It is true but sometimes it is obvious that some marker delibrately mark you down all in the name of victimising the student.

psychologist term this the attribution theory..... the situational attribution and dispositional attribution..... which says we tend to attrributes positive outcome to oneself and negative as regards d environment

MadCow1:
UNIBEN students no dey get sense normally.


The only course a UNIBEN student gets an A in is Animal Husbandry..

e be like say hall 4 heat don de worry you small small

Behira:
Looool......but dats because somtymz wen u examine the answers u wrote dwn on the failed cos, u wud notice dat u definately did not fail that course.

Na you be the examiner

Dolypson04:
When we , we proudly claim the glory but when things do not come the way we wanted it, we shift the blame.
I asked a colleague about her result just the week, she told me it was fine. I asked for a particular course we all dreaded and she proudly said " I had A in it". I requested for another course and she replied; " They gave me 32 (F). In my subconscious state, I asked, "Who gave you"?.
The statement is very common in our secondary and tertiary institutions. By the way, why do we always "HAVE" A while they always "GIVE" us F?

funny and true. nobody wants to be labelled a failure, that is y people often shift blames for their failure

OP ARE YOU A MONITORING SPIRIT?

Hahaha no one works to fail,so it's either he harvested an A or the devil forced a F on him

kaycodes:
It's simple really.
Students don't take responsibility for their performance or studies anymore.

After leaving the university with a 3rd Class, I had to sit down and tell myself the truth.
Yes I had never been a dull student
Yes I had an excellent track record at primary and secondary school

I went back and saw why and how I failed, I knew where I made mistakes...
Moving forward I made adjustments, today I work with an international organisation, and I never had to present my degree

If you can't track why you failed, how will you ever become successful?

I'm searching for inspiration kinda.

So what did you discover made you fail and how did you tackle it

These little girl might make a good scientist

Thanks.

I have never failed as a university student.

Good question.

Two factors actually.

1. Immaturity: Yea, this was a major blunder on my part, I got into the university at 19, at a time where the average age for gaining ission was between 20 - 24. I felt it was still like the secondary school system where I could just listen to my teachers and grab everything they said, then read a few days to the exams and with flying colours. Out here it was a different ball game entirely. Lecturers won't come to class, and when they eventually did, some couldn't even their message accross properly, yes, that's the system of education in most Nigerian schools. I was not prepared for this method of learning, I needed to adjust very fast, but I couldn't. Long hours of reading was never my thing, so it was a struggle in my first 2 years. Again I never understood the trick behind using past questions to study, I never did even when preparing for WAEC/NECO I just followed the syllabus or class notes. At university level, you can actually study just past questions and come out with good grades, sad but true.

2. Wrong Course: Maybe just maybe if I had done computer science instead of mechanical engineering, my ion would have driven me beyond my abilities, but alas, I was in mechanical engineering because I wanted to work for an oil company. Well that ain't happening any time soon, and besides I would rather work for Microsoft than Chevron any day.

What I did
I changed my mindset about the system. The system was not made for me... I needed to adjust to the system, I started learning how things really worked, past questions became my new textbooks, and even if nothing changed, at least my result actually changed. year 3 4 5 was enough to give me a 2.1, but with a terrible 100level, and not too good 200level, 3rd Class was the only thing I could manage out. With plenty of Abeg. At this point I just wanted out of the system, I really didn't care what I came out with. I had 2 extra years, yes, 2 extra years.

When I graduated, I did a lot of self motivation, because if you hear the way companies carry on about 2.1, you would think that it was the end of the world to achieve that feat.
Most of my family friends quickly used that as a criteria not to offer help, but I ignored them altogether.
At this point I realised that only God can help me if I really wanted to live my dreams. I started by defining what I wanted to do, already I knew I had a ion for computers, so that will be my ticket out... I learnt everything I could on Windows, within a short while I could troubleshoot hardware and software issues like a pro. I used professional simulators to learn as fast as I could, yet no onw would hire me as a computer engineer because I didnt have certs, well, I wanted to get them but the money was not there. Anyway I continued doing what I love while managing a job by the side.
Now if you see my CV, you won't believe that I had a 3rd Class.

Thanks to God's divine favour, I saw a job that needed my computer skills with a reputable software organisation, I applied, went through personality tests, instead of the 2.1 screening criteria that our lazy Nigerian HR and companies are used to. I ed, today I get paid in USD.

So simply put, take responsibilities for your failure, and you'll find a way out. I could have blamed my lecturers, blamed the system, or even blamed my parents for not being able to afford the kind of schools I was used to at secondary level, but I realised early enough that success is a choice, failure is also a choice.

Finally always that failure is usually a catalyst to become better if you choose to see it that way. Find what you love to do, and follow it with all your heart.. it will open more doors for you that any Grade can and ever will.

Got to get back to work. Hope you got the inspiration you need.

Simple reason; nobody identifies with failure. That's it

Because everybody claim success and reject failure.

Psychologically it is called theory of ATTRIBUTION.


People tends to find reasons achievement and failure.

Success brings Pride while Failure brings Shame. Since nobody wants shame it is hanged or tied to others.


God bless Nigeria and Nigerians.
