That will be the fault on the side of the student, don't u think so cos the main article points to the University and the system forgetting the lazy student who gave out all his assignments to be done for him/her by another person.

pyrated:
I would suggest that NOUN should reduce the TMA to 15marks (5 marks per TMA)


To completely rubbish NOUN program is unfair

Enskynelson:
U gave an assignment to your student in the University, and he take the assignment to his friend for instance who assists him and and he passes. Tell me, is it unethical? This is not a test but an assignment. I hope you see some light from my points sha.

Enskynelson:
Remember what I said earlier... TMA remains an assignment and if u choose to do yours like that, remember it's not all of the students that does that.

Enskynelson:
But is that the case? What is the significance when UG students still struggle to get 40/100 and PG students the required 50/100 even with the so-called free 30 marks?

Enskynelson:
Free 30 marks? Can u define that? How free is the 30 marks?

Enskynelson:
You made great points however, if you have ever seen the general performance of students, you will wonder what happened to the TMA scores. TMA as the name implies is an Assignment and in any assignment, it doesn't really matter how the student get to find the solutions - textbooks, peer groups, lecturers, etc.
I have seen how students perform during exams. You see many students not able to score 10/70 in an e-exam. The system is still very difficult for majority of the students thereby making the 30/30 almost insignificant. Distance learning is different in many aspects to the classroom system hence you cannot fully operate like the other conventional Universities.
I have students whose results are so terrible in spite of the so called 30/30 TMA. I advised one 200L Public Administration student to start all over because out of 17 courses she has sat for, she has passed only 4. The remaining are F. I later found out the student went ahead to continue this semester though. Many PG students cannot graduate even after passing all courses because their CGPA is less than the required 3.0.
My conclusion is that, the system is still quite difficult in spite the ease with which students can score a high score in their TMAs which makes it insignificant to be considered.

God knows TMA assistance is making NOUN lose credibility and respect in the eye of the public. Hardly anyone takes NOUN graduates seriously these days. Scoring 30 marks freely is becoming the major talk of the town, and this is doing plenty of damage to both the institution and the body of students/alumni.

Many of us do not know the impact of this. Soon, many employers will stylishly discriminate against NOUN graduates, with the belief that they earned free marks without putting in the required effort. At the end of the day, the students who are seeking free 30 marks will be the one to suffer for it.

I just wish there is a way to put an end to all this. I am not taking a shot at any businesses doing this. But I'm just stating my observation and the adverse effect of these things in both the short term and long term.

Seems no one talks about these things these days. But no matter how much we choose to keep quiet about it, it will come back to bite us all.

TheLaughter:
I am a NOUN Masters holder... I hold a BSc degree from UNN...

Going to NOUN was a mistake for me, I would have sacrificed more and go for a conventional University...

I have been applying for lecturing jobs for more the 3 years now, to no avail. I have no other choice than to attribute it to the certificate I presented.

Just an eye opener, it seems they are just using us for revenue generation, they do not want to intervene in the stereotyping that have rendered their certificates almost useless...

The only thing the certificate is useful for is to further your studies, no big industry takes it serious.

yak:
u are very correct. I had the same mindset which made me abandon a programme I was doing then but recently I met a guy that did his masters in NOUN who's now a lecturer in a federal University. yes he did PhD in a conventional Uni. I had to come back.
meanwhile, I know jobless PhD holders. I know one that's currently doing adjunct with a state Polytechnic. he did B.a, M.A n PhD in UI

If you haven't gotten your free Porkbun .design domain with code DSNSHOCK18A, here are some US cities still available for free registration. The top dogs (cities) have been taken or unavailable. The list below contains some cities with at least 100k population you can further research and register.

The website will be best appreciated by firms into design related services, from graphics to web to interior designs and the likes, no limitations. I got the idea to register a 'city' plus 'design' on NamePros and the fact most of the cities are available for premium registration (up to $1k), I felt there's something worth it with this idea.

tried reaching them through their online chat but no response.

IghravweIG:
So I got an unregistered name accepted on Namerific.

But I'm not seeing anything from their mail that I should register it or that they did.

Uwaeromosele:
As much as possible?
Or only one per account?
Also, is the 1$ per name or just one time payment
