The Lecturer Who Didn’t Make First Class, and Made Sure I Didn’t Too, Barr. Maruf Muhammed Speaks On Lecturer's Grading Controversy

A Facebook post by Barr. Maruf Muhammed has sparked discussion about a lecturer's grading practices.

According to Muhammed, he was advised to choose International Law over Energy Law due to concerns about the latter's lecturer being strict with grades.

Muhammed claimed that despite his efforts, he scored 69B in International Law, which he believed would jeopardize his chances of making a first class. He met with the lecturer, who initially refused to round up his score, citing that he didn't graduate with a first class either.

The issue was later raised at a board meeting, where the lecturer was compelled to adhere to the Senate rules and add 1 to the score. However, Muhammed's overall CGPA was still affected, and he graduated with 4.48/5.0.

This incident highlights the potential impact of grading practices on students' academic performance and future opportunities. Muhammed's experience has sparked debate about the role of lecturers in shaping students' academic outcomes.
