Education / What Do You Think; Should Journalists Stay Home Or Do Their Job Amidst Covid-19 by uniprojectM: 2:17pm On Apr 02, 2020
A video was trending over the internet lately of a yet to be identified Journalist being harassed by men of the Nigeria Army. Observation from that video showed the ‘Journalist’ making a video with a mobile device, of an empty street, revealing how compliant citizens of his location have given the stay at home order. It was at this point that the video was interrupted, with the men of the Nigerian army rushing toward his direction, harassing him afterwards. The rest was untold.

Now, I studied mass communication and as a matter of necessity have been exposed to the freedom information acts. Journalist at this time, in my opinion should keep the nation informed of the developments and how to take caution amidst the covid-19 pandemic just as the case of war. On daily bases, new cases are being reported; I mean you and I sit at home the next minute we are on twitter, facebook, checking whatsapp status, instagram etc. sourcing for the latest gist. We certainly are waiting to hear seasoned journalist, trained journalist or depend on crowdsourcing which still has to be confirmed by reliable news sources before it pegged as authentic information.

Learn more about mass communication projects and research

But I have my regret;
Journalist needs to be safe too. To contend covid-19, going out to source for information is not a great idea at the moment because they are putting their lives at risk. While going to Covid-19 Isolation centers taking photos and interviews, the chances of contacting the virus is very high. As much as I know, Mass communication studies also teach ethics; ethics of security and the likes.

However, do you really think that having the men of the Nigerian Army militate against a civil issue like covid-19 and journalism ie. mass communication in essence is a great idea? Judging from that video, the victim’s phone which he used to film the video was obviously snatched from him just after he received the first hit from the military guys.

An Icebreaker;
If journalist or news men should sit at home like everyone else, do we depend on crowdsourcing information? Is it something we could manage atleast while the pandemic lasts. How about people who are so bent of raising taking that opportunity to unleash uncensored information for people to consume.

What do you think?
Education / What Are Features That Well-researched Undergraduate Projects Must Have? by uniprojectM: 5:12pm On Mar 23, 2020
Undergraduate projects research is not your regular kind of academic assignments, it is more organized, well structured, censored and requires specified pattern of presentation verbally (written and oral). There are other forms of research that are presented and that are as organized as final year projects; however and for the sake of clarity, ‘will love to introduce you to features that well-researched undergraduate projects must possess.

See typical undergraduate projects topics and research materials in full outfit

Undergraduate projects follow strict structures and patterns of presentation that are specific to the institutions, faculties, fields of study, etc. as the case may be. That notwithstanding, there are universal and generally acceptable outfits which every undergraduate projects research must present.

Features of well-researched undergraduate projects

Written in Chapters
Undergraduate projects are written in chapters except for the preliminary pages, that is those numbered in roman numerals from (i-x). The chapters consist mainly of chapters 1-5.
Chapter one contains the introduction and historical background, chapter two the literature review, chapter three the research methodology, chapter four data analysis and chapter five the summary, conclusion and recommendations.

Citation
Undergraduate projects without citation is not complete, it can hardly be regarded as a research work. Research projects like undergraduate projects are meant to present points with evidences of initial research done by earlier researches on such issues. The sources and authorities have to be acknowledged.

Data analysis
Every undergraduate project research must present data to show working for the research done.

Scope or delimitation
Very important feature that undergraduate projects must have is a scope that it covers. The researcher must carve out the space or cycle which the project research must stick to and not exceed.

Research Objectives
Undergraduate project must have sets of objectives which the research must fulfill. The questions that it raises shall also be answered at the end of the research findings.

Conclusion
Whatever has a beginning must have an end; a research without a conclusion is not worth its name. Undergraduate project must produce conclusions as the rationale behind the research.
Education / Interested About Upgrading Your Jamb Scores? Note These Exam Guides by uniprojectM: 1:32pm On Mar 11, 2020
Soon, candidates who have enrolled for the 2019/2020 Joint administration and matriculation board examination, (JAMB), will face the examination squarely. I've been made to understand that JAMB candidates are already printing out their Jamb examination ‘print-out’ to know the jamb center they have been posted for the upcoming Jamb computer based test. What I’m not so sure to answer is the question of how many of the Jamb candidates have the nuggets of passing Jamb CBT handy with astounding grades; who are also willing to upgrade their Jamb scores.

SEE ALSO: uniprojectmaterials for helpful education articles

Upgrading your JAMB scores require a little more effort from you the candidate and some level of obedience too. So the following are some notable examination guides you need to make better grades in your JAMB examination this season.

