*REMINDER TO ALL NOUNITES*
*You are hereby reminded that a new semester will begin on 3rd of September, 2018.*
*Apparently, in other for us to get the best out of the few months we have before exams, some necessary things should be done or procedures followed as I am about to analyse.*
*Having said that we only have short period of time to cover the course materials (maximum of 24/25 units), solve and submit TMA, and finally prepare to take the exams.*
*Some of the important things that are expected of a student willing to be outstanding or increase his or her low GPA next semester include these:*
1. *Goal Setting*
*Set a goal for your academic career (if you are yet to do so)
*Set a realisable goal for the new semester following the adjusted Academic Calendar eg attaining a GPA of 3.5-4.5 or scoring up to 7 A.
2. *Downloading of PDF course materials from one of the official NOUN webiste www.nouedu.net/courseware*
*Don't just keep the Course Guides on your phone on successful download, read, assimilate, relate and review
*Request your course mates to share any course materials or useful items they possess with you if you are a very busy type (like Bright)
*Ensure you use the appropriate reading or study methods (you may refer to GST101 Course Material for more on "Learning and Comprehension)
*Those materials you read in the past will/are still useful to refresh your memory so don't give them out charitably in the absence of deep thought
3. *Tutor Marked Assessment (TMA)*
Undoubtedly, many of NOUN students make use of solved PDF while submitting which has two "side effects" I am not gonna reveal now
*Please permit me to skip the aspect of TMA at the moment
4. *Prepare sufficient money for payment of school fees*
*I hope you are aware that having a minus (-) sign preceding your wallet balance disqualifies a student from graduating?
*So, make sure you fund your wallet with the fixed or right amount the bursar told you to pay
*Consult your study centre Bursar/me for info on the amount of money to be funded that will be sufficient to cover registration/payment of the following
A. *Courses Registration*
B. *Exam Registration*
C. *Compulsory Fee*
*Fund your wallet only at a NOUN participating bank, fortunately almost all bank accepts remita payment.
5. *Exams and Revision*
*(Sighs) Matters arising on Exams will be dealt with months before EXAM personally if need be*
