greatestman:

Noted.

Thanks

I wish the OP were as humble you to see that he truly made a lot of errors.

greatestman:

At the bolded if that is how they teach in faculty of Agricultural Science, that means you need an extra year making it Six years to add many courses in your General studies Unit and English department.

NB: Nobody is perfect but please OP try as much as possible to eliminate shorthand in your spellings.

If oyibo dey read this you write up e no go understand and him go they abuse our system of education.

.

overhypedsteve: 5 years just to learn how to plant corn and feed fowl.

.....dat a big waste of time ooo.

francleanflexy: . In a bid.to appear superior you ended up making a fool of yourself. When typing unofficial stuffs online it is allowed to write like that

I think with this your sense of reasoning, you have a long way to go.

In my write up where do I appear to be superior?

And what are unofficial stuffs online?

If i may ask?

Seriously it's a waste of time imho..5 years for Agric Econs

The course it worth five yrs...that makes it a professional course.U̶̲̥̅̊ undergo training in engineering,enterprenuership,get to knw Ūя̲̅ soil science,animal science,fishery and forestry.jst that in dis part of d world tins are nt done d ryt way. I studied agric econs wit my knowledge and acquired skills am ruling my world.am also a research scientis in my field.

All what OP stated here are true,if u interview an average Agric student from federal university of Agriculture Abeokuta; same thing will he/she tell you. A country that want to meet d goal of being a voice to reckon with globally need to be involve in much of practicals than theory. 100level-intro GNS,phy,chm,math. 200level- breif intro to crop nd livestock 300-brief intro to fishery and forestry 400level- farm practical year(using hoe nd cutlass in dis 21st century,dis is when I knw dis country is a joke to international world) 500level- u still hear title of course such as introduction to and u still do borrow courses... Its a pity

osca234: @ Op check ur English pls... but to ur questions, i think the idea of first degree program is to give you a "general feel" after which you can go for ur masters and specialise in a field of ur choice.

but for me i believe this is not helping us fields like agriculture thats more of practicals should be vocational in nature. this means you can go straight up to where ur interest lies, like fishery,crop,poultry etc coupled with entreprenueral education.
This will expose the student to alot of practicals and at the end he can be selfemployed and an employer of labour.

My guy please work on your grammatical errors and punctuation.

If farmers vex now, na hunger go kill all of us

Alright...i appreciate your contributions and corrections. I was in haste to put up these written and i felt very lazy to cross check d write up and make some ammendment before posting.....in my shorthands,i think have been used with it.but i will summon my conscient to it henceforth.......thank you.

it would have been worth it if the quality of education was right. It's a field that should be majorly practical. But varsity education in Nigeria aint so. i can remember my lecturers forced handouts down my throat. imagine a hand out on plant diseases and symptoms did not contain one single black and white picture let alone colour pictures to illustrate them.
lets not even talk about the typographical errors in the handouts that had to do with calculation....this one was enough to drive a student insane.
(so many days i felt like banging my head on my reading desk after going through examples in the text and grabbing nothing)
In my opinion, 5 years is a shameful waste. 3 years would suffice.....then send the poor students on there merry way to acquire real knowledge and experience on the job or biz.

Hahahahahahaha! You complain about studying agriculture for 5 yrs? What would you now say about people that study the likes of soil science, crop science, animal science, agric economics and agric extension which are just branches of agriculture for 5yrs? The field of agric is very vast. 5yrs is worth it. B.Agric like someone said, is not Bsc. This 'Nigerian factor' sha!

in my field(soil science), i think i had the same experience,when a course of one unit almost expelld me from school on the basis of handaout.

