The Continuous Assessment (CA) Week has officially commenced for undergraduate law students at Benue State University (BSU), marking a critical period in their academic journey. As students dive into their assessments starting today, the university community wishes them success and resilience.
CA Week is renowned for its high stakes, as it significantly impacts students' final grades. For law students, this period is marked by heightened seriousness and a strict focus on their studies. Commonly perceived by peers from other departments as less social or overly serious, law students face intense scrutiny during these crucial weeks.

"Timetable is out" signals to everyone that law students are fully immersed in their studies. During this time, social activities take a back seat, with invitations and outings often declined. Law students are known to become almost entirely absorbed in their academic responsibilities, leaving little room for distractions or leisure.

This rigorous approach is due to the significant weight of CA in their overall grades. In the Faculty of Law, Continuous Assessments contribute 40% to the total marks for each course. Excelling in these assessments is crucial for passing their courses, and those who achieve high marks often reflect their dedication during CA Week.
Law students face a challenging workload, including extensive reading, memorization of statutes, and reviewing judicial authorities. This academic rigor often leads to a temporary loss of appetite and a decrease in social interactions.

Despite these challenges, support from friends and peers can make a difference. Law students appreciate encouragement and understanding during CA Week. A word of encouragement or a thoughtful gesture can be a great way to show solidarity.
As the CA Week unfolds, the university community extends its best wishes to all law students at Benue State University. May they navigate this demanding period with success and emerge ready for the exams that follow.
