I don't see anything special in this question, but it is just that we undergraduate of nowadays are very lazy...

After reading and practicing for calculations for an econometrics test yesterday behold what the lecturer set. For nearly 15 minutes I blanked out. Scholars in the house happy solving... cry
I think this has to do with Skewness...
For Zero - It's not skewed while for
Non-zero - It's Negatively Skewed or skewed to the left

"Amounted to zero or did not amounted to zero" what kind of English is that? It should be "amounted to zero or did not AMOUNT to zero"

So much from unilag, its like saying "arrived at zero or did not ARRIVED at zero" the correct statement should be "arrived at zero or did not ARRIVE at zero" or saying "he did not came to zero"

Up unilag
Why the hate... As you can can see, it could be a typo error from the typist

Seriously, Up UNILAG

The statement simply means "equals or not equals to zero"

In answering problem questions try not to get confused by all the other unnecessary words. Underline the key words and your brain would put it together to help you understand exactly what is required of you..

Econometrics is a killer I swear. It's bearable in Undergrad. Grad school's where the pain really hits hard. Lol.

This is a pretty easy question though. I don't understand what the fuss is about.

because English is our lingua franca, even when you are setting exams on Spanish history, it's wrong to make mistskes on the exam sheet just because the exam is all about Spanish.
The exams/test should be cancelled.
It is about time Nigerian languages are used in teaching on our campuses. How about that?

Question no.2 is the kind of question that makes Nigerian graduates eternally dull. You can't even ask a question that can solve a real life problem, you're bringing your religion biases into it. Yeye professor. In his mind now, he has set a "genius" question. Mschewww. Nonsense and rubbish

are you a student or graduate of unilag?
If yes, then I can see why you are furious.

But sorry, to me I can't take such height of ineptness portrayed by the lecturer, it speaks volume on the quality of education not just in unilag, but in Nigeria at large

My brother I know, but it's not English they are writing but economics .
Exactly...people keep correcting the English used but failed to answer the question
It is simply econometrics and certainly not an English question

Here in abroad , I used to watch children going to school and going outdoors with their parents or guidance for recreation, at times I use to see them coming back very late in the night maybe 1am and going to school 6pm, before 12pm same day they are back , meaning they studies only Last for less than 6 hours, but in all these enough time to waste instead schooling, they are more smart and educative than our own children who spent 12hours every day reading in the school.. infact our curriculum is dog poo
