If the worst case is staying an extra session, so far he will meet up, let him sumon courage

Every single course u do in Higher Institution, u MUST pass them all b4 u can graduate, else d person wil stil return as a spillover student 2 write those failed courses!

Dis is why Higher Institution is not Secondary Sch, where failed subjects can slide & d student wil stil be promoted without looking back!

Any carryover in d 1st Semester must be written in d same 1st Semester of d next level!

Same wit any carryover in 2nd Semester must be written in d 2nd Semester of d new or next level!

Barims:



Please bro. Let's assume that someone had some carry-overs in their first semester exam at the 100-level, and fortunately, that person passed those courses in their 100-level second semester exam. Will that person still have to retake those courses again in the first semester at the 200 level? Please enlighten me on this.

casspersteve:


For my 200level first semester na 7F, i failed 7 courses but I graduated with my set and my name came out first list, I pray the young guy doesn’t relent, carry over no be death sentence ooo

Guy wetin be the reason for this, I just want know. Is it that you no settle well for school or what?

Biochemistry is something else!

I'm sure those courses are those ones filled with pathways and complex enzymatic stuff.

Know what? Ask him what he truly wants. If he doesn't want the BCH anymore, let him write jamb and move to another department or take the bold step, go back to 100lvl and do something else.

You are silly boy go and face your miserable life that is fading away if care not taking you will not graduate. You will become big brother in campus.

Lol
The man you are quoting is not the one that need help.
Last time I checked, paNnamdi is in his mid 40's.

So I'm certain sure someone in his mid 40's can't come online to seek for such help rather a younger sibling of his.

MasterTeeUSA:
I just had this discussion today...school is not for everyone..Instead of wasting money...he should invest in farming or other business and do certifications to become a master of his craft. Parents need to get over this desperate needs for a degree...even in the US, a billionaire is paying people not to go to college because he considers it a waste.

Now I don't think it's a waste but we often enter for a course we don't like and don't want because of cutoff then we keep on...then finish terribly and then realize we can't get a job with 2.2 or 3rd class and then regret the whole thing...why not cut your loss early and move on?

I left dentistry ...felt ashamed and later got full scholarship to study what I really enjoy Engineering and graduated with honors. I wanted to be a dentist for the money really..I enjoy the handiwork but the studying I hated and the professor...I withdrew after 2yrs...everyone was shocked. 10+ yrs later...no regret

Which scholarship?
Here or abrod

charlesdinho:
carry-overs are not diseases. i remember when i was done with 400 level in the university, i was having 5 carry overs, 2 in first semester and 3 in second semester. when i came for the spill overs, i cleared everything and went for nysc that same year. so what is the big deal in having carry overs? adding one year to clear your outstanding courses will not remove anything from your life

So you pay another school fees for that extra year?

You might think of your village people for urgent discussion, but not at all, nothing is new under the sun. We pray the snippers saller within will avoid the young champ.
Finally, commit him to God for mental stability.

of course, i paid and that gingered me to work harder to pass the failed courses

Sorry about your brother's predicaments. Your brother needs someone to guide him on reading methodology as it relates to biochemistry. Reading entails several aspect, however, the most important of all is knowledge internalization and accuracy of recall. He need to work on these. Their are strategies to achieve the above. He may try googling to know more. Wish him good luck.

My younger brother studying biochemistry at the University of Benin have had about 5 carry overs. Now he is in his third year, and he is seriously depressed. I have seriously reprimanded him and also consoled him but I don't want him to spill and based on the fact that when am in school I never had issues like this, I decided to bring this online.

Is it possible for him to drop some of the mandatory courses in his department(note not core courses o,but mandatory courses) to accommodate for the carry over courses he had.

Please I need legit answers from those who are experienced in issues like this.

Mod u can place or more this to the rightful thread, Some might still be passing through this situation too in silent.

I don't think it is possible to drop mandatory courses. You need to boost your younger brother's moral and let him know that having 5 carryovers is not the end of the world. If others pass the courses , he too can pass the courses as well.


He should get past examination question papers of the courses he carried over and for the courses he is studying and study them thoroughly to know questions in the past examinations questions papers that have the tendencies to be repeated so that he can prepare adequately to answer them if they are reapeated.

If the questions are six to answer four questions for example, he should know the four questions that he can answer correctly study them and know how to answer them even if the questions are twisted.

He should be puntual to all his lecture classes and take notes and attendance seriously . He should take his continuous assessment works like term papers and take home assigments seriously. By God's grace, he would excel

CharlesJok3r:
He should drop out. There are better things he can do and excel at in life apart from school.

what are those things? Mind sharing

Biochem oh my God.... I feel pity for him ... structure of DNA reach am to fail self

Seek advise from his course adviser..

