Regardless of the cheapness of the exam, those that will fail, will still fail.




Open book test/exam, students dey fail sef.
How much more a "cheap" one.

3 unit course for that matter

How will you ask a final year English student these types of questions?

An average JSS 1 student will answer the last question without any doubt.

In English as a subject, registers are terminologies associated with a particular field of endeavour or profession. Eg, in aviation, you have words like; air crew, cockpit, runways etc. I knew this as a JSS 2 student.

yes the questions and cheap and ridiculous for that level.however it's not as terrible as they are sensationalizing it.all these ancient professors with their outdated Knowledge always get some abnormal high From the mass failure of students even though I understand too that many of these modern day students too are not serious and are mentally lazy

Is this primary English or university exam? No job... No job, yet they're graduating unemployable people.

SmartyPants:
What on earth does he mean by "what is register"?

Register can be a verb or a noun. Without an article we'd have no idea which is meant.

What is a register?
What is the register?
Or what does it mean to register?

Ah bros no fall hand na. Pls live up to your moniker o.

Register was a commonly taught topic since our Common entrance (Primary 5 Ugo-C- Ugo) days.

Register as used here, is obviously a noun, so the question ought to have been, "what is a register?" or what are "registers" or what is the concept of register.

My point is, the question is written wrongly.

Normally, BSU na glorified secondary school

ok Sir

Oh ok I get you now. Well it also speaks to the incompetence of the examiners.

MrAdam:
Final year suppose to dey write English?

. It's English department na.

I left university 17 years ago where I studied Electrical Engineering but even without any preparations, I can comfortably pass the exam.

This is where we all fail. Please what's the course outline. Hopefully, this is not part of the outline. Nigerians love to twist questions unnecessarily. We fail most times cos we were asked what was not thought. I hope we get further investigation and clarification on this. Exam nor suppose hard as we think am. Most prof are mad in nigeria cos of this sin

Meanwhile during my masters in the USA, the exams questions were even simpler than this. It was usually either fill in the blank or, objectives or short essays of no more than 150 words or a simple oral exam or a class presentation or writing a short paper (as exam) or open book exam( yes, you heard me right, open your book and copy to you hearst content) or the'd take class participation and attendance and grade you based on that.
In all, I learned more than I would have learned in Naija. We did the bulk of the work during the semester ( They will stress you with weekly readings, presentations, papers etc) and then they'd give you a simple exam in the end. It will also shock you that Thesis ( Long Essay) is not required for graduation in most Masters and Bachelors programs.

In contrast in Naija, a lecturer will even tell us at the beginning of the semester that no one will get an "A" in his course.

No be by exam; if it is by exam, it is easy to "cram and pour." The emphasis should be on holistic human development -critcal thinking, innovation, independent thought, relating theory to real life experience etc. not what you can regurgitate in a three hour exam.

Some student will still fail sha..

This particular topic, "register" was taught in The Polytechnic, Ibadan GNS ND1 2nd semester . i take the question shine for exam hall that year.

Even GSP 102 (100L) in UNN is harder than This...
They taught us all these topics in GSP 102, year 1 in UNN
.
.
My parents ask me to school in the North...I said no... now look at this bonanza they are giving them

That's how they will shouting up and down am a first class graduate,with this junior waec questions

Nonsense was the question not forwarded to the faculty before it was administered? Abu which kin ignorance be this?
Check their previous questions I'm sure we're going to see a pattern.
In fact i want to see their African literature, stylistics, systemic grammar, and Renaissance questions
Doc Alabi for unilorin nearly kill us with tree diagram then Na God save man

Those questions are primary 2 questions in some private schools.

We were taught register in GSP 102 UNN...I'm not even an English student Oh...I'm a science student.....I can answer these questions anytime anyday... whenever and wherever
That's a 100L topic and Question

Zonefree:
Nigerians and their aproko do this one.

Exam wey students don write since submit papers, hoping to score atleast B, na em Nigerians with their over sabi go spoil show for them.

Why will they give such questions to final year students, if it was year 1 it would be understandable.

Please don't post stuff like this online for public viewing. It will have a negative impact on our people who are planning to further their studies abroad. The outside world will look down on our credentials even though we might be better educated than them.

I'm a student of the above said university from the department of Biochemistry. Though things are not always same cos even our year two exams were hell bent. Wrote two bloody chemistries that my brain is still yet to recover from the shocks

MrAdam:
Final year suppose to dey write English?

Final year no supposed to the write exam bro

I have never done this before but current situations got me jittery. I need help with a good job. I have a good Bsc. I graduated with a 2.1 Am an orphan. I struggled to go to school. Now I finished. A good job is hard to find. It seems because I don't have someone highly connected I can't get a good job. I need help. Am 34 years. I need to make headway in life. My mates are married. I have been doing small small jobs here and there, from one State to another but they don't seem to break the ice. Please if you can be my destiny helper, I will forever appreciate. Am computer literate and a graphics designer. You can reach me on 07034930579

Omniman:
. Funny enough plenty go still fail

This your comment reminds me of one course we did in year 3 ( measurement and instrumentation). The lecturer gave us mean, standard deviation in the exam. Guess mhat. I failed the course. How it happened, i did not know.

At Unical Department of English, by the time Dr. Bassey Asuquo, English devil ,Dr. Victor Bassey and co visit your case you will know that Jesus is Lord. Questions for ESP dey get children and grandchildren.
