What experience do you want to hear.. lollol

Noun wasn't created for your likes, those it was created for are making good use of it and are not complaining... the rest of you should face your Jamb and 7 to 7 lectures and lecture halls...... some of us have a living to make.
u are right bro but u can't jump those verifying process and expect your institution to produce quality student bro.

We are in Digital world...
No Cultism Activities
No Sex for Mark in NOUN...
No mark for buying handout
You Study at your convenience time
Study Material that can be download from the school website, Think of it as
reading the lecture instead of listening to a lecturer. . Just try NOUN study material, am sure your life won't remain the same.
Re: The Disadvantages Of The National Open University Of Nigeria by Teddyg2(m): 5:14pm On Dec 12, 2018
. In distance learning the study units replace the university lecture room
situation. This is one of the great advantages of distance learning; you
can read and work through specially designed study materials at your
own pace, and at a time and place that suit you best. Think of it as
reading the lecture instead of listening to a lecturer. In the same way
that a lecturer might set you some reading to do, the study units tell you
when to read your set books or other material. Just as a lecturer might
give you an in-class exercise, your study units provide exercises for you
to do at appropriate points.

Are you sure? If not the stupid mentality of Nigeria. What is even the usefulness of serving which yeye land. Nothing like service in developed countries. Just 2 to 3 years course "at least". And the government so approved working and studying.

You're the one in darkness
Re: The Disadvantages Of The National Open University Of Nigeria by Djbs1s4: 2:22pm On Jul 21, 2020
ha! Guys let us be guided o... let us be guide o... and not be blinded by old mentalities about our educational system in Nigeria.

I am a proud graduate of UNILORIN 2:2, and also a postgrad diploma graduate of Noun...

i have secured two scholarships abroad, university of Brunel UK and LUISS Business school in Italy WITH MY NOUN CERTIFICATE...

the idea is to be able to justify what you have learnt o, you are an ambassador of your institution.

NOUN drilled me because i had to study to pass likewise in ilorin, papers i wrote shabbily in my first semester i failed, but passed well after intensive study in second semester.

AND HEAR THIS, INSTITUTIONS ABROAD, VALUE OPEN UNIVERISTY IN NIGERIA AND OTHER PARTS OF THE WORK BECAUSE IT IS MEANT FOR SERIOUS MINDED WORKING CLASS PEOPLE.

YOU CANNOT COMPARE OPEN UNIVERSITY TO NORMAL DAY BOARDING SCHOOL FULL TIME UNIVERSITIES, BECASUE THEY HAVE DIFFERENT PURPOSES AND TARGETS. NATURALLY YOU ARE NOT ASUPPOSSED TO BE ADMITTED INTO NOUN IF YOU DONT HAVE SOME LEVEL OF WORK EXPERIENCE AND A CERTAIN AGE LEVEL.

FULL TIME INSTITUTIONS ARE ,MEANT TO GUIDE AND GROOM SMALL CHILDREN OF 16YEARS AND ABOVE INTO ADULT PROFESSIONALS, a 16 year old child will fail and be messed up and half baked in NOUN,

PLEASE PLEASE AND PLEASE, TRY UNDERSTAND PURPOSE OF A THING BEFORE YOU ABUSE IT.

NOUN IS GOOD AND VERY VERY VERY RECOGNISED ABROAD BECAUSE "THE ABROAD" PEOPLE ARE VERY OBJECTIVE AND UNDERSTAND THAT IF U DONT PUT IN THE WORK YOU CANT GRADUATE...
Re: The Disadvantages Of The National Open University Of Nigeria by Solz7(m):
Personally I feel for a pgd or msc, it's ok doing noun, because at that level you should be matured enough to comprehend or learn Independently without much supervision. But for bsc, I wouldn't recommend such, because at that level, class room interaction and guidance from lecturers is very important, especially if ur quite young. I would only recommend bscs in noun for people that starting working and earning a living right after secondary school and don't have the time to go to conventional unis and have reached an age or stage where maturity and independence is expected from them, And also for people who have atleast an OND or HND.

And with this corona epidemic of recent, there are talks to make conventional tertiary education virtual or online for the time being, if that pans out successfully, what would be the diff btw noun and these conventional tertiary institutions other than their names?
Re: The Disadvantages Of The National Open University Of Nigeria by glo12(f): 9:16pm On Jan 10, 2021
Can a PHD degree holder from Noun get a job in any university?
Re: The Disadvantages Of The National Open University Of Nigeria by Jimmy4q: 10:39pm On Jul 03, 2021
Please I will like to know if NYSC certificate is required for a master degree in NOUN
Re: The Disadvantages Of The National Open University Of Nigeria by Jimmy4q: 10:46pm On Jul 03, 2021
Please I will like to know if NYSC certificate is required for admission into masters degree programs in NOUN. I need to apply for masters and don't have any NYSC discharge certificate.

God1000:
What do you have to say now? The school is finally in the news for good.
NOUN amendment act that was passed by the senate last year has been signed into law by president buhari on December 7th.
Those of you that have ridiculed the school for years have been put to shame.

We are going to participate in NYSC scheme, attend law school.

NOUN will now have the same power functions and administrative structures like other conventional universities.

People have poor information about NOUN and just go ahead blabbing instead of doing their own research.
NOUN is very credible and it's sad that people still have that poor mentality about Open and Distance Learning system
