that 1st point no be here o.. person no come to kill himself/herself

flokii:
My own tips..
1) Attend lectures and avoid back seats.

2) Read and write or jot things down as you read.. it's okay to read a single page over and over again till you grasp something.

3) Avoid distractions from opposite sex during classes, library, tests or exams. E get why!

4) Attend evening classes by the gurus and Ajes wey sabi. it will help you.

5) Shun cultism.

Oluwa ma wa pelu yin o.

But what causes forgetfulness of what one has read.After grasping and understanding,by the time I am revising on another day,it will be as If I'm reading for the first time

This one no be bad boy o...


Dem no dey see original bad boy for class but he dey pass

zealousayo:
Even though there was a course like that in my 300l that I didn't attend the class at all, not even once, and I had 92A...but attending classes can never be overemphasized.

The idea is for you to understand the basic concepts of what you're studying, in real life no one will care if you got the A, if you don't know how to apply the knowledge to solve problems, the A is nothing, at worst it's deceitful.

Fourier got me there. Op must be either chemical engineer or a chemist

Fourier transform means op read engineering/math/physics/chemistry related courses

This is a bit dicey. I was always sleeping during overnight prep and it got to a stage I was afraid I was under attack because I would be very sharp and alert before I opened my books, but once I open it, fiam, the sleep came like an aggressive armed robber robbing me of every iota of wakefulness. By the time I woke up the night would be far gone and I wouldn't be able to study much before dawn. I struggled at first and was very upset each time I woke by 4am, but later I decided to stop night prep entirely and sleep early so that I could wake before 3am and study.

It worked. Even before this decision my peers stopped prepping with me. They said prepping with me was dangerous because after sleeping and snoring in class, I would enter the exam hall the following day and get A in the course. I explained to them that 'na God'

My point is find what works for you and flow with it. Not everyone can assimilate fast so they need shorter hours of sleep.


Not all people are comfortable with tutorials. Personally I didn't allow people tutor me, neither did I give tutorials. I didn't attend tutorials, book clubs, reading clubs etc, but I was able to pass very well because I loved studying in solitude and perfect silence.

Again, find what works for you.

why didn't you allow people tutor you or tutor others yourself? When done properly, tutorials are always beneficial both to the tutor and the tutored; they reinforce your knowledge and also reveal areas where your knowledge might be inadequate (which you should then work on).
How do you "find" what works for you? By trial and error or through accidental discovery ?
I believe there are learning methods, strategies or approaches that will work effectively for everyone with a normal brain, in as much as the functioning and operation of the brain is fundamentally the same for every normal, well-functioning brain.

OP said it all! Any other contributions na water wash!

My course is an art based course and was not technical ( I didn't find it technical. Some did) so I didn't need tutorials. I just sat down and read.

I found out what works for me by trial and error, and observation.

Just read, read and keep reading...

Someone we hoped would do very well in school just told me his CGPA. Turned out that the wonder kid we saw him as was actually an EFCC personnel. means the efcc letters are his grades. Absolutely woeful.

I didn't blame him much, with this school na scam mentality everywhere. The purpose of this thread? " Bros you enjoy school, you drink and you nack and you party. Yet you pass well". I didn't give him the "na God" reply. I gave him some tips and I hope this will help other EFCC personnels out there.

1. Never miss lectures. Lectures help you train your brain. Listening to the words coming from the lecturer to me is an expo in the exam hall. I see the question and in my mind I press play. Boom lecturer appears in my mind's LCD screen and I'm off.

2. Be very hydrated.. Drink lots of water. Food might be scarce but no let water scarce. Processed information fired up the nervous system are electric like. Water keeps the brain well conducted. Information has no problem storing.

3. Love what you're reading. I've heard I don't like this course...oga like am. If you no want like am go meet the lecturer turn am to your friend. Like the lecturer you like the course. Once a course is difficult you see me hanging around the lecturer. Wait I was playing my hair so naturally they didn't like me. But when they see a boy that should be drinking beer and is obviously a smoker trying to know Fourier transformation they want to help.

4. Read a chapter, close it and jot down what you understood. If you miss some read it again. Do it again and again till you mastered it. Then when you wake up and before you sleep recite it. Or get a mirror and say it out loud. It will stick.

5. Don't do guerrilla reading. That means reading for exam or tests. Always read ahead. I start reading from the day of resumption. No be when exam come people go full class. In fact exam periods na revision I dey do. I'm always comfortable. Read ahead.

6. Read in your comfort zone.. some like music, some like noise, some like silence. Choose your poison. For me I use Enya. Play Enya and everything I read sticks.

7. When sleepy....sleep. don't force it. Back then I used candles to burn myself. After reading the next morning ask me what I read na foul. Dem don go. When sleep come pack up and sleep. Make you no go Kolo.

8. Organise book clubs and tutorials. For me it was an avenue to get ladies. Later I found myself mastering a topic so that I can teach it later. I gain both ways. I get the ladies and still pass . Don't be like me though. Do it for the knowledge. It'll help.

9. Limit your flexing to weekends. Drink well enjoy well. Weekdays face school work. Pity your mama.

10. Remember your family. Imagine their faces when they realise you've been wasting their cash. That one alone suppose ginger you...

On a final note have reading partners. People you read with. They help. Shout out to lord fuga....., Wande oko, olu......., Yango.....,mayo..... and the rest of my crew. Hope you all are doing well in your lives.

Never forget, keep your university circle tight. After graduation na only one or two friends they remain. So why pack them?Me na 0 friend remain.

I hope this helps someone out there.

ShadowCracker:
I also plan to major in Csc.

Goodluck with ur upcoming program

iguita:
It's, I see you call yourself a bad boy. I disagree. You found your style and you stick to it. Mine was sort of different, started working full time in 300 level and I was doing an engineering course in Lasu Epe. I lived on the island and had a job that took me to Abuja every week. I go to school on Fridays and return to the island on Mondays. IE, I missed lectures, tests and whatevers. Still graduated with a 2:2

Since you missed all these tests, lectures and whatevers, how did you finally clinch to the 2.2 result?

Killerass:
if you don't have a sticky brain all these your points are pointless

All brains are sticky, you just have to train yours.

It's Mathematics ( applicable to Engineering). I was just trying to let the person I quoted know that Fourier is not limited to Chemical Engineering.

Yea, I was buttressing your point as well.

What concerns u with his CGPA? If can take simple advice continue in your old ways

If I may ask you sir, what course course did you study? and what was your CGPA?

I'm still an undergraduate...

Please sir, did I direct my question to you? did my question in any way mean I wanted to shade him? Thank God, he's an intelligent and reasonable person. He gave an answer without reading any useless meaning to my question. Lastly, who told you I'm not serious in school, or have a bad guy lifestyle?

Back then in school,

I dey always sleep 4 night.

Thermodynamics?

Ok

TheRealestGuy:
Thermodynamics?

Yeah

I did my best during exams. And thankfully, some of the tests were not used. I also had excellent results in 2nd and 3 years.

Last last, I think I was an above average student and this helped me a lot.