Follow the instructions
For JAMB computer based test, there are series of instructions displayed on your computer screen once you sit for the exams. The first instruction on the screen is and I quote:-

“Read the following questions carefully before you choose your answers”

With the tension that the exam brings especially for first time Jambites, the possibilities of choosing the wrong answer for a very familiar question is there. Please read carefully

Follow prompts on the screen
On the screen, the allotted time you have to finish up your CBT is displayed; also displayed is the time left to finish-up your entire test.
There is also an option to omit a question that you are not very sure to answer correctly. In this case, a click on omit will skip that question for the next question.

There is also a prompt to change subject when you wish to do so. The navigation key takes you to your JAMB subject choices automatically.
So you have to master the prompts and know which one to click when necessary.

Arrive early to your JAMB examination center
One of the reasons students perform poorly at exams is poor punctuality habit. When you arrive late to your JAMB exam hall, you are thrown off-balance almost shaking and confused too. It takes you time to relax and start up. Recall that once your exam time starts, your time starts reading and you have to run with the little time you have left. I advise you to arrive your exam center early, start early, finish up early and take time and crosscheck your answers.
Education / Is It Right To Freestyle Undergraduate Research Materials? by uniprojectM: 12:04am On Mar 03, 2020
Research materials both new and old are meant to be explored; for good numbers of times that research are conducted, something a little different is added to effect some changes. The question of whether one can freestyle undergraduate research materials requires a careful response since it takes from the two sides of scheduled structure of presenting research materials and the freestyle.

Let’s look at what I mean in details

Normally, undergraduate research follows a strict stipulated structure for presenting research materials for undergraduates; such structure varies with institutions that issue it as well as the academic faculties and departments the research is ensuing from. Now following the laid down structures is compulsory since it provides leads for undergraduate researchers from the start to the finish of their research.

Nobody will choose your grammar for you while detailing your research materials from chapter to chapter, but consciously or unconsciously, and whether you like it or not, the stipulated structure for you research will have to shape whatever you are doing including your choice of words, the style of presenting issues etc. creating little or no space for the freestyle moments.

Undergraduate projects are organized as much as other forms of advanced research. Reason is this:- Any mistake made anywhere will have to reflect somewhere in the research material in figures or in words. For instance, the choices of the undergraduate project topic automatically influences whatever choice you make in your research methodology which is the project chapter three.

Again, the choice of research technique, sampling procedure, research population and the related research phrases will automatically detect what happens in the succeeding chapters.

After all these explanation, what comes to mind is if the place of free styling in research still holds water. The conclusion of the matter is that, following the stipulated structure laid for the research does or make room for freestyle in undergraduate research.
Undergraduate research is organized and formal and makes no room for favorites.
Education / Why Sex Education Has Become Really Necessary by uniprojectM: 4:52pm On Feb 18, 2020
Few days ago, it was reported that a teenage girl ripped her friend’s skin apart with a razor blade. Details of the incident narrated that the victim was accused to have snatched her friend’s boyfriend on Valentine’s Day. The other who sort justice, fought with her friend and made her bleed heavily with a bad razor cut on her chick and limbs. Mind you, these are teenagers who are meant to be under the guidance of their parents or guidance and shouldn’t be exposed yet to premarital relationships or rather should still be undergoing some sort of sex education. Unfortunately, one of them paid the price for their supposed ignorance.

See education project topics for research

Sex education is still very much needed in basic schools, secondary school students, in the streets and to undergraduates in the university. The fleeting medium of information lately has made a good number of us assume that no one can pretend to never have known about sex and its adverse effects on both male and their female counterparts. As the use of android phones, apple phones and other social applications embedded in them have increasingly become acceptable, it is assumed that uncensored information like nude videos and photos etc. will definitely spread real fast.

If we can assume that no young person can deny ever knowing anything about sex, it is also necessary to take up sex education in assumption.
How to preach sex education

If in assumption, young people as well as the old are into premarital sex and its associates, these measures can be taken to mitigate the issue.

• The use of contraceptive should be promoted in the social media platforms the same way these sex tapes and photos are being shared. This is to guide against unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.

• Health agencies should also promote the campaigns against indecent exposure of pubic and sensitive part of the body to avoid cases of rape especially among females

• It also very needful to preach abstinence especially to those who have not yet been exposed to sexual intercourse.

We cannot deny that a good number of researches have gone through to promote sex education and awareness, but more should be done from time to time in even shorter intervals for better outcome.
Education / Creative Ways To Discuss The Findings Of Undergraduate Project Topics by uniprojectM: 1:13pm On Dec 18, 2019
The purpose of the discussion of findings of undergraduate project topics is first, to interpret the statistical presentations of data in figures and tables; it also discusses the significance of the research findings relating it to the rationale of the research problem starting from the undergraduate project topics. The discussion of findings does justice to a research by connecting the research objectives, hypotheses and literature reviews with the intention of advancing the readers understanding with facts from the data.

