COPING WITH FIRST YEAR IN THE UNIVERSITY

For many first-year Students also know as Freshers, the University may be their first experience living away from home for an extended period of time. It is a definite break from home. The individual's usual sources of support are no longer present to facilitate adjustment to the unfamiliar environment. Here are tips for students which may provide realistic expectations concerning living arrangements and social life on campus.

* The first few weeks on campus can be a lonely period. There may be concerns about making friends. When new students look around, it may seem that everyone else is self-confident and socially successful. The reality is that everyone is having the same concerns but staying or visiting friends you knew from home on campus may be very helpful in this time of loneness until you are able to make good friends around your hostel according to Samuel Ogaga Egbo, a graduate from the Institute of Science Laboratory Technology, Delta State University, Abraka.

* If they allow sufficient time, students usually find peers in the university to provide structure and a valuable support system in the new environment. The important thing for the new student to remember in meeting new people is to be oneself, without Pride, just being natural as if you are at home, However students should avoid parasitic mode of friendship; fellow students or course mates who incessantly ask for favours in form of money or food as friendship should be mutual.

* Meaningful, new relationships should not be expected to develop overnight. It took a great deal of time to develop intimacy in high school friendships; the same will be true of intimacy in university friendships.
* Increased personal freedom can feel both wonderful and frightening. New Students/Freshers can come and go as they choose with no one to "hassle" them. At the same time, things are no longer predictable. The strange environment with new kinds of procedures and new people can create the sense of being on an emotional roller-coaster. This is normal and to be expected.

* Living with roommates can present special, sometimes intense, problems. Negotiating respect of personal property, personal space, sleep, and relaxation needs can be a complex task. The complexity increases when a roommate is older than you as a fresher or as been in the university before you as the fresher, when roommates are of different ethnic/cultural backgrounds with very different values but communicating one's legitimate needs calmly, listening with respect to a roommate's concerns, and being willing to compromise to meet each other's most important needs can promote resolution of issues.

* It is unrealistic to expect that roommates will be best friends. Roommates may work out mutually satisfying living arrangements, but the reality is that each may tend to have his or her own circle of friends and when this happens, you as a fresher should try as much as possible to be acquainted to your roommates friends but maintaining your morals and integrity inculcated into from home.

* University classes are a great deal more difficult than secondary school class. There are more reading assignments, and the exams and papers cover a greater amount of material. Lecturers expect students to do more work outside the classroom. In order to survive, the student must take responsibility for his or her actions. This means the student needs to follow the course outlines and keep us with the readings. The student must do the initiating. If a class is missed, it is up to the student to borrow lecture notes from someone who was present. If the student is having difficulty with course work, he or she needs to ask for help for his/her predecessors--ask to do extra work, request an appointment with an academic advisor, or sign up for tutoring or other academic-skills training.

*A new student/fresher must be focused and always remember the reason why he/she is in the campus, never to forget where he/she is from (family background) and keep in mind the goal he/she has set. Every human is born with the potentials to succeed irrespective of where he/she came from  –Tope A.  Banjo.

*A New student/Fresher finding it hard to cope with his/her new environment two weeks before the first semester examination is advised to seek the services of a counselor in the Counseling Services office of their respective institutions.

HOW TO CALCULATE GPA AND CGPA

WHAT IS THIS GUIDE ABOUT?
This guide is written to assist university or college students to understand more about the grading system at tertiary education level. Students are often trapped under the pretense that once they've failed, their grades can never go up again. This is fairly untrue in most of the cases, however it is important to note that not all tertiary education system follows the same CGPA system. What I have tabled out below are applicable to local Universities and most UK based universities.

WHAT IS CGPA?

