chukuli: Quite delusional! LASU's calendar is one of the fastest presently. We are ahead of even Unilag, U.I and OAU. Yes, I know LASU had challenges in the past, but LASU is one of the best Universities presently. Mind you, Solmon Arase(former IGP), Idiat Adebule(Deputy Governor), Farida Waziri(Former EFCC Chairman) just to mention but a few all had their Masters from LASU. Not to talk of the thousands of great people that had their degrees from the prestigious Lagos State University. I'm a living witness of the quality education LASU offers. LASU graduates are doing well all over the world - one of our graduates recently graduated from Oxford University as the overall best student in Finance Law(out of many students from over 32countries). You can check my profile to see the report. Meanwhile, have u heard of Professor Lanre Fagbohun, the new VC of LASU and how he is blazing the train of development in LASU? Cc Aanuoluwapo3054

ephi123: I also pointed out some errors after going through it again. It's difficult to type long write ups on small phones. You will always make some little errors. Although, it's impossible to modify what has already made the front page. Thank you very much ![]() ![]() 1 Like |

talk about amazing..this article is..before I entered sch and while in sch I have always thought about this...I don't cram I study I do research... One of my most annoying day in sch was when I asked my lecturer a simple question he gave me an answer...I just took it in partially cause I was not comfortable with the answer..I decided to do a research.. Before the research I had a very likely answer...during research I found out that my answer was correct... I never wanted to attend that class again..I felt like dude I am wasting my time... 1 Like |

AmbodOfLASU:Its a private university, Afe Babalola University. . . just last semester there was a special research class on robotics free for everyone to join. . . two semesters ago our students invented something that won a prize at an international summit in Canada . . . even personally creative ideas are welcomed. I remember getting a bonus last semester in Engineering math because I used a completely different approach to a problem in a test. My prof sent for me. . . I have a friend too that isn't that great at memorizing, but is an excellent engineer. . . he applies concepts and builds prototypes and sometimes, based on his use of the concept in relation to what was taught, lecturers use his designs to substitute for some parts where he didn't do too well in the written test. As I said, its a private university though. I wish Federal schools could be like that too, but the problem is that there's no motivation and incentive. . . a lecturer that's owed like 3 months salary can't be excited to work with students, all he'll be thinking about is how to feed himself and his family. 1 Like 1 Share |

Kdamilola:without much words I just want you to know that consistency is key in anything in life whether you assimilate quickly or slowly.... With the system many Nigerians are there in abroad beating others who grew up with a better system.... Criticism of a system doesn't mean the critics are/were poor students. I always want the lying dog to be let alone. |
Re: The Euphoria of CGPA and the Illusion of Success by Kdamilola(m): 2:52pm On Oct 03, 2016 |
Emmydek: And don't you now think something should be done to aid those who assimilate slowly in order to be consistent like their fast learning counterparts? |
Re: The Euphoria of CGPA and the Illusion of Success by Emmydek(m): 3:01pm On Oct 03, 2016 |
Kdamilola:I can see fault in your write up. Are all fast learners consistent? It's not how far but how well. There are many slow learners out there who the fast learners can't contend with.. why? consistency!!! I know people who assimilate quickly and also forget quickly.. The point I think we should be raising is that whatever system one follows he should develop himself to be pragmatic and not esoteric to be able to face challenges in his line. We should stop mouthing criticism |
Re: The Euphoria of CGPA and the Illusion of Success by Kdamilola(m): 3:17pm On Oct 03, 2016 |
Emmydek: To someone who doesn't support your view, there would of course be a fault! I never disputed the fact that some slow learners are much better than their fast learning peers. But do we have a system that gives them the required period they need before they can understand what is being taught? You have the gene to become good, but you grew up in a bad environment, don't you think you'd be phenotypically bad?! And for the issue of criticism, a society needs it to grow! A child can not improve if he always receives pats on the back regardless of what he does. We should laud the good deeds and constructively criticize the bad ones. #shalom |