Now that you know, what are creative ways to discuss the findings of an undergraduate project research without making it boring or difficult to digest?

Engage in critical reasoning
Creativity in writing the discussion of finding of an undergraduate project research can be achieved by engaging in deep and critical reasoning. When you discuss the statistical analysis of the research in this segment of your research, they call it table reading and it doesn’t speak well of you as a researcher. Your research discussion will be seen as lacking ideas plus the impression that you rely so much on the table reading for the discussion.

To bring in evidences of critical reasoning in your undergraduate project research, you must interpret, in simple terms, what the research outcome means to the man on the street, the government and development for the society out there.

Be concise
You want your discussion of finding to be lengthy but at the same time, you don’t want to bore your readers with long prose that has the critical claim buried somewhere in the centre or last lines of the discussion.

To be concise in this case is to state upfront your research findings as against your research objectives, that’s first. Secondly, interpret the meaning of your findings relating it to the literature you reviewed earlier in the research, matching their findings with yours and lasting, drawing your own resolution.
Education / The Second To Non Post Undergraduates Students Will Read About Academic Success by uniprojectM: 3:25am On Dec 11, 2019
It has never been the original expectation of parents, guidance or even undergraduate students themselves to perform poorly academically; the earnest expectation has always been to pursue academic success. But you see, even magic only materialize when instigated by human. Academic success, being every student’s dream doesn’t make it free for all, it’s like a price to be won not just by anyone else but the best.

This article is intended to keenly point out harsh sounding but honest secrets about academic success for undergraduate students who care enough to know. It most importantly points out the approach of knowledgeable students towards academic success. For some who are at the verge of choosing their undergraduate project topics for their final year research, it will interest you to know that your interest is covered in this article for the success of your undergraduate project research.

Harsh but honest secret about academic success

Academic success is self-pronounced
One wonderful impression about academic success is that it pronounces itself. When you see an undergraduate who is performing well in school, it will only take time to identify them from the crowd. No wonder bright students are always chosen to represent in competitions especially in writing, reading, spelling and oratory.

If this is so, then there must be something exceptional about successful undergraduate students. There is something they do that other students don’t do.

What is the approach of knowledgeable students towards academic success?

They are not afraid to fail
Successful students are marked by their determination to succeed academically; they are never afraid to try no matter the chances. Undergraduate project, as has stood the test of time poses some sort of test to daring students who show themselves remarkable in research.

They are ever ready to share knowledge
Again, successful students are always eager to share from their bank of knowledge; you can only share from what you have. One thing about knowledge is that the more you share, the more you learn and that principle continues till date. The idea of sharing from your research projects as undergraduates is what prompts the tertiary institutions to initiate the defense of undergraduate project topics and subsequent defense of the actual research after making findings.

They are also eager to learn more
Successful students care enough to know also that learning never stops; they also understand that what you know today may not hold the same tomorrow. So they are eager to learn more every other day.
Education / Researchers Considers Non-formal Education For Building Resilient Societies by uniprojectM: 11:09am On Dec 05, 2019
Exclusion from formal education makes one vulnerable to intellectual and rational ridicule; exclusion from the benefits of education is even worse. In other words, not being able to access formal education is quite understandable but the point of not still gaining from people who got the experience causes even more damage, research has confirmed. However, this notion has been neglected for so long and government, being a rare sponsor of such programmes (when it even holds), holds not much information about non-formal education and where it practically comes in to games.

Why is this gist very critical at this point.

Terrorism, war and violent zealotry are fueled by poor and uncensored kind of education particularly from a wrong offshoot; the violent zeal targets development focal points, education inclusive, bringing the society to a state of poverty and vulnerability to their own politics. When terrorism attacks happen, people are displaced from their homes, activities for livelihood, comfort, investments, acquaintances, familiar culture and lifestyles, language, food and basic education sometime to places they may consider bizarre and out of place for them.

Read also: Education project topics and research materials

These centers of attack are meanwhile pioneered chiefly by people who have been victimized by violent extremists resulting to such circumstances as poverty, hunger and subsequent vulnerability. The brainwashing into terrorism penetrates their naïve minds easily with mouth-watering promises keeping the blind-spot to themselves.

However, research has shown that promoting respect for diversity, peace and economic advancement, education can be a barrier against radicalization.

How is this going to work out? I ‘did love to share an idea

Immigrants majorly fall into the context of this discussion; they are left with fewer choices and are so easily lured in to fighting for whatever loss they have incurred. So they need trained teachers, counselors, and psychologists around them; many of which understands and communicates effectively. This measure can foster more tolerant attitudes among people who have violent tendencies.

