thankyouJesus:Follow our updates closely and learn by example. Maths is easy; it is a language just like your day to day English (written and spoken). You wouldn't have difficulty solving problems once you understand the language (i.e question) and you'll be able to interpret (solve/evaluate/prove) it accordingly using prescribed steps (methods and formulas). NOTE: No one, I repeat, no one is an Olodo! The different between you and that guy that's good at Maths is practice. So, it entails hard work my friend. Practice! Practice!! Practice!!! Good luck! |

Hello nairalanders, I am a 200L undergraduate student in a state university in the south-south region of Nigeria studying for a Bsc.Ed in Mathematics. My goal is to graduate with at least a 2.1 so as to be able to further my studies in any branch of Mathematics overseas. I'm having a bit of a situation with my 100L school fees which is a substantial sum. These has really gotten me worried as my school intends to withdraw my admission (and others too) if I couldn't meet up by the end of this semester (that is by August). Below is my last post on a thread I created last year about my intention to achieve my goal... Here's a link to the thread https://www.nairaland.com/3360699/those-intends-make-first-class Kenny4lyfe:Cc @olawalebabs @Fynestboi @Richiez @Seun @lalasticlala @dominique I'd appreciate it if the mods could move this to front page for me please. Thanks in anticipation. 1 Share

Kenny4lyfe:Hello folks, Our results for first and second semester has finally been released (3 weeks ago actually), all of my coursemates have seen theirs and most did excellently well. The first batch of result was released on 9th of May (which coincidentially happened to be my birthday). As I type this text right now, I'm yet to see my results because I'm yet to pay my school fees. I did made mention in my earlier posts that my school fee is not a challenge, well... it appeared to be one stubborn challenge that does not want to go away. I went to my HOD to see if I can just know if I had any cause for concern with any of my courses (the same day) but she yelled me out of her office in the presence of other students (how worse can it be anyway). The emotional after-effect took it's toll on me for a week, I couldn't summon enough courage to attend any lecture. The temporary set-back turns out to be an opportunity for a bounce-back after I'd read enough of Pastor Chris' Rhapsody of Realities and Pastor Joel Osteen's It's Your Time (faith has it's way of overriding such negative emotions anyway). I bounced back to my better self the next week and I had to lighten my burden- take some trash out. Two weeks of more lectures and here comes our second semester results. I knew mine will not be on the list so, I didn't bother to check. I only congratulated my coursemates who come through on clear standing (not that I regard myself to have performed lesser anyway). And now comes this week with this void I couldn't seem to fill, haven't thoughtfully considered it, I realise that this void was due to the fact that my fees remain unpaid. Though my resolve/response is to better my yet-to-be-released-result this semester and the next, yet for a reason I couldn't seem to summon enough courage to attend lectures this week. I am a young man with only God as my backbone but there's a limit to what flesh and blood can endure given the present circumstances. It appears as though I'm loosing my steam but I'll keep fighting still. After all a road without an obstacle leads to nowhere. Never mind my tone please. I still give myself hope even when there appear to be none in sight. That's just me. To anyone out there who can help, I have a school fees issue of a substantial amount that needs to be taken care of. If God has placed it in your heart to help me, kindly reach me on 07034372788. I am willing to share my admission documents with any interested person/group who wants to ascertain the genuineness of my status as an undergraduate of a university. God bless you as you do so!

Hello everyone! As you might have noticed, I had just changed the title of this thread. This is necessary due to the fact that; though I'm it's author, the thread really insn't about me making a first class in Mathematics Education alone but it's about anyone out there who shares the same aspiration. I will encourage everyone to share their success stories with highlight of the huddles and challenges they went through in the course of achieving their aim. God bless you all! I got a Textbook on Linear Algebra last week. Mehnn... that course is hot! Mathematical Methods is as undone beans as well.... It is well! 1 Like |

Hello guys, I'm sorry for being offline for so long. I'm staging my comeback gradually sha, please bear with moi. 200L first semester has resumed last week our lecture timetable is yet to be released (I sure hope it'll be out by Monday). Our 100L results (first and second semester) are being compiled presently. I'll post it once they're released. I'm ready for an adventurous semester though (my morale is on top notche). I know that with Christ in me, winning is sure and I hope it's same for everyone out there. Thanks @Kennyjam, this thread is indeed a place to get fired up. Y'all stay blessed! 1 Like |

