Chukwuka16:
Thanks.

I'll put a caveat to your write up that good grades determine one's seriousness with education mostly outside Nigeria.

The reason is simple. With the growing instances of sex for marks and money for marks and other instances of graduates who can't articulate ideas or stitch together sentences to construct a flow of ideas and our flawed assessment pattern of 'la cram la pour ', it will be fatal to rely on results as a testament to how serious the majority of students are with their education.


Critical thinking is the core of any serious student. The ability to ask the right questions and possessing the skill to conduct independent research in proffering reasonable answers.

I'm a product of the system for my bachelors but was lucky enough to have been grounded in the art of research and thinking from family and senior friends. The inability of fellow scholars to assess certain fellowships or grants or ace some interviews always comes down to the poor assessment level.

Well done!

Imagine a colleague of mine saying that his greatest achievement was finishing with a first class! Of course he wasn't invited for the next stage.

Finishing with a first class is commendable, it's an achievement but not the highest form of it. It's just a means not an end. What he does with that first class is what matters.

For serious opportunities results may not be able to put your feet anymore at the door. Poor thinkers are being weeded using online psychometric and other analytic tests.

Results, most times help people secure interview slots. Then the interview stage is where people who actually studied for intelligence (people with good grades I was referring to) are segregated from the group of sex for marks and what not. [/b]


I am not saying that people with low marks haven't achieved great heights. Neither is the case that every high scorer has made it in life. But, life is easier when you have a visually appealing score card.

brother, i want to study engineering but am not so good with math, is that a good choice

Guy....
Pls check yourself again.
You only read to pass exams... And that's why you are a first class graduate.
People like you forget everything you read the moment you leave exams hall.
Learned and well educated people don't read to pass exams, they study to know.
You shouldn't encourage others to be like you... Because there difference between reading and studying.

usmanktg2:
Not been so good in mathematics is not a challenge.
University is where you build your entire life. You have to get yourself ready with it. As long as engineering is your choice and what you like, you are good to go. The war is real, get ready for it. Hug.

Op, you need a new brain. The one you're using now Is full of poo.

Most of your points are caused by lack of adequate preparation for examination.

Every time I slept in a major examination, I end up having A. Because me sleeping means I've answered all questions and don't want to Futher stress my brain. so your assertion is baseless.

#5 You Only Read A day to examination

Lack of seriousness is when a student start reading a text book or study material a day to examination. Oh! you think this is normal?

Don’t be deceived, it is one of the most obvious signs that school is not for you.

ROSYL:
Registered in 2018 and already telling people to keep quiet? Ok, sir!

Where have you been all the while? Under the rocks or you just turned 18?

Yeah, she will end up graduating and can't even defend her result. Right?