But researchers have also discovered that 1 out of every 5 teachers anticipate and plan to solve inter cultural difference, language associated issues and psychological preferences; it doesn’t speak well at all. In 2013 precisely, teaching and learning international survey revealed that just 16% of
secondary education teachers in 34 education systems had taken intercultural education as well as multi-lingual education seriously, report says. However, this data has reportedly been blamed on lack of teaching materials as well as trained teachers.

So researchers they have finally resolved the fact that non-formal education is key to building a more resilient society instead of relying so much on formal education which tends to favour the rich and powerful.

What does this mean to the man on the streets?

Young boys who find their way to the closest football pitch everyday may not have a school to go to but they have the tactics to play; a football academy for the young will do a lot of good. What am I saying? grassroot skill sponsorship is a catch-them-young way of building a society no matter where they come from as long as they possess skill that will benefit the society.

Activities such as sports, dance, drama, arts, cultural festivals, carnivals etc. have a way of binding a society together irrespective of their cultural and religious difference. “It goes a long way to promote respect for diversity, peace, economic advancement and the fight against radicalization”.
Education / Where To Hire A Writer For Undergraduate Project Research by uniprojectM: 11:01pm On Nov 15, 2019
Writing an undergraduate project requires training and skill which is the reason undergraduate project students still get research procedures wrong even after going through so much training in school. Plus the fact that there is more to writing than fiction, you may have need to hire a writer for your project research especially if you aren’t good at writing.

You don’t just need a writer, you need hire a professional writer
A professional writer does non-fiction forms of writing like public speeches, mails, memos, proposals articles and projects. They have passed through professional drills to attain such portfolio; you won’t be making a mistake to hire one for your project if you can’t do well yourself.

Why you should hire a writer for your undergraduate project

You ‘did love to finish up in time
Time flies, You must write, finish and master your undergraduate project research within a time frame and to hire a writer who has all the time could be an option if you can’t beat time. You may be occupied with studying for exams and some other school activities which will cut down your attention towards your project research.

Idea development
You may equally not know how well to express and build on your ideas during your project research, but a professional writer does. They do not only build on your ideas, they elaborate it and make your project work lengthy and well vast in scope.

It’s there minefield
No one can best escape an obstacle than one whose minefield it is. If you are not a research guru, you will hardly know what research even requires not to mention the terms and sequence to undertake.

What qualities does a professional writer really possess
Professional writers are humans just like you and I who are masters in craft; they possess such alluring qualities as follows:-

Proficiency
They are tagged professional writers because they are good at it; if that is what they are good at then they are best to trust when it comes to writing your undergraduate project research.

Skillful
Professional writers understand the essence of structure, mechanical accuracy and techniques to apply or every form of writing.

Where can you hire a writer for your project research
You can hire a proficient writer for your undergraduate project research in reliable websites like projectclue, uniprojectmaterials , codemint, I can go on and on.

Like was mentioned earlier, it’s not enough to hire a writer, it is necessary to hire a professional writer and these websites can deliver reliably.
Education / How To Be Your Own Research Project Coach by uniprojectM: 12:37am On Oct 08, 2019
Undergraduate research is one of those projects that students undertake once in their academic pursuit. So if you are treated to the rudiments of undergraduate project writing, it may be a little challenging doing the project without mistakes. As a matter of concern, your only coach during the project is your project instructor or supervisor which is assigned to you as soon as your research project topic is approved. Consequentially, you have had little or no practical guide to what you are going to face.

While all the help and assistance you may need will not always be at your beck and call, I am privileged to guide on how to be your own project coach.

The entire guide ‘am meant to give you here is wrapped in one phrase – draft a project development plan.

See sample of undergraduate research materials

First, what does your research project intend to achieve:
Remember it’s research project plan, it must have an objective, no matter how technical it is.

Specifically identify the areas you will perform best:
‘Am sure you choose your topic because you found interest in it; if so identify the areas you will shine better, device and state the means to achieving them.

Also identify the areas you need help
You will certainly need help, but as your own coach, you have to identify it yourself and proceed to beat that.

Research on what has worked for others
You are certainly one of the many who have found themselves in this same web; simply conduct a research on how the previous researchers resolved the similar issues.

Check if it can work for you
For the sake of accuracy, you really need to check how well your finding compliments your project research. It is possible you find something similar that applies differently, you have to watch out for that.

If it doesn’t, continue in research
Keep searching till you find one, only a handful of research topics are entirely new, others are rehash of what has already been on ground.