it all right by me,after-all am true

Just like some people mentioned, agriculture is very vast. I'm studying agric economics & this is how my course outline looks like
100L- We dudn't do anything related to agric, just physics, chemistry, maths, zoology, botany etc
200L - We did "introduction to" agric econs, soil science, crop science, animal science, fisheries & forestry & wildlife.
300L - Fisheries & forestry & wildlife students received different classes here, they focused on fisheries & forestry courses only. The rest of us did statistics, agric biochem, soil chemistry, microbiology, pedology & taxonomy, arable & permanent crop production, ruminant & non ruminant animal production, etc
400L - Practical courses throughout. We'll go to meteorological stations, fish ponds, saw mills, farms,etc in the 1st semester & in the 2nd semester, we'll be sequestered in a notable farm for 3 or 4 months & put all our skills to use, then come back & write exams.
500L - Each department receives classes separately though there are still a few general classes. We'll concentrate on our course itself. Under agric econs, there are disciplines like agric policy, agribusiness management, econometrics, administration & programme planning, etc.

The workload cannot be compressed into 4 years unless they scrape those 100L courses. I didn't see the point of reading physics or chemistry.

And people please, agric is more than just planting & rearing now.

Lol...d thread is nw an english class....on the topic...five yrs is befittin if u asked me...agric is veri vast nd broad...

NUC is a HUGE JOKE

CAN YOU IMAGINE?

Soil Science - 5years
Animal Science - 5years
Aquaculture - 5years
Fisheries - 5years
Forestry - 5years
Crop protection - 5years
Agronomy - 5years
Agricultural Economics - 5years
Agricultural Extension - 5years

overhypedsteve: dem say person use five years read agric this one still dey talk about english. You nor get luck say im nor use im local dialect write am.

chai!!!...u wicked oooo

In my skul(UNIBEN),faculty of agriculture has forestry and wildlife,fishery,animal science,soil science,crop science and agricultural econs n ext,even @ that the duration is still 5yrs.the ish is dat agric is wide,

Oh my dear! U also forgot to add accounting as a final year course. I'm a graduate of agric economics and extension. I must tell u i don't regret it 1 bit. I had d opportunity to lecture ND2 students in 1 of the polytechnics in lagos state during my service year. It was fun. Ride on!

neyur: @oscar,nothing is wrong with ma english,i just had an incomplete sentence in ma last paragraph.fank 4 ur concern though. U ar absolutely correct with ur sugesstion.happy sunday

Are you shitting me

so chemistry,physcis,biology,biochem,are not wide

Aizebioje:
Are you shitting me

so you are still on issue of correcting your english?? Put a write up let people see if u do better than me...

humphreydwhiz: . This guy must b a uniben student

Lol. I'm female. And yeah, I'm a uniben student.

Wow, that's nice. Which school did you graduate from?

sometime you get to find out that,those who claimed to be superior are inferior..i apologised publicly over my write up but dont know why this oscar of a person still nagging his head on the page...

people orientation differs,most people once they heard u say you ar an agric student,they put on the cloth of mocking thinking you have gat no future,mission and vission to accomplished.....neither do i regret if am a student of these association.

PassingShot:

For real? a lot is wrong my friend. I never wanted to comment about your English not until I saw the above. I know we all make mistakes but to claim what you've written is ridiculous.




There are too many errors in your post which I do not even have time to analyze. Go through the ones I've stricken out and find out the correct words yourself.

You have spent five years in a university and you still don't see anything wrong grammatically and spelling wise in your post!

And please learn to write not in"shorthand" because it does not help your writing skills. I hope you take my contribution in good faith.

hmmmm....i never knew nigeria has gotten another soyinka,stil uner d struggle of making himself or herself known. So you think you have gotten all what it takes to be called an english student??...alright put up an article and publicise it so that people may applaude you.

I do not concur with your assertion.... I'm a graduate of the University you mentioned and I believe the duration of study should be extended to 'bout 6 years if not more...
The real problem with the system is most students do not apply to study an agric based course, they are randomly thrown into agricultural departments should they not meet the required grades for the course they've chosen...alas most of em' don't take studyin' serious...

If you really are focused you'll get the most of the current cousre you're studyin'... I did and I am an active researcher, somethin' I love doin'...
