After Computer-Based Examinations for the General Studies Programme Courses
First Semester, 2015/2016 Session: Report and Explanations
Introduction
The School of General Studies occupies a central position in the service of this University since all students admitted into the University through UTME and Direct Entry take at least two GSP courses. This year, we have more than 9,000 students in the Nsukka and Enugu Campuses of our University admitted as first year or Direct Entry students. The administration of the School of General Studies, aware of the important position of the School of General Studies in helping to achieve the vision of this University administration, resolved to take the lead in maximizing the ICT advantages by using the Computer-Based Examination for all GSP courses.
Why CBE in the School of General Studies?
Using Computer-Based Examination (CBE) for all GSP courses offers compulsory opportunity to the use of computers by all students taking GSP courses, irrespective of their dispositions, to the use of computers. Thus, the administration of the School of General Studies was convinced that the use of computers in writing GSP exams will definitely:
1. Help place our students at par with other students in several countries of the world in line with international best practices;
2. Help in sustaining the global visibility of our University through our exploiting ICT maximally since Computer-Based Examinations will also enhance our students’ abilities to access their results online. Other related multiplier effects of the CBE in the evaluation of the GSP courses will include: quicker compilation of results by the Examinations Unit of the University, faster preparation of Transcripts, and so on;
3. Reduce the enormous workload of a General Studies staff marking scripts and collating results of about 500 students. This will help to re-direct manpower to research, more effective teaching and community development;
4. Eliminate myriad of examination-related problems such as missing scripts and missing results, wrong grades, sorting, and in some cases, the integrity of our results;
Assessing the first Computer-Based Examinations in the School of General Studies, UNN
The School of General Studies has successfully conducted the First Computer-Based Examination in all her courses for the more than 12,000 students (first year, second year, and some carry-over and external candidates) that offered the GSP courses in the First Semester of the 2015/2016 session. With the support of the University administration, there is no going back!
Notes and Responses to Questions
We must quickly note that in considering the option of making all our examinations for the GSP courses to be computer-based, we were cautious about how to conduct our examinations without compromising quality of teaching and learning in the School of General Studies. Our robust continuous assessment scores are based on students’ attendance, take-home assignments, and seminar presentations and presentations by our students. For instance, in the Use of English, the take-home assignments are meant to provide opportunities for the students to be taught and to learn writing and research skills, while the oral seminar presentations are meant to provide opportunities for them to develop their listening and speaking (phonetics and phonology) skills. With provisions like this and more, there is no need for the anxiety inherent in such questions as: “Having administered all your examination questions as Computer-Based and objectives, are you not running the risk of denying your students the opportunities of testing the extent they have acquired the writing skill which is best tested during essay-oriented examinations?”

ISIS Kill 38 Christians On Palm Sunday In A Carefully Planned Attack In Egypt
The explosion Sunday morning — in the city’s Abbassiya district — hit the small church of St. Peter and St. Paul attached to the St. Mark’s Coptic Orthodox Cathedral, said the Coptic Church’s official spokesperson, Rev. Paul Halim, according to the government-sponsored Al-Ahram news outlet.
At least 25 people are dead and dozens injured, Al-Ahram said, citing the health ministry.
Egyptian state news agency MENA reported, citing security sources, said a 12-kilogram TNT bomb caused the blast..
In response to questions from CNN about the size of the bomb, a police official who asked not to be named told CNN: “It is too early to determine the type and amount of the explosives used,” and authorities are unable to confirm reports about a 12-kilogram bomb.
The cause of the explosion is not yet known but Egypt’s Christian minority has often been targeted by Islamist militants in recent years.
Video and pictures of what appears to show the horrifying aftermath as crowds gather around dead bodies have emerged online.
The incident comes as Coptic worshippers gathered to celebrate Palm Sunday – the Sunday before Easter that marks the start of Holy Week for Christians.
Some 25 people died when a bomb exploded at the Coptic cathedral in Cairo during a service in December last year.
Hundreds of Christians have fled the country’s Sinai Peninsula following killings in the area.
Pope Francis is set to visit Egypt later in April.