Start writing
Now that you are finally done on the drawing board, you just to start writing your research project. Hope you took time to see the samples of research materials available via the link above
Business / Humans May Never Get Enough Of E-banking by uniprojectM: 2:27pm On Sep 24, 2019
Humans my never have enough of e-banking as long as they keep filling forms and supplying their personal data when they need to register with an android platform or apply for assistance from websites and android applications online. Funny enough, there is no point turning back since they have just what you want. The banking sector is one of those necessary institutions that cannot function actively without having current information and data of their host (their clients).

I came across a group of economics project topics, one of which talks about e-banking and customer satisfaction. Now e-banking is a sweet-side banking that is convenient, easy, and relatively cheap plus stress-free. If you are not told, the banks depends on you the client, your demographics and psychographics to meet your needs.

Basically, the relationship that exit between the IT industry, their affiliates such as banks, (especially those who work with big data) and their clients is symbiotic in nature. Unfortunately, many of us outside the IT world hardly know what’s going on. Here is a little explanation; when you fill forms either as electronic forms or manually, it is for a purpose basically to fix an issue you may have encountered in the course of banking with them. When such complains keeps coming from different people, the bank would like to improve their method of services so they can get a relief and at the same time give you the satisfaction you desire.

For this to happen, they may not only rely on the information they have about you as it may not be enough, they get some from other reliable and trusted hands to do so. When that happens, they categorize their clients’ possible need following certain principles and algorithms. Interestingly, they can easily predict the services you wished they can provide and before you know it, you’re already craving to have it.

Like I have said earlier, you and I may never get tired of e-banking; I can’t remember the last time I visited a banking hall but do I get money into my bank account? Yes. Do I send money across to people? Yes. Do I withdraw and use cash? Yes. Will I subscribe to any of the subsequent innovations that may be introduced in the future? Why not; as long as it affords the comfort and satisfaction that I need.

This is just one of the thousand reasons why we can’t get enough of their services.
Education / Understanding Research Design And Its Relevance To Your Project Topic by uniprojectM: 12:17am On Aug 12, 2019
Just for your information, undergraduate project is a deliberate, planned and detailed study which seeks to find solution to a specific problem (i.e. undergraduate project topic) using tools, instruments and stipulated principles. So already, every undergraduate research no matter what area of study has a design that researchers (students) must follow to arrive at a considerable conclusion.

This is how the process works

• Identify the problem you want to research or the solution you ‘did like to introduce

• Follow principles and theories guiding such topic or area of study

• Figure out salient points, with references, to back-up your argument

• Present a statistical analysis and interpretation

• Present a feasible proof.

Actually, a couple or more steps are grouped into each of the five listed processes above. Meanwhile research design is basically meant to help undergraduate project students with guideline on how to present their research paper from project topic, abstract, table of content, introduction to conclusion and references. Undergraduate research is done once in one academic period for one certificate per time. This means that you probably may not know about research presentation procedure until it gets to your turn.

Here is a quick run-down of a universal undergraduate research design

• Undergraduate project topic

• Background to the study / Introduction

• Statement of problem

• Objective of the study

• Research question

• Theoretical framework

• Review of related literature

• Population (sample size and sampling procedure)

• Research technique (methodology, instrument for data gathering)

• Data analysis and presentation

• Discussion of findings

• Summary

• Conclusion

• Recommendations

• References /Bibliography / citation

This is likely a universal model for a typical undergraduate research design; there may be few variations anyway based on certain factors like the academic fields of study, the purpose of the research (to find solution, to figure out the problem or to study events and their occurrences) or even the project topic itself; these factors may introduce new clauses into the frame or substitute some of it.
Education / Review Of The Impact Of Electronic Banking On Customer Satisfaction by uniprojectM: 10:58pm On Aug 04, 2019
Electronic banking was adopted as a better remedy to the uncontrollable long queues in banking halls and maintain a better banking experience for customers and staff alike; but what we didn’t realize early enough was that electronic banking has its limitations too. Am going to do a short review on this undergraduate project (the impact of electronic banking on customer satisfaction) written by a banking and finance undergraduate recently. Although this is a familiar topic but I bet you, a lot was said in here. I will let you have full access to the main project material down the page after the review.

This project has rightly described electronic banking as a delicious meal prepared and served hot; yes because bank customers can operate from home, do their financial transactions electronically, track their daily transactions with details in real time.

This researcher pointed out specs of innovations where the banking has continually adopted over the years; such that has become very feasible in the competitive advantage of several financial institutions, data driven innovations and radical marketing strategies at their disposal. I quite agree with this notion because lately, we have some of such data driven innovations corresponding very closely with our needs which we didn’t communicate with them directly; I hope that makes sense. When you fill some forms in the bank requesting your personal information, some of these data are gathered over time and used to match your psychological, demographic and psychographics needs and with time, you have the services, products and programmes you need at your disposal.

