He is not really incharge of the class... Whatever happens to I will get back to you next session..

Who was he trying so hard to impress... I guess it might be only in Nigeria that a lecturer might claim to know it all..

One Google search from home or after school hours would have helped remedy his situation...

I Think the lecturer is not experience enough. Mr. lecturer should have pulse, divert the attention of the class, crack some jokes to regain himself. At worst, he might even give the task as an assignment to the student while he goes home to make some research.

Like I said, maybe the lecturer could have prepared better BUT solving problems in the class can sometimes get out of hand because the lecturers mind is divided between solving the problem AND carrying the students along with the solution.

And sometimes, an error somehow creeps in and the lecturer cannot quickly find it. This is usually the problem (a discrepancy between the lecturers preparation AND what he has written on the Board.

Kudos to him though: it means he is not just copying out the note for the students. He is ACTIVELY carrying them along. I have taught advanced Physics before, so I understand.

Me, I see a lecturer trying hard to engage his students AND not just a note dictator/copier.

Some aspects of Physics are abstract. Once you try too hard to force Sense into it, you distort the principle or concept behind the theory. How does one physically explain why √(-1) = i
Unfortunately as a physics teacher, you are forced to cook up explanations why such is valid within a solution.

Physics is connected to maths.. everything has been proven and has explanation before we all are even born...

Well I get u

Even Einstein faced similar problems.. So don't blame him , he needs get back home and check then correct it next class.

There is a big difference between Physics and Mathematics.
1. Mathematics can stay comfortably in the abstract without having any conscience of APPLICATION to the real world
2. Physics must go a step further by linking Abstract mathematics with REALITY. This is many times difficult and involves changing the normal way of thinking to accommodate that which is not apparently comprehensible.

I almost ran mad studying that course. Imagine staring at a text for a whole week and a still cannot comprehend anything. That is statistical Physics.

When they now introduce a little bit of schrodinger equation to it, just know u are fu*ked !!!!!

When the man decides to dictate what he had prepared before in class for the students, they will say he doesn't know what he's doing.


Now he's solving it with them in class and is stuck, the least the students could do was shut up and watch him or even try to help. They instead chose to make a mockery of him.


God punish the man who cursed Africans.

As a lecturer, I have experienced and still experiencing this same scenario but what I do is divert the students' attention either by asking questions, giving them as an assignment, or telling them we will revisit the topic in our next class. This can happen to anybody even the best of the best. What this student did is tantamount to rustication or suspension for a full academic session if not more. It is a breach of the lecturer's privacy and I pray UNN makes him/her pay dearly to serve as a deterrent to others who may have the same thought.
Even when I was defending my master's thesis, I forgot almost everything I read but the lecturers were skillful enough: they understood my plight and decided to ask me questions from my thesis and I answered perfectly well even though some also helped in buttering my point. This happened in the same UNN, Nsukka campus. I'm currently on my Ph.D. same place.

Observe all the well thought out comments on the thread. Most seem reasonable. But if this had happened in a northern university and/or by a northerner, I guarantee you the thread will be filled with words and phrases like "quota system", "aboki no go school", etc.
Southern Nigeria hypocrisy at its finest. grin

Tension on a lecturer that has been lecturing for years Babana you are wrong

Let me tell you why you are wrong. You are wrong because you do not speak from experience. I know that you haven't experience with lecturing in anything much less physics because no one with experience will make the statement that you have just made.

That a student directed more attention to an android phone that the material being written on the board is but one sign of the decay in the Nigerian educational system, simply put, children don't go to university to learn anything anymore. They don't need to learn to pass the regular exams, all they have to do is cheat. The African youth of today is a victim of western sophistication. Men invested much time, money and brain power to turn a telegraph communication system into a system where not only can unfathomable amounts of information can be communicated/manipulated, but can now perform voice/image recognition as well as many others that is now possible with neural networks and machine learning. The Africans contributed not one bit of knowledge to the state of this art, his only stake in this development is as consumer. The youth of today have no interest in actually earning anything, they expect everything to be handed to them and throw tantrums like the children they are when that does not happen. They have no respect for achievements, those above them or those more knowledgeable/capable than they are. Indeed they have no respect for much of anything for that matter. A 20 year old runs girl today believes that she has the right to sit at the same table and talk eye to eye with a man that has literally conquered the world. That is our youth for you. When I was still at such an age, I wouldn't be caught anywhere near such men, I mean, where does one start? How does one approach? Will I ever rise to such a level in my lifetime? These are the sort of questions that rattled in me that bore out the respect for such figures that our youth of today now have no use for.

This generation as far as I am concerned is finished. We hear alot of narratives on "leaders of tomorrow" and such, indeed we even had an ENDSARS riot due in good part to the schism between youth and older generations(which did have some good outcomes, believe it or not),. I would have ended this post by mentioning "I'd rather keep the devil I know than replace him with the angel that I do not know" but seeing what I have seen and knowing what I know about the youth, there are no angels to choose from in the transaction.

That is ABSOLUTELY wrong, even at a mathematical level. Prove the conservation of energy. Not possible. Prove the second law of thermodynamics. Not only impossible but paradoxical(at the quantum mechanical scale, the second law seems to simply disappear). The list goes on and on.,

This is a human adventure. I don't think anybody here realizes that the entire Education across Africa is not our way of life. We have a problem thinking that it will help us but it hasn't cos we have been doing the same thing over and over and the results are not showing. Teaching in Africa is so difficult to the extent that the slightest temptation can make you forget your name because we don't have a curriculum on our own.

It's not that some people don't know it. That's the whole purpose of the book in PDF on my signature.

It's the over bloated ego acquired through same education that has kept us in intellectual slavery and won't let us understand that this education is foreign, just like Christianity and Islam.

The lecture the teacher is delivering is not an organic knowledge that evolved from African epistemological reality. He's not passing an organic knowledge to organic Africans. That's the problem and that's why we're also stuck in scientific development in the real world in Africa.

Having said that, I find it hard to believe it would happen to everyone.

The video poster and his cohorts sums the calibre of Nigerian students we have presently. You can see the social media preference even while in class and their lackadaisical attitude in class

Alusiizizi:


Absolutely. It's a shame someone had to post this video, as if it shows anything. When in front of an audience, there's always a tension that follows about, and sometimes that can cause mind-blocks. Usually gets better with experience though.

Bro it's not about what I teach.. it's about teacher preparedness to class.. everything u teach must be practiced before u enter the class. So u be ready for questions and be able to sort out out of the blue confusion.. the teacher was over confident and lack preparedness...

He was clumsy and he deserves the embarrassment he got... D u know he has the right to select a topic to be taught till he is ready with the most difficult ones...

I repeat it should never happen... A reminder I also teach advanced econometrics at the University level for final year students... S he doesn't have an excuse

You sound too cocky/inexperienced for a lecturer, it can happen to ANYONE and that's the beauty of university education, there are so many end cases you can't prepare for, it could also have been an impromptu question from one of the students . Problems emerge and are tackled on the spot, not cramming and dictating notes like kindergarten pupils. Imagine having an Albert Einstein as your student, body go tell you.
