Everyone has something that works for them. There are people who sit in the front all through the semester and still fail while they are people who don't even attend classes but have better grades without sorting lectures. I only attended gst classes in my year one and in my second and third year I never attended gst nor EPs classes but I still passed them with ease. 1 Like |

Truth is that I don't like attending lectures... It's just not my thing but last semester I actually killed myself with awoko(midnight reading) yet I came out with 3.2 outta 5....I don't really know what to do. Maybe I should try the OP's strategy first 1 Like |

This post really resonated with me even after 12 years since my 1st degree ![]() The op is exactly on point as regards going to lectures! I had always been ahead of my mates in school. For example, by the time I was in SS1 I was already doing SS3 Mathematics (thanks to Further Mathematics). At some point I stopped studying and was using other students to practice (when they ask me to teach them!). I started getting cocky. Fast forward to 100 level. I was blazing! My first GPA was 4.55, hot!. Decided to start skipping lectures. Next GPA was 4.52, still hot. Let's sleep during lectures. I still had some residual knowledge and intelligence. 200 level 1st semester GPA dropped to 4.4 or something, CGPA was still in 1st Class so no worries and the 200 level, 2nd sem I had 4.1 or something, WTF ![]() ![]() By 300 level, I had dropped to 2.1 and then I almost gave up and I started to notice girls ![]() 400 level, I attempted a come-back but by then it was too late. I graduated with a 4.29 CGPA. I can never forget that number because I know I had the potential to make a first class. My young folk in the house. My advice is that you attend lectures o! Yes, education is not everything but if you are going to school do it well or drop-out. BTW, I have a blog ![]() 2 Likes 2 Shares |

At lectures, you get the concept, scope and depth expected in the topic. Some lecturers are good with analogies and you would miss out if you were absent. Reading is good. It is during reading that you compare and validate what you heard in the class. Also, you will come across even better and simpler explanations of issues. **I must say that threads like this are more useful and realistic than throwback pictures and what a lady wore to Church** 2 Likes |

this is really true, I hardly read in high school but always attended classes and made sure i did all my assignments and take homes in class and it worked for me even in the university. But all that changed when I started doing professional programs and exams, couldn't even grasp anything in most of the 4 hour classes because many instructors wanted to finish 18 modules course in 2 months of 8hrs per week lectures, what gave me the extra motivation to read was my passion for codes and my field, I no know where I for dey now ![]() ![]() ![]() 2 Likes |

EVERY BODY IS DIFFERENT. I only attended lectures regularly on my final year at school. d only reason i did such was because most of the courses were practicals. But throughout the rest of the years, i only attend lectures two times a week( to collect notes, assignments & photocopies). 1 Like |

The fact that you have to beg students to attend lectures is appalling. I do not blame them, sha, I blame the decay in our educational system whereby a student, like a poster above, feel they can just sort their way out of failing grades. Something drastic needs to be done, and fast. The entire school management system needs to be overhauled, and the |
