Is It Good Or Bad To Be The First Set On A New Course? by Nobody: 3:17pm On Jan 19, 2022
I'll be starting a new course in a couple of weeks but it's a brand new module and we are the first set. I mean the certificate would be recognised etc but is this good or bad in terms of the delivery for the students?

Wine matures with age so does this apply to courses? I hope y'all understand what I'm trying to say.

Thank you.

What difference will it make if someone tells you that it's good or bad?
Will you quit the course?
You didn't know that your set are the pioneers when starting out?

I'm not going to quit and of course I knew. Just wanted to know, that's all. If you don't know what to say, swipe up.

Being a pioneer set will attract a lot of benefits. This is because the awarding institution will want to fuse all it's manpower to ensure a successful program. A lot will be on the institution to pool all it's resources to attract subsequent sets.

Also, if you are okay with the course modules, then there is no course for alarm.

Having typed that, I would recommend you enjoy the undeclared privileges this program will come with. Also, the depth of knowledge, networks and professional skills you will acquire will help you navigate in your career path, ma.

There cons to this programs but having weighted it in the scales of balances, I think the pros gained more balance. It is on this note, I suggest you give it a try and enjoy the atmosphere.

It is not the certificate that makes you, it is the you that found herself in the course of completing a program that makes the certificate relevance. I know they are bragging rights in certificate acquisition but your worth is far better.

Enjoy it and debunk every naysayings.

Yes. They also run BA and MA courses. I'll be finishing my BA in a few months with a different uni (currently writing my dissertation) but just wanted to do this course because it's online and it's only 1-year. This is a new module they've added to their existing ones.

Been a pioneer of any course get issue bro...
This year specifically my course Agric.engr was changed to Agric and bio resources therefore which caused a lot of confusion when selecting required courses to be offered due to the change of departmental name...
Note, we the Agric n bio Engr (pioneer set) are in 400lvl currently, while the last set of Agric Engr are in year 5....
Due to the addition of bio resources to the department rationalized/causes changes in the course to be offered...
We the bio resources set were busy picking pure Agric Engr courses with d guide of course coordinator since those were the existing courses offered at d department nonetheless not knowing some of the course wish were chose has been omitted by the Department n senate bodies and the courses added by d above bodies was not offered by any of us due to lack of information from course coordinator or regulated bodies..
It was later at second semester 300 this information was brought to us due to d arguments that occur in class with a lecturer b4 the lecturer Drew our attention concerning those courses with didn't offer which we suppose to offer n we didn't we're newly added course to the department due to change in department name therefore we are all advised to register them cuz there core courses n won't graduate if we don't do them.
Those courses are four in number, imagine been in 400lvl registering year 2,3 courses together with year 4 courses accumulating to 14 courses to be register which is way above the total 24 credit unit set by the University board to be registered...with the addition of this courses gives no room for space to insert carry over courses or n have to drop some of this course till year 5 to be register assuming
Either u have CO or not since it exceed required 24unit set by management....
With this problem alone, it has cause automatic spill over to many people in class...
Since the management knew all this were there fault n we were guided by the course coordinator offered to us, they just plead with us to register those course since there core n mandatory or else no graduate in our set...
Well the departmental management just said were the pioneer set of Agric n bio resources engr, so mistakes like this are likely to occur as first set we are just like lab rat to make mistakes on and correct those mistakes/changes on next set so it won't occur again...we were even told we were lucky to know about those mistakes early assuming it was left at final year b4 knowing, no one will graduate from the department.....
My people let me stop here, story too much..
As a pioneer set of department, na ontop una head dey go use practice all mistake from course reg to other issues.. That's Nigeria system for you oooo.
Las las we go dey alright sha...peace...

it's actually a good idea, I'll suggest you go for it, if you have the time, nothing is lost but I doubt it would have any impactful benefits, aside from the knowledge gained that is, starting first is just like a shepherd clearing a bush path for his lambs to pass without stress
