The Vice Chancellor of
\nRivers State University of Science and Technology (RSUST), Nkpolu, has been advised to initiate a programme that will allow computer based examinations for students at all levels in the university.
\nThe students, who spoke with The Tide, last Wednesday in Port Harcourt, said that the Institute of Foundation Studies (IFS) computer-based exams are so far the best way of examining students.
\nThey said that the system was only guaranteeing a fraud-free exam, but has engendered a high level of seriousness among the students.
\nAccording to Miss Ihuoma Odigwe, no system can for now rival the computer examination method.
\nShe pointed out immediate result of students\u2019 score as one of the benefit of the system, unlike the manual method takes longer time.
\nOdigwe, maintained that manual pattern encourages a kind of examination malpractice as some \u201cwealthy\u201d students pay their ways through after each exam.
\nShe stressed that if the computer system would be introduced from 100-500 levels that most students would graduate with high grades.
\nAnother student, Nkemdirim Obinnaya, who spoke on the contrary, said that the system may not be beneficial now since the state was yet to adopt total e-learning system.
\nHe noted that until there was a system that could support computer education or examination method, the process may not succeed, as the issue of epileptic power supply in the state was not been addressed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