Hello everyone, Haven been (well fed and rested ) at home since Feb. 17th after concluding my second semester examinations till today 28th Feb. which happens to be the last day of the month, I'm now going to give everyone a final review of my 100L as regarding my socio-academic activities. I must mention though that in as much as I will try to be as transparent as I can, I would for obvious reasons not go into details or divulge the identity of persons or group of persons that I had interacted with in the course of my 100L studies. Thank you very much everyone for your continued support, patience and encouragement!Here we go..... As its always is for every freshly admitted undergrad in a Nigerian university, I was more like a JJC among thousands of JJCs on campus. Our resumption came up at a time when the older undergrads are already in the middle of their lectures so we had very little help when it comes to guidance. The lucky/blessed ones are those who had friends or colleagues amongst the older undergrads to guide them through the registration, accreditation and every other necessary processes a young undergrad will go through in a university (I had one who was of great assistance). When it came to choosing my course option and registering in my department, my first challenge was to locate my departmental office. When I'm directed to a particular office I end up knocking the wrong door most of the time (One can only imagine the myriad of departments under the faculty of education in my school) and to tackle this challenge, I decided to first locate those newly admitted undergrads as I who are in my department (most importantly, those that intended to choose physics or mathematics). It took me less than 48 hours to do that. I met three young men I'd like to call Peter, James and John (not real names) who where looking for the same office and together we met two other young men I'd call Paul and Silas who have already been to this office and have already completed their registrations and have chosen their options (i.e. Maths). Paul and Silas told us the exact location of the office (they even took us there) and informed us of the necessary requirements to be able to choose physics or maths including tips on how we should carry ourselves in front of the Staff in charge of the office (who is now our course adviser). Paul and Silas are now our course reps for most of our MTH courses. As at this time, lectures have already started for the newbies so, to cut the long story short, I will highlight in points the different challenges I faced and how I overcame them. 1. The Option Question: I wasn't quite clear weather to choose physics or mathematics because of the love I share for both courses. The fact that I originally applied into this university to study computer science didn't help matters as I wanted a course even after which I can go for post graduate studies in Computer Science. Peter, James, John and I had a deliberation and "voila" Maths it is (though James and John have already gone ahead to choose maths, Peter and I haven't. Peter chose physics initially. Our deliberations changed his mind.)! So, Peter went ahead to choose to change over to Mathematics leaving yours truly behind. I couldn't enter the office initially because as at this time I am yet to open my registration file in my faculty (without which I cannot open a file in my department) and I am yet to pay my school fees. I've only payed for acceptance and clearance at this time. What I did to solve this dilemma was to attend same lectures as Peter, James and John (since they chose the same option I wanted) and keep myself updated as to how I can have this registrations done even though I'm yet to pay my school fees. It so happened that towards the end of my 1st semester 100L, the school announced that those who are yet to pay their school fees can go ahead and register at the faculty (and of course their departments) so that they can get their matriculation number before exams. In this case, those who are yet to pay their school fees can only do manual course registration instead of online course registration. On receiving this news, I immediately went ahead to open my faculty file and by the time I got to my department to chose my option, the space for Maths according to the Staff in charge, has already been filled. She recommended Physic which a lot of space still. I politely told her I needed to study Maths so that I can proceed in Computer Science for my post graduate studies and she agreed and included my name among those studying Mathematics Education (my school fees issue is a done deal too). 