The researcher didn’t forget to point out the level of efficiency electronic banking affords at such a low cost. Data are easily matched and sorted out without needing to keep piles of unprecedented files that can get blown away at the break of fire. As such, the quality of service with electronic banking is simply remarkable.

On the other hand however, mechanical issues that still require human intervention shows the limit that electronic banking can go to meet or banking needs. From this undergraduate project, cyber security is not guaranteed since a lot of customers enter their data with ignorance, agreeing to all sorts of unread terms that could pose danger to their finances.

I should have also mentioned the cases of credit/debit card trapping and network breakdown put customers back to the much stress they try to run away from.

Education / How To Use Content Analysis In Research Data by uniprojectM: 11:33am On Jul 29, 2019
Content analysis as we know it was used by social scientists to understand pattern of communication in organization and ofcourse in human behavior and relationship. Lately however, it has been adopted by other fields of human endeavor to meet the same communication pattern need, especially since it was found useful to match the influence of communication messages on those who receive it. Content analysis requires studying information in documents, written communications such as news, memos, letters, and graphics such as pictures, video and audio.

As much as most people may not really say straight up the research method to be applied in an undergraduate project topic by mere seeing it, you may not find it difficult to detect content analysis project topic due to the distinctive nature of its variables.

Follow these procedures in your research methodology to apply content analysis in your research

In the Sample size and procedure;
Indicate the population you want to study and the sample size. Secondly, state clearly the date, month and year(s) you want to study plus the type of document your project topic suggests you want to study.

Content categories;
Ensure you state the categories of the document you want to study. For instance if you are doing a study on maternal health, you may consider such content categories as infant mortality, maternal morbidity, prenatal infection, obstructed labour, breastfeeding etc. These categories will guide what you will look out for in your content data gathering.

Unit of analysis
Here, you will state the pattern of communication that carries these content categories eg. News, pictures, videos, documents, letter to editor, editorial etc.

Intercoder reliability

This is a statistical stage in content analysis where you calculate the reliability of the two coding sheets you and your coding partner used in your content research. You will calculate

• Number of coding decisions on which the two coders agree

• Total number of coding decision by first coder

• Total number of coding decisions by second coder

Data analysis and presentation

Data is presented in scores, percentages and frequency and tables.
Education / How To Deal With Nervousness And Panic During Examination by uniprojectM: 5:08pm On Jul 24, 2019
Nervousness and panic are not serious health cases but are capable of threatening your mental capabilities; it’s a genetic or behavioral tendency that has a direct influence on your psychology whenever it happens to you. As a student you may have experienced panic and that nervousness especially during examination, an unannounced test, impromptu public speech, defending your undergraduate project topic, answering a question you didn’t prepare for in class or when participating in an inter-school debate. One of these sessions would have challenged your intellect especially if you didn’t prepare for it.

If you don’t mind, I ’did like to sample your mind on possible causes of anxiety and panic in a typical academic setting; maybe we could trace the how to deal with it from there.

• When a question is thrown at you unexpectedly and you don’t even have a clue of what the answer could be.

• When the examination paper is passed to you could hardly answer the first question; it could make your mind totally blank

• When you are sure you haven’t read or prepared enough for the examination

• When a teacher calls you out to explain a thought you never knew about

• When you still have more pages to revise and time is up for the next paper

• When you suppose everyone in class is prepared and look confident except you

• When no bright colleague wants to seat by you knowing how poor you are intellectually

• When you are the next person to defend your project topic or even the project itself

• When your result is finally out

• When you ask someone to check your result for you

So how do you deal with nervousness and panic in such cases?

• Prepare for every class especially if you have a copy of the course outline

• Approach exam questions with optimism even when you don’t seem to know the answer; somewhere along the line, you could get a hint that will put you through. Secondly don’t fight to start with the first, start with the best question.

• Start to study early and prepare well and try not to look back at what is remaining; you may have a heart attack

• The expression on your mates’ faces could be deceitful, some of them are as fearful as you; try to be self-confident and relaxed

• Try knowing the sort of questions they asked those who already defended; you could find answers to those question before it’s your turn

• Check your result yourself so that you won’t finally breakdown if it’s a bad news

Education / What Are The Most Important Skills For A Strong Tech Lead? by uniprojectM: 3:28pm On Jul 16, 2019
Being a tech lead is nothing short of a perfect combination of entrepreneurship and business administration; they both go well but not without the right skills. Being a tech lead is more demanding because you have to be good at your career and the business side of it to make the most of it. Giving focus to your career curve as tech person and neglecting the business aspect of it makes you an idler and nothing less.
While there are skills you should possess as a tech lead, there are some you must not do without and they include;

Administration skills
Administration requires overseeing the affairs of your business without necessarily doing them in person. A tech business is just like every other business but without marketing, it will hardly payoff. You must understand and know the routines in project management, personnel or human resources management, marketing communications, financial management, task supervision and the entire daily operations of the business to attain your business goals.