Ultimately, CGPA is where everything boils down to in your studies. It stands for CUMULATIVE GRADE POINT AVERAGE, hence CGPA, which is an accumulation of all your grade points divided to every single credit your take. CGPA is also the determining factor of whether you get to graduate with 1st class, 2nd class upper, 2nd class lower or 3rd class. However, the minimum point for each class differs from university to university. for example classifies 1st class as 3.70 and above and 2nd class upper from 3.00 to 3.69

WHAT IS CALCULATED?
CGPA is calculated based on all subjects that you take,  each subjects usually comes with a credit value,  some less important subjects carry between 1 to 2 credits or units, more important ones carry 3 to 4, as seen in department courses, also, there are subjects categorized as "compulsory attendance only" which usually carry 0 credits. These subjects hold no value, but failing it (due to poor attendance or whatever) will still hold u down from graduating successfully. (not seen in Nigeria Universities)

HOW IS CGPA CALCULATED?
For each subject that you've successfully taken, a grade will be issued after the final examination; these grades each carry a specific point value. Typically, A carries 4.00, B carries 3.00 and C carries 2.00. Each of these points will be calculated based on the credit rating of each subject, and later summed up to give u your GPA for that particular semester. for example:
semester 1
subject P (6 credits): B = 3.00
subject N (2 credits): A = 4.00
subject O (3 credits): C = 2.00

(6 x 3.00) + (2 x 4.00) + (3 x 2.00) = 32 total grade point for 11 credits. Hence, your GPA for semester 1 is:
32 / 11 = 2.91 GPA for semester 1. Since this is your first semester, your GPA is also your CGPA.

semester 2
subject P (6 credits): A = 4.00
subject Q (3 credits): B = 3.00
subject R (3 credits): E = 0.00 (FAIL)
subject S (2 credits): B = 3.00

(6 x 4.00) + (3 x 3.00) + (3 x 0.00) + (2 x 3.00) = 39 total grade point for 14 credits. hence your GPA for semester 2 is:
39 / 14 = 2.79 GPA for sem 2

Now that this is your second semester, your CGPA will be calculated by combining the two,  however, a direct average is wrong. CGPA is calculated NOT based on the average of GPAs per semester, but based on grade points per credit that u take. To calculate your CGPA based on the two semesters above:

[(total grade point for semester 1) + (total grade point for semester 2)] / total credit taken in all semesters

[(32) + (39)] / (11 + 14) = 2.84 CGPA
now, let's try the next semester where u retake the failed subject:

semester 3
subject R (3 credits): A = 4.00 (REPEATED SUBJECT)
subject T (3 credits): B = 3.00
subject U (3 credits): B = 3.00
subject V (3 credits): B = 3.00

(3 x 4.00) + (3 x 3.00) + (3 x 3.00) + (3 x 3.00) = 39 total grade point for 12 credits. hence your GPA for semester 3 is:
39 / 12 = 3.25 GPA.

Now, how do you calculate your CGPA when u have a repeated subject? here's the main rule: u recalculate the repeated subject by replacing the old grade with the new one, it means, in your CGPA calculation, u never failed your subject R, u actually scored A! let’s see what it looks like:

[(grade points for sem 1) + (grade points for sem 2 excluding the failed subject) + (grade points for sem 3)] / [(credit for sem 1) + (credit for sem 2 excluding the failed subject) + (credit for sem 3)]
[(32) + (39 - 0) + (39)] / [(11) + (14 - 3) + (12)] = 110 / 34 = 3.24 CGPA!

A lot of students made the mistake of including the failed subject into the calculation despite having repeated it. here's what the wrong calculation usually looks like:

IMPLICATION
wrong calculations would lead to students being afraid to fail, simply becouse the impression that failed subjects would drag the CGPA even further down. This is wrong, repeating the failed subject replaces the old grades. In your CGPA, it is as if you've never failed before. Most students would simply accept a C- or D+, which is usually the minimum passing rate, in hope that they don’t have to ever repeat the subject, and hopefully score more subjects in time. Thing is, once you've got a D+/C-, it's very hard to catch up and drag your pointers up. I strongly advise students who ultimately concerned for their grades to DARE to fail and repeat it again. Of course, certain subjects are big enough that repeating means u have to extend another semester. Well, if it means graduating between a 2nd class lower and a 2nd class upper, why not?
good luck!