2. Friendship and Study Group: Peter, James and John eventually became my close friends while Paul and Silas became close but distant friends (they are my course reps anyway). We solve problems together, exchange lecture notes and analyze and argue concepts together. We even do our assignments together but despite all these, there is a sense of competition, the intent to out-do each other can be visible in all of us. (Peter, James, John, Paul and Silas are all males, we have very few female course mates. Though they are quite friendly but I try as much as I can to avoid them). The other relationship I had is with my room mate (I lived off-campus) who happened to be a 200L student studying Biological Sciences he appeared smooth at first but turbulent towards the end of my 1st Semester because of his inability to manage resources and his love for girls. I quietly packed out before my 2nd Semester examinations commenced. Friendship with campus girls (I mean dating or any form of serious relationship) is something I didn't have on my agenda from onset because I have priorities and I don't like distractions. But there is this one time a lady tried to play on my naivety as someone who hasn't really dated or had a girlfriend before and below was what she did; A. She's in my faculty and I'll call her Ada (not real name). Someone told her that I'm a "yoruba boy" after a lecture and she rushed down to me, grabbing my arms and stole me away from my friends (very surprising and funny actually). She said she like "yoruba boys" and would like to have my contact so we could be friends. I gave her my contact but never with the intention of calling her (She called my line immediately to ensure the authenticity of my number. B. She will occasionally call me to check on me and her real intentions was made known when she started to ask me to help with her assignments while she travel to different places (only God knows where). I had 2 contacts of hers and she had two of mine. She's on WhatsApp and so am I but she will never chat me up (I don't bother anyway). She's also on facebook and so am I but the only day I suggested we should be friends on facebook, her reply was, "I'm not using my name Ada on facebook oh! Just search for my surname and you'll find me in the search results". For me, that is a "no" sign. So I didn't bother to. I also found out that Ada is dating other campus boys and lecturers. When I added the pieces together (including other things I observed but not worth mentioning on this thread), I came to a conclusion that this girl and her ilks are looking for intelligent guys like me who will be their academic problem solver. in other words a boy-boy (I school in the southern part of Nigeria) and intelligent "yoruba boys" are always the target (unknown to her, my origin is in Zion). C. I quietly (and gently too) avoided her and I told her through her room-mate that she would not see me again until we resume 200L first semester. I'm also aware (through books I've read on relationships) that the best way to kill a relationship is to cut-off the communication channel (which is what I did and thank God I did it), now I'm free from Ada and her likes and I'm now wiser. My Final Decisions of Friendship * Peter, James and John remains my best friends and study-mates even as we resume 200L second semester. I will do my best to contribute my bit to our academic exploits, psychological well-being (moral ) and spiritual and financial well-being (whenever the need arises).* Anyone who's into the business of lousy chest-beating and noise-making with a know-it-all attitude (like Paul and Silas) will be kept at arms length from next semester. * I will not be emotionally involved with the opposite sex. * The only socio-religious activity/gathering that is dear to me is that of my church and none other. (some campus fellowship dudes tends to disturb too much). Accommodation Decisions For Next Semester * I will still say off-campus but it'll be in a nearby town to my school. * I will be my own "landlord" this time (no more annoying, wasteful and womanizing room-mates). If I were to have any room-mates, any of Peter, James and John will be a perfect candidate.) * There will be no unscheduled visitations but during the day and at "ungodly" hours from any of my course-mates or supposed gate-crashing friends. My Welfare Decisions For Next Semester * No junk food! My meals will be cooked (inexpensive though) and fresh. * Availability of Beverages and fruits will be ensured. * Exercises and other physical activities on Saturdays and My Keyboard and Acoustic Guitar training will be properly scheduled within the week. * Rehearsals with my church choir on Tuesday evenings and Saturday evenings will be of utmost importance as always. * I will put more effort towards working on soundtracks for some of my songs by visiting sound studios. I've been a song writer for too long yet no soundtrack. That must change. Ok guys, this is where I drop my pen. I will now go ahead and commence my preparation for 200L first semester. I have just two weeks to do that because my school resumes on 17th of March 2017. Thanks and God bless you real good! Off I go! 2 Likes |

