment scores cannot be more than 40% of the 100%.

This section is designed to acquaint students with the procedure for computing the Grade Point Average (GPA) for each set of semester examinations and for upgrading the computations to obtain the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) at any point in time during each students course of study.

It is strongly advised that every student should learn how to compute (and actually do compute his own) GPA and CGPA. By thus computing and keeping a record of his CGPA, the student will be fully aware of what effort he must put in to remain in the University or to graduate in a desired class. This is the only way you can be in a position to be on your guard and monitor the quality of your efforts.

GPA and CGPA SampleComputations
Sample Computations: Consider a student who has enrolled in a course programme designated as EES and has just completed 3 full semesters in the university. His course programme and his GPA and CGPA could be as follows:
Note on the Sample Computation
1. The Student had obtained a grade of F in EES 107 and EES 109 at the end of Semester I. These courses thus contributed109 to his TLU but zero in TCP. He repeated the course EES 107and EES 109 and earned gradesD and E respectively at the end of Semester III. Thus repeats are included in the computation of results as manytimes as they occur in a course.
2. During semester III, the students had to drop EES 205 and EES 207 in order to accommodate EES 107 and EES 109 which he had failed [and must repeat sooner or later] in semester I. If he had tried to take EES 107 and EES 109 without dropping anything, hisTLU for that semester would have been 29, which exceeds the permissible upper limit of 22. Overloads are not normally allowed. There are no more Examination Resists in almost all the faculties, therefore any course failed has to be repeated when it is available and must be passed before graduation.
3. Students are strongly advised to consult with their course advisers before registering for courses, and on other academic problems that they may have.

Definition of Terms
It is necessary to first understand and be thoroughly familiar with certain terminologies and abbreviations that are commonly used in the computation of Grade Point Average. These are defined as follows:

Student Workload: This is defined in terms of courses units. One unit represents one hour of lecture or one hour of Tutorial or 2-4 hours of practical work per week throughout a semester. Thus for example, a course in which there are 2 hours of lectures and 1 hour of Tutorial perweek is a 3-unit course.

Total Load Units (TLU): This is the total number of course units carried by a student in a particularsemester. It is the summation of the load Units on all Courses carried during the semester. For example, a student who is carrying 6 courses of 3 units eachhas a TLU of 18 for that semester.

Commutative Load Units (CLU): This is the summation of Total Load units over all the semesters from the beginning to date. A student who is prone to repeating courses will finish (if hedoes not drop out) with a higher CLU than his non- repeating colleague and will most likely require a longer time to complete requirements for the award of Degrees.
:->
Level of Performance Rating: This is the rating of grades obtained in terms of credit points per load unit. The rating used is as follows:
Level of Performance Rating (credit points per unit)

*. A (70-100%) – 5
*. B (60-69%) – 4
*. C (50-59%) – 3
*. D (45-49%) – 2
*. E (40-44%) – 1
*. F (0-39%) – 0

Based on the above, a student who obtained a grade of ‘A’ in a unit course has scored 20 Credit points, and one who obtained a grade of C in that course has scored 12 Credit points.

Total Credit Points TCP: This is the sum of the products of the course units and rating in each course, for the entire semester period. For example, consider a student who took courses of 5 units each. Let’s say the grade obtained in the four courses wereC.B.F.D respectively. The TCP of this study is obtained as 5×3+5×4+5×0+5×2=45.

Cumulative Credit Points CCP: This is the summation of Total credit points over all semesters form beginning to date

Grade Point Average GRA: This is the total credit points [TCP] divided by the total load units [TLU], for example, consider the student’s scores referred to in section 2.5. His TCP is 45, and of course, his TLU is 20 [i.e. 4 courses at 5 units each, for the semester]. The highest GPA that can be earned is 5.0 and that is when a student has earned a grade of ‘A’ in every course duringthe semester. The lowest GPA obtainable is 0.0 and
this would happen if the student has F all round during the semester.

Cumulative Grade Point Average [CGPA]: This is not the summation of GPAs for all semesters. Rather, itis the summation of TCPs for all semesters, divided by the summation of TLUs for the said semesters. Like the GPA, CGPA, obtainable ranges from 0 to 5.

Miscellaneous Notes on the Course Unit System

*. Withdrawal from the University
A student whose CGPA falls below 1.0 at the end of a semester shall be placed on probation during the following semester. If he/she fails to achieve a CGPA of at least 1.0 at the end of that semester, he/she shall be required to withdraw from the University.
*. Final Assessment and Class of Degree: A student who has satisfactorily completed all requirements for the degree with CGPA of not less than 1.50 may be awarded an Honour degree as follows:
*. First Class: 4.50 and above
*. Second Class Upper: 3.50-4.49
*. Second Class Lower: 2.50-3.49
*. Third Class: 1.50-2.49
(COUGHS LOUDLY AND READS WITH GREAT SOBERNESS)
A candidate who does not reacha CGPA of 1.50 but whose CGPA is not less than 1.00 at the end of the programme is awarded a pass degree [i.e. without Honours)

NB:CGPA calculation is on all courses, but excluding Special Electives.
