you should learn to put your own identity and language above others. we are not english people we are Yorubas, Igbos, Efik, Ibibios e.t.c. we are different nations packed into a creation by the selfish interests of english people.

correcting english grammar errors means upholding english, it is the duty of english people to uphold and elevate english culture while it is the duties of Yorubas, Igbos, Efik, Ibibios e.t.c to uphold their own culture.

note I used did not capitalize english.

Magnoliaa:



I don't know ohh. Maybe it's some kind of complex lol. Anything 'oyinbo' or 'unAfrican' must be ruled out.

IFEOLUWAKRIZ:
I didn't defend him.
Peace.

einsteine:


Another rubbish.

Broken and pidgin English are different.

Google Farooq Kperoogi for the difference.

midnighter:


What!

Those examples you cited are completely different

He came to a public platform to lament the state of his department. he is presenting his case to us, the public, and we cant get through up to one sentence without being assaulted by one grammatical blunder or the other. And when it was pointed out to him, he couldnt even modify it; in fact he continued to argue

If he writes an assignment for a lecturer, and the person is overlooking his mistakes to get the meaning, thats because the lecturer is looking for particular key-points which are more urgent in that context. And even at that, at a point, with writing as shoddy as this, he will have to remove some marks for poor communication

Why do you guys keep making excuses for the wrong thing..he should proof-read his writing before he posts an academic complaint, is it how he will continue until he graduates? we have a lot of problems in this country

einsteine:



Rubbish.

This result shows the students are dunces in this particular field of study.

It's computer science. It's objective and not subject to the examiner's opinion like an exam in History or Sociology would be, so there can be no cause for victimization.

Note that some students still scored good marks. The rest are just dull and should do something that's more up their alley.

Jonathan39:
Computer Science. The name sounds simple, but by the time you jam raw mathematics courses from year 1 to final year plus Programming courses, You will be begging to graduate with your mate. Computer Science Should be Renamed As Applied mathematics so that people will understand what they are going for. Many people Who doesn't do research before applying for a course mistake it for going to University to learn Microsoft Word and Power point.

Magnoliaa:



Seriously? How many of these claims did you verify before typing? Which do you know to be true?

Is that how 'bad' we are?

Convenant University and other private institutions nko?

Nigerian Universities rank among the top 100 in Africa.

UI is around the 18th - 20th and UNN - even among the top 30s sef.

There is something like "fluent in spoken and written English" in the job market as well. The point is that, no serious organization will employ someone that writes poorly in this way. It is not all about understanding the communication. On the basis of his written English, one cannot vouch that, he has the IQ to pass the course. No one is looking for a perfect write up, but this is below minimum for an undergraduate and even for some of us that are not English masters.

In your opinion english is Nigeria's national language but most people don't care about english or even communicate in english in Nigeria.

it is not about wrong attitude to learning.. most people are limited to their teachers/lecturers knowledge even though they can do their own research and perform better... most times its about who is doing the teaching/lecturing and how the teaching/lecturing is been done..

where they given tests and class works to test their knowledge?

I am not defending stupid attitude because the OP is not stupid. you are the one who puts anything foreign above the indigenous cultures of the country. Again, its about how the OP was taught and you understanding that there is no such thing as "higher education" because education does not end in university..

bidex:


a typical Nigerian student's mindset. Course wey you fail, you dey claim lecturer fail you by d way, your spelling of Harassment is wrong! its one R not RR.

Jonathan39:
What made you conclude the exam was objective?

codemaniacs:
this is exactly the problem with midnighter and einsteine...

the same way a chinese is not expected to speak good English because they don't teach them in English is also the same way a Nigerian is not expected to speak good english even if they are taught in english...

a lot my classmates spoke their languages to each other once the teachers were not in class or once school had finished for the day, this means in most homes people don't communicate in english.

it has nothing to do with embracing mediocrity, some people are intelligent due to their environment, parents, upbringing e.t.c and some are not intelligent due to the examples above.

jnat:


The lecturer did not fail them,they failed. You can see other students grades there. Op is just seeking for public sympathy.

iamsonofthunder:
most of these guys think their English can take them anywhere in life, if I'm recruiting anyone Grammer is my least concern provided the individual can communicate his thought

codemaniacs:


On paper, its the national language while in reality most people don't use it.

it is foreign and not adopted it was imposed on the education system but our ancestors/politicians didn't and have not removed it.

if he wrote the wrong thing in his language I still wouldn't correct him as long as I understand his message..

how to improve his skills and grades is more important than his written or spoken communication, its his skills that will get him jobs in future.

WriterX:
you know what is really funny, majority of us who feel we are right to criticize the OP which evidently we are, still aren't intertwined with the proper use of the ENGLISH LANGUAGE, I can practically start assessing our comments and rule out words, contextual meanings,punctuation marks, tenses that don't make no sense to the statements but hey I guess our OP was way off the chart on this one and a good polite reply would have calmed the nerves.

Yemmy94:

Thanks for the contribution bro,Allah bless you...
I pray they move it to front page

midnighter:


It has everything to do with his English now, why would a student write something like that...on a topic about bad results for that matter

So is he proving the lecturer right or wrong?

That means he's trying to say that he himself should not have been admitted into the department

capitalzero:


that is consequence of examination malpractices in waec,neco and jamb. many students who struggled with mathematics and physics in SSS are in computer science and engineering departments. how would they cope? More than 30% of students in universities are in wrong departments. some are not even supposed to be in universities. They should be learning trade or in polytechics
for diploma not even HND.

weyreypey:


Pan African University.

codemaniacs:
been able to explain and express oneself to everyone's understand is a skill the OP isn't really good at and he probably failed the course and his going through anxieties right now, expressing himself properly in his current state of mind is not easy.

we don't know him, we don't know if he already has jobs waiting for him and if his family has a good network and can get him a good job.

you cannot solve a mathematical problem wrongly if you know the right method, in maths the right method will lead to the right answer..

again, we don't know his current mental state, he may not need future interviews if he has a strong network..

Yemmy94:
How can the prority of a department in the university is to reduce student.

What is there gain?
Does this make them the best department?

Why will they allow lot of student to be admitted into the department and next thing they want to do is reduce them again.

This department is a big mess and something need to be done about this.

Even the 400 level student are already having an extra year while the ones that had an extra year before is having another one again�
This is painful and tragic�

Please better advice the 100level student to change department because most of them can't survive it.

Lot of them are starting with 2 point and there are low chances dey will survive.


CSC IS A BIG MESS