Instead make u confess say you get 5 carry overs, you dey here dey form say na younger brother
Na extra year you don get already. If u no know book, why u enter study biochemistry when courses like plant science or animal nutrition dey there
Baba just free your mjnd say u no fit graduate with your mates. Your extra year sure pass.

Bro did you ask your brother weather he can study that course? Not about dropping some mandatory courses but did he fit in for the course ? I guess he was forced or he might copy any of his friends doing the course. Maybe he can dropout and go for another course that is not widen as biochemistry

Resurrection212:
you get it right bro.na idiot the guy be.

Well this is a faceless forum,if only u knew who u are chatting u will be begging me for help.i have already helped some nairalanders who want to make it in life.

Just continue to think everybody is your mate.

One more time u and that silly nairalander called madgoat alonside UYEMDO35 are all very stupid and u all will die in your current situation of life.
Even my lil bro in question is million time better than u all.

Lols .your brother no serious.

all my courses this semester na carry over ...next semester na still carry over ...and the carry over continue till my fourth year ..am a uniben student also ..you have to read and pass the exams na wetin I con they understand..

Trojan8:


Very impractical advice. Characters dey this Nairaland

To the Op, depends on if he's just starting 300L or not. If he's just starting, I believe that you can accommodate 5 carryovers over two years if he doesn't add to it. I schooled in UNIBEN and course registration limit was 50. Most times your available courses hovers around 43-48, so a little room to fit in some 2 unit courses.

In an extreme case, he can work with his course advisor though. I know some colleagues that were able to fit in more than 50 units in our final year with some short corner ways.


This is at the discretion of the course advisor because it's an illegal practice.

What about his IT?

Moneyyman:

I'm sure those courses are those ones filled with pathways and complex enzymatic stuff.

Know what? Ask him what he truly wants. If he doesn't want the BCH anymore, let him write jamb and move to another department or take the bold step, go back to 100lvl and do something else.

Lol
Thanks for your advice though.

joyandfaith:


He should change course or write another JAMB. Biochemistry is one of the difficult course in the country because most lecturers don't know it but they are too arrogant to admit that.

Lecturer doesn't know biochemistry but teaches biochemistry ?

Hmmmm. Had issues In my first year at the uni.. Having Completed registration, had to defer, came back the same year, resuming for second semester, got an ID card.
Second year I had to leave due to esoteric reasons( based on health condition).

The best advice I can give, is that you should try and advice ur brother, give him confidence, and tell him that he should be serious with his studies..

Is it a crime if he spill's? Do you know why he had those 5 carryovers in biochemistry? You think the course you studied is the same with biochemistry? Come and draw the structural formula of b-glucose and levo rotatory glucose with other structures off heart before you start asking why he had carryovers. Hiss

armyofone:

Many people attend churches but they do not God. Pastors inclusive. Deep knowledge of a subject is a requirement to be a good teacher. Late Prof KD Thomas was one of the best medical biochemistry teacher in the country. He thought me.

Biochemistry is hard and close to useless in Nigeria. If Uniben is like Unijos then forget it. With 5 carry overs your brother will spill. If you like him advise him to take another JAMB. There is 80%chances he will still have another carry over in his final year. That department no get joy o

As someone who graduated from Uniben department of chemistry my advice to your kid bro is that he must talk to his course adviser. The standard in Uniben is that your carryover courses must be registered first before even your core and mandatory courses. It’s in the order of carryover > core courses > mandatory courses > electives.

If he has enough credit space in his current session to accommodate his carryovers and other courses then he should go ahead and register them all. However, if there’s not enough credit space to do that he will eventually have to register them in the order I mentioned above. He may have one or two courses outstanding in that case. Those outstanding courses could fit into his 400level and 500level academic session provided he does not pick up anymore carryovers. He still has the potential to graduate without any spill over year if he can pick himself up and focus.
Lastly, I’ll reiterate my earlier point. Let him seek the advice of his course adviser.

He is free to drop subsequent level courses he like to drop to make room for the carry over courses. That's how it's done.

He must first register all his carry over, before including the present level courses.

But tell your brother it is not a crime to spill. People do spill wella but still graduate well. I have a friend that spilled like fire. Like 3 different time but still graduated with first class. How did he do it? He is a scholar. He always make sure he cleared all his carry over with good grades.

So, your brother feeling depressed simply for 5 carry over, when he is still in third year, he is just worrying himself unnecessarily.

Any carry over you have, you can't write it that same semester. That's why it's called carry over. You will carry it over to the next session.

You can't write first semester courses in second semester. For instance, that's why you see course code being arranged as CHE561 & CHE562.

That 1 indicates first semester and that 2 indicates second semester.

You cannot write that CHE561 in second semester of that same session.

Just for an illustration.

Bobbyjay001:


Please, name some of the institutions. I want to check something.

Use your data wisely mr man

Tell him to see his Department's examination officer and his own level registration officer...this two are the best persons to advise hi
