Re: Naija to Yankee Thoughts And Experiences by TooMuchSauce: 9:00pm On Aug 25, 2017 |
MackyNaija: Bro i beg to differ o! I paid my app fee since last Friday, still no word from TAMUK, mailed the international students' help desk and grad school, no replies. I'm not understanding your people o, what would you advice me to do now? |
Re: Naija to Yankee Thoughts And Experiences by Panama07: 9:37pm On Aug 25, 2017 |
MackyNaija: You are very much correct, if you are a good student in Naija, you won't have single problem getting 4.0 here if you are serious. I mean how can you have low score here with just 3 courses per semester while you did well in Naija with 5 - 11 courses per semester. But u need to be serious Also, most of their exam here are OBJ .....can be difficult sometimes though because of plenty assignment. Lecturer here are not like Naija lecturer that will require you to write word for word in the exam. To cap it all, try to do well in your first semester to increase your chance of G.A and scholarship for the rest of your program. 54 Likes 8 Shares |

Panama07:So right... No matter how difficult the courses may look, there is enough allowance to blast them. Quiz, tests, assignments, presentations, even attendance sef get 5%. Exams between 50-60%. Also, most of their exam here are OBJ .....can be difficult sometimes though because of plenty assignment. Lecturer here are not like Naija lecturer that will require you to write word for word in the exam.A lecturer mentioned this objective thing + some fill in the blanks... I deh laugh ooo 2 classes I have attended and it's like they are begging to assist you to pass. To cap it all, try to do well in your first semester to increase your chance of G.A and scholarship for the rest of your program.I owe you all a good result Thanks for your input sir/ma. 21 Likes |

I have verified the cost of wifi installation... Router $6, one time rent fee $40 monthly, promo price for first 3 months. $25 Deposit, in case you do not return the router. Setting up oneself here costs about $1000, + or -$300. Initial rent, furniture, utensils, cutlery, mattress and frame etc etc. So, even with a GA and full tuition waiver from naija you still need like $1k for accommodation and other small items before you receive your first salary. 28 Likes 3 Shares |

The reason why it looks easier to pass American school exams is that the professors get promoted (or get pay raises) if a majority of their students pass their classes with a C, B, or A grade. If most of the students get Ds and Fs, that professor may be in danger of either not being promoted (to, say, head of department), or even laid off. So, it is always in the best interests of the professor to ensure that most his/her students pass the class. 48 Likes 3 Shares |