Team spirit
A team lead should incite team spirit by habit or by practice; with the understanding that the organizational chain is not complete without one and also devising means to improvise is a good start. You should educate your team about efficiency and working smart, maybe they will understand how the team spirit is brought to bear.

Be good at what you do
You will certainly earn that respect you deserve as a team lead if you are good at what you direct them to do. Although it happens some times that you may not agree with your team members but being visionary makes them trust your judgment for good.
Most times, team leads do not know it all but they know a little bit about everything they do and that’s the practicable aspect of team lead.

Education / What Are Common Issues Surrounding Undergraduate Studentship by uniprojectM: 4:58pm On Jul 08, 2019
It has never been easy to say that all is entirely well as a student; even when some can gladly say that, some others can’t just say so ‘cause being a student means different things to both parties. Undergraduates face not one, not two issues in school, if not connected to finance, it could be intellectual or even more.

Most times, the process of choosing an undergraduate project topic and the period of doing the actual project is considered the toughest moment for undergraduates. But I don’t think so; let me take this moment to point out very common issues students face, you will agree with me when am done.

Varying knowledge testing preferences
Whereas students would prefer to be tested on what they know how to do best, the normal undergraduate system would want every student in the same academic level to be tested on the same thing irrespective of their knowledge capacity. This is really a tough time for such students; you see, some do better when tested orally than when written, for some, writing, some drawing, some exhibition, some implementation and project based learning, some corporative learning. Dividing the undergraduate school system into faculties and departments has not helped this menace up to 30%.

Unequal IQ
The learning process for all students infact everyone else is different; yes we all understand that but who has bailed the cat since we all knew? Some students grasp faster and retain longer than some others who are slow in learning or have low retention span; some can’t even keep their attention for too long. These individual differences constitute challenging issues for undergraduate students.

Financial constraints
It might interest you to know that 30% of undergraduate students pay their tuition themselves and it happens sometimes that they would have to suspend studies for a while to go make some more money to further their education. This is a major setback both in the academic and administrative terrain as lectures will struggle to manage the class number which apparently would have out-numbered or do I still have to mention the administrative huddles these students need to take before successfully suspending studies a while.

Other issues students may face may include low availability of teaching and learning facilities, lack of trained teachers- (being a lecturer or professor doesn’t make you a trained teacher) low availability of teaching and learning facilities, little or no flare for discipline of study and even more.
Education / Does Everyone Have To Be An Entrepreneur? I Just Don’t Think So. by uniprojectM: 11:01am On Jul 01, 2019
From the way things are going, entrepreneurship seems like the only way forward coupled with this new orientation of remote working and financial independence; just a few cents consider working for someone or even manage a business for another. So here is my question; does everyone have to be an entrepreneur? Entrepreneurship has its fads of skills and so does business management.

Sincerely I was challenged to do a little study of business management skills and that of entrepreneurs and have come to realize that many businesses rise and fall because of poor management skills. Infact entrepreneurs, especially startups, have not learnt to separate themselves from the business and that’s the beginning of failure in business. Knowing that you cannot manage a business successfully, I advise we have business manager and entrepreneurs side by side for better business growth; and if you care so much to know about some business management skills, the following should be at your fingertips;

Experience
Business managers command skillful experience in various business fields of endeavor; this is what they are trained to do. They understand the strategy that works and when. Some smart entrepreneurs who have groomed their business to an impressive level have gone back to school for an MBM or atleast a degree; the issue of separating self from business seems easy to understand but difficult to implement.

Guile
Business managers are strategic and skillful in their operations; there is no dull moment. From making decisions to planning and execution, business managers are vigilant enough to protect the business from damages and financial breakdown.

Continued education/training
Most times in business management, barging degree and master degree isn’t just enough to make you an expert in the field. It is necessary you undergo professional training, attend workshops from time to time, go for field trips, conferences and be open to new trends.

This is the actual reason a typical entrepreneur may likely not manage a business successfully; he can’t possibly divide himself to doing these things at a time. Infact an entrepreneur will rather find it useful to connect with his fellows in the same industry or one that complements it than connecting with business managers.

There is need for focus in business; this is to entrepreneurs and managers alike. Allow yourself to be grounded in one and trust me you will do well.
Education / How Tech Has Redefined Undergraduate Project Research by uniprojectM: 6:16pm On Jun 20, 2019
There has never been a good time for undergraduate project research than this era of modern technology as it has influenced how students are taught, the learning process, study pattern, research procedures and ofcourse undergraduate project research in extension. Technology has redefines sensitive aspect of the education sector and no one knows what is next in stock.

