@chiegemba thanks so much. Yes, I know trisemester has something to do with pregnancy, but na the school part give me wahala. Why can't oyibo people just give something one name ? Trisemester for university Trisemester for pregnancy I wouldn't be surprised if they have also named a type of food or even someone's name trisemester. May be I should go back and finish secondary school because all this one dey confuse me |
Re: Students: What's Your GPA? by WesleyanA(f): 3:21am On Jun 01, 2007 |
chiegemba: i guess. just that most of the school forms i fill out usually ask if my school uses semester, quarter or trimester system. i think some middle schools use them but who knows? I had never heard of trimesters being a school system before either. lol |
Re: Students: What's Your GPA? by GNature(m): 3:52am On Jun 01, 2007 |
On a serious note, WesleyanA, I am really glad to see you going to college. I wish you the best and I know you'll do well. The only advice I have for you is to never mix gbegiri soup and palm wine (emu ope) while in school. Studies have shown that mixing gbegiri and emu ope can lead to dire consequences, especially if you plan on keeping your grades up (atleast 1.9 gpa). Best of luck. ![]() |

Fekuti, being black doesnt mean crap GPA |
Re: Students: What's Your GPA? by fekuti: 6:04am On Jun 01, 2007 |
nosa, no, it doesn't. but why are blacks always the ones usually getting the low GPAs in fact i'm terrified, can't they follow my lead. the semester/quarter system isn't so hard to understand. some schools go by quarters some by semesters. there are usually 2 semesters with an option for summer school and there are usually 3 quarters with an option for summer school. there's spring semester and fall semester for quarters there's spring/winter/fall/summer etc, |
Re: Students: What's Your GPA? by nosa101(f): 3:43pm On Jun 01, 2007 |
fekuti:Because according to them, the college thing is a "white boy" thing. And it's usually black americans that have that mentality |
Re: Students: What's Your GPA? by OmoEko1(f): 4:57pm On Jun 01, 2007 |
nosa101:Yes oh you are right about that because most Africans abroad have above 3.0 GPA and most time we are threat to this white people because they feel we are like rivalry with them. My Cuz is a senior majoring in Civil Engineering with a 3.8 GPA despite how high her GPA is her parent are still not happy with it, I have 3.0 and my parent are still complaining. |

fekuti: i thought there were 4 quarters? ![]() ![]() fekuti: this doesn't apply to my school. blacks get some of the highest GPAs where i attend. i guess we're unique in that sense. |

someone educate me, what is GPA? |
Re: Students: What's Your GPA? by OmoEko1(f): 9:11pm On Jun 01, 2007 |
It's a Grade Point Average ![]() A system used by many colleges for evaluating the overall scholastic performance of students. It is found by first determining the number of grade points a student has earned in each course he/she completed and then by dividing the sum of all his grade points by the number of points or hours of course work he/she carried. His/her grade points for a course are found by multiplying the number of points or hours given for the course by his/her grade in the course. |

Re: Students: What's Your GPA? by OmoEko1(f): 11:29pm On Jun 01, 2007 |
wait a minute i thought GPA wa based on 4.0 maybe it's just abroad. And moreover the grading system in naija is different from US becos 50% is a passing grade and hope here anyway thing below 65 is a failing grade, infact a 65-69.99 is a D and 70 is a C. |
