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

BTCog:


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

mecuries:
this is an examination in a northern school.....goes to show how their educational sector is

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.

Like which ones?

SmartPolician:


Open book exams are some of the hardest exams you can ever take because most of them require a lot of reasoning. You don't see the direct answers anywhere.

I used to have a lecturer who would mention that we would have an open book exam and we would start pleading with him.

cheapness indeed!

Grandmeister:

Hell bent on what? Learn when to use the phrase 'hell bent'. Your grammar...You're forgiven since you said you studied biochemistry and not English.

Karlifate:
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.

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?


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.

Emeritus1200:
You don't understand language. I don't think you even studied English as a course in the university.

Register is a concept or a topic. So, it must be without article, just as, What is noun. Without any article, what is required is the generic definition. Supposed someone asks you, what a noun is, you can tell that person that a noun is a cup. But what is noun demands that you give the definition of noun.

Learn and learn before you jump into conclusion that someone is wrong.

Asking what is a register can birth many definitions in the exam. You should know that the word 'Register' is polysemous. Someone can say it is a book that is used to mark attendance in school.

However, what is register means 'Explain what you know by the term in this particular subject.

English isn't hard, sir. Good morning.

You're talking absolute nonsense.

Post that rubbish you typed up there into Grammarly and get your correction.

You'll wake up with your horrible grammar and be correcting your betters.

Mor.on!

You made me laugh, sir. Use constructive criticism. I believe you could do better next time. Cuss words shouldn't be left in their own words.

However, Grammarly is AI. I believe that you should know that.

What you just wrote is a proof that you know little concerning grammar. So, do you expect Grammarly to tell you that 'what is noun' is correct. This is the biggest joke that I have ever seen.

Now, type the definition of noun on it without starting it with any article. You will it won't underline it as an error.

Thank you, sir.