Talking about undergraduate project research now, technology has redefined how it is done; certainly, as new technologies emerge, the society and everything that influences it tilt forward to flow with the new cycle. To this point, it has not just influenced teaching and learning processes, it also redefined how resource materials are retrieved, stored, recycled and beneficial financially. Maybe we should talk discuss it individually right?

Research
Long gone are the days of sitting in the library for God-knows-how-long, flipping through pages of papers and probably end up with nothing meaningful. That doesn’t mean that search engines are taking over physical libraries totally, it’s just that it has diversified and as such modified how and where undergraduate students search out resource materials for their undergraduate project.

Storage and retrieval
There has never been a better and safer place to store students’ undergraduate project. What was obtainable was piling up projects and burning them after few years or months atleast. Google drive is available for saving digital projects, email too, cloud, flash drive and other advanced saving devices. The sweet part is that it is durable and portable no matter how many.

Recycling
Because research projects is now durable, it can be recycled; how? Well, if I may ask, what exactly do you do when you search for undergraduate projects and research materials online? If these resource materials are not recycled, you wouldn’t have them there; maybe you would be cuing up in your lecturer’s office by now, begging to have your project fixed.

Without mincing words, technology has been the change that education has become and I suppose that more is yet to come.
Education / 5 Key Things To Know Before Writing An Undergraduate Project by uniprojectM: 11:14am On Jun 18, 2019
Writing Undergraduate projects is not as casual as some other forms of calligraphy; you must be knowledgeable and infact educated on certain things if you must get it right. Little wonders why tertiary institutions attach each project student to an instructor or supervisor; they understand too well that you need help throughout your research. That notwithstanding, there are key things you definitely need to know before writing an undergraduate project; it will be of great help if you note the following;

You must have an undergraduate project topic
You must graduate through the process of choosing an undergraduate project topic to research on before you can proceed to do a project in final year. Sometimes, the project topic you choose determines to a large extent the project supervisor that is assigned to you. In other words ‘am saying that your undergraduate project topic influences a lot of things throughout your final year research.

You must have an objective
Every undergraduate project and indeed every research, must have an objective; one that is specific and detailed. The objectives of an undergraduate research guides the method of data gathering, the data analysis and presentation processes.

You will need resources
Try not to limit your mind to the financial aspect of research resources; you need more than financial resources. Human resources will be involved including your supervisor, friends, colleagues, and your research population; material resources are indispensable including library research, observation, interview, experiments, survey etc.; and ofcourse financial resources.

You need a supervisor/instructor
Like mentioned earlier, it is doubtful you successfully finish an undergraduate project without an instructor or supervisor. Truth is, they help observe or notice your mistakes, guide you with approved yardsticks and help with resource materials if need be.

Not all projects must be defended
By this I mean that not all academic discipline require their students to defend their projects, sometimes they may be required to implement it like computer science students and engineering students do. While in some, they will only write their projects under the supervision of their instructors after which they submit it to their faculty or department without defending it.
Education / Where To Hire A Writer For Undergraduate Projects by uniprojectM: 12:13pm On Jun 10, 2019
It is never a bad idea to turn to freelance writers for help when you need them to do your resume, advertisement brief, your business plan, proposal and the likes but you have to meet the right people if you must get the best. Same way, when you need help in your undergraduate project writing, you should hire a writer who is capable of giving you the best.

Anyone can write anything but it’s not everything that everyone can write. When it comes to undergraduate papers, you must be guided with basic information of which those who are ignorant may not take into account.

What will happen if you hire a writer that is grounded in undergraduate project writing?

• Your undergraduate project is sure to be well written following stipulated guidelines which you will provide from the introduction, to the conclusion, references, citation, acknowledgement etc. as the case may be.

• Vet your work; even after writing, the writer will have to edit your work and continue with the next chapter after approval.

• Vetting your work isn’t just enough; it has to be sent to you for a cross-check. It’s not always advisable for the same writer to edit a written copy alone that’s why it’s necessary you have your place in editing your project.

• After that, you must send it back to the hired writer to fix the changes if need be. Sometimes each chapter is edited one after the other so that when you are done with one, you send it back to the writer to continue with the new chapter.

• The entire process is accompanied with detailed finishing which includes type setting, font size, font type, line spacing, page numbering etc.

Where can you hire a writer then?
There are many online platforms where you can hire a writer but for undergraduate projects, project websites like
uniprojectmaterials.com is grounded. Writing your project is the least of what they offer; what you get is what you ask for or even more if need be.
