Say no to University or Polytechnic carryover

“Carryover” is a major problem University or Polytechnic students

face either in their main or borrowed course. This is a difficulty that has to be dealt with because it can deprive a student from graduating from an Institution successfully.  Such a set back is one thing a student needs to avert.

Before going to the University, Polytechnic or any other higher Institution, your parents might have worked very hard, borrowed from

  friends and relatives just to make sure you have got all you needed to be there. The least you can do in appreciation is coming back home in your NYSC uniform, with your shoulders above your head portraying a logo written in your fore head “I have made it.” Before that happens something must be done, as you well know that success does not come easily. Anyone who believes success comes easily is yet to wake up from his day dream.

                               HOW CAN I SAY NO TO CARRYOVER?

                                           CAUSES OF CARRYOVER

 There are so many factors that cause this educational barrier, but we will discuss the more important ones in this article.

•  Paying little or no attention to borrowed courses: Entertaining the thoughts that borrowed courses are not essential, and as a result you should give little or no attention to them is detrimental to the education of every student especially those in University and polytechnic. Consider an example of a University student studying medicine and hopes to become a medical doctor someday. Now, while in school he was told to study mathematics a subject not related to his area, as a borrowed course. This student chose to pay no attention to this subject, knowing that it has no effect in his career of becoming a medical doctor. Little did he know that failing mathematics will rob him of his chance of graduating successfully. But then, he wrote his final examinations, made all his papers except mathematics, unfortunately for him, he spent extra three (3) years after his final year, in order to clear mathematics before successfully graduating. The lesson from the above example is a fact you must keep close in mind, to avoid repeating the mistake of that University student.

•   Forming the habit of sorting (paying money or any other valuable thing to lecturers before or after examinations) just to get good grades: It is true that lecturers demand money from students, threatening to mark them down if they fail to comply. Out of fear so many student succumb to this threat and develop the habit of sorting in all examinations to prevent carry over. The bitter truth is that those lecturers will never upgrade your score even after paying huge amount of money to them. Not only that, when they have noticed your habit of sorting, when ever you fail to pay in any examination, the best they give to you is carryover, irrespective of your effort to study and pen something down. So you see…. It does more harm than good to “sort” as you will someday run out of cash.

•     Laziness and stubbornness: This two attributes are deadly, when possessed by anyone irrespective of who you are. However, who are lazy and stubborn students? They are those students who do not study for examinations, those who fail to obey instructions and those who refuse to do assignments because of one reason or the other.
