Qualities of a good essay: an assessment of the writings of Nigerian undergra...SubmissionResearchpa
This research sought to discover the capabilities of Nigerian undergraduates in handling the salient characteristics of essay in English. Such qualities as clarity, economy, simplicity, unity and coherence were the variables in the assessment. The study was conducted within the framework of the theory of descriptive linguistics and its sub-discipline of stylistics. Four topics representing argumentative, descriptive, expository and narrative essays were given to students for each of them to voluntarily choose one and write on in a strictly supervised writing test. All the essays were marked on the above stated variables. Critical case sampling strand of the purposive sampling was used to select four outstanding essays each representing one of the four departments of the Akwa Ibom State University of Nigeria. Paragraph and sentence formed some of the units of analysis. It was found out that the four subjects whose essays were analyzed proved their mettle in producing readable and creative prose in the four genres with some room for improvement. It is suggested that the Use of English programme in Nigerian universities should be extended from one to two years in addition to regular practice in writing by students and feedback from lecturers. by Usoro Mark Okono 2020.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

1. ENGLISH ELECTIVE (Code No. 001)
(2021-22)
Background
The course is intended to give students a high level of competence in English with an
emphasis on the study of literary texts. The course will provide extensive exposure to a
variety of rich texts of world literature as well as Indian writings in English, including
classics; develop sensitivity to the creative and imaginative use of English Language and
give them a taste for reading with delight and discernment. The course is primarily
designed to equip the students to pursue higher studies in English literature and English
language at the collegelevel.
Competencies to be focused on:
The general objectives are to:
i. provide extensive exposure to a variety of writings in English, including some classics
to develop sensitivity to literary and creative uses of thelanguage.
ii. further expand the learners' vocabulary resources through the use of dictionary,
thesaurus andencyclopedia.
iii. develop a taste for reading with discernment anddelight.
iv. critically examine a text and comment on differentaspects.
v. develop proficiency in English Language both in receptive and productiveskills.
vi. grasp the global meaning of the text, its gist and understand how its theme and sub-

comparison.

xv. develop the advanced skills of reasoning, inferring, analysing, evaluating andcreating.
xvi. develop familiarity with the poetic uses of language including features of the language
through which artistic effect isachieved.
Methods and Techniques
The techniques used for teaching should promote habits of self-learning and reduce
dependence on the teacher. The multi-skill, learner-centric, activity-based approach already
recommended for the previous stages of education, is still in place, though it will be used in
such a way that silent reading of prescribed selected texts for comprehension will receive
greater focus as one of the activities. Learners will be trained to read independently and
intelligently, interacting actively with texts and other reference materials (dictionary,
thesaurus, encyclopedia, etc.) where necessary. Some pre-reading activity will generally be
required, as suggested in the course books. The reading of texts should be followed bypost
reading activities. It is important to remember that every text can generate different reading
strategies. Students should be encouraged to interpret texts in different ways, understand
the views of others and present their views on a literary text. Some projects may be
assigned to students from time to time, for instance, students may be asked to put together
a few literary pieces on a given theme, so as to create a meaningful singular hold.