killsmith: How can I possibly forget about a desired result (a set goal)? To forget about it is to lose focus. I'd have preferred not be anxious about making a first-class (now, that's better). Girlfriend no go buy me the latest mecedez benz not to talk of satisfying one (any campus girl that pose as a friend always turns out to be a leach, sucking you dry) so, getting one is not part of my 7 Point Agenda. I need you to tell me more about that part where I will construct Mathematical proofs. As for wicked lecturers, they don't scare me, I perform even better with them but any lecturer with evil intension towards me and my academic success will never come my way. I'm sure of that. I love Mathematics and I will grow my love for her still! Thanks for your advice. They are precious! |

SetrakusRa:This is exactly one of the things I was gonna address in my next post. I'd share my experience so far and your advice above has already summed up what I intended. Thanks! 2. Its not to just Work Hard, but Work Smart. (that's the difference btw students who read hard and get average results, and those who read average and get wonder results.)I agree with you. To work hard is a necessity, but to work smart requires wisdom (as a child of God, that's why I have the Holy Ghost). I've resolved to be as wise as a snake believe me! Haha! 3. Find motivation. (its like the fuel of any successful person. it keeps you in check when your will power nears rock bottom). See blogs like www.jarushub.com or read self-development articles on www.medium.comMy first source of motivation is God. I got myself committed in God's house immediately I resumed on campus. (I'm an instrumentalist/singer). My second source of motivation is this thread; the Bible says, "write down the vision, make it plain..." (I'll quote the verse later). I read alot of motivational/religious books (especially those written by Rev. Chris Oyakhilome, Joyce Meyer, Ben Carson etc.). Thirdly whenever my zeal tends to be declining and I visit this thread, I get fired up! Sharp-sharp! I will visit those blogs you mentioned too. Many thanks! 4. Love your Course. Find passion for it.Now, this is one truth I've always known but I haven't practiced it in a while (not since secondary school) and I find this invaluable. I intended to up my game this time. I'm even organising free Math tutorial for WAEC students in my church during this break. I will also do the same for 100L students once we resume. I know it'll help me alot. Thanks! 5. Get lots of course materials. One is never enough.This is one area where, not just me but all my coursemates have challenges. A whole university liberary no get materials and past questions on Math courses. It's amazing. All we do is borrow and photocopy from our engineering friends. But that in anyway is no excuse as far as my intentions are concerned. I will ensure I get course materials both online and printed materials. 6. Be competative. I have a coursemate who beats me every semester, i take him as a rival and that pushes me to be better. I'll certainly beat him soon sha.I say a big "YES" to this one. I intend to be a silent acheiver, No chest beating and no noise making (the empty cans makes the loudest noise anyway). I will be friendly though but with wisdom (some people are leaches). 7. Remember where you come from and ENJOY school. (i have a girlfriend and i goto several parties. Those can't stop me from getting a First Class. I have priorities, so should you)I remind myself of who I am and where I'm from everyday (that's my daily guiding principle during morning devotion). Girlfriends?  Naaah! They flock around me but I "run". When a girl tries to get too close, I talk to her to know what her intensions are. I'm not permitted to be in a relationship with the opposite sex right now. My success depends on it 'cus they can be pretty distractive and burdensome (Valentine experiences easily comes to mind lolz).What's good for you might not be good for me anyway. So, thanks still! Try get these materials for those courses:Thank you! Thank you!! And thank you again!!! Your advice has proven to be a treasure of inestimable value to me. I'm most delighted! God bless you! I go shop rice during your convocation oh! |

I rounded up my 100L second semester examinations yesterday. Glory to God. While I wait for the official release of both my first semester and second semester 100L results, preparations have started in earnest for my 200L first semester courses, especially my departmental courses. List of my 200L Second Semester Courses 1. EDU 231- Citizenship and Moral Education 2. EDU 241- Curriculum and Instruction 3. TEE 221- Introduction to Science Education 4. GST 222- Peace and Conflict Resolution 5. MTH 211- Mathematical Methods I 6. MTH 223- Set, Logic and Algebra 7. MTH 235- Linear Algebra A total of seven courses. Our second semester break will not be up to (maybe bearly) 4 weeks this time. The school admin is rushing us due to a five-month strike that hampered our academic calender last year. So, it is widely believed that by December 2017, the 2015 set of undergraduates will be in first semester 300L. What this means is that our 200L will run from April to at least November ending. The two semesters in 200L will run for *seven month*! So help me God! I'm not going to relent in my preparations for 200L first semester. Though I will touch on all this courses but much more on the MTH courses for reasons I will state in my next post. The goal is in sight, the stage is set, the materials within reach (thanks to pdf materials courtesy google) and the expected outcome certain. Most of all, I know that: with Christ in me, winning is sure. Amen! To all those following my updates I say- Thank you!!! I need advice and opinions from scholars in the house though. cc @fynestboi, @olawalebabs, @Richiez 1 Like |
