Student review [#79357] for History
at University of Benin

University of Benin is one of the Second-generation University in Nigeria. I did my master’s degree in the Department of History in the University between 2012 and 2015. I fell in love with the lecturers especially the way they approach the courses they were assigned to teach. For instance, topics are formulated from the outlines are distributed to students to read and make presentation to enable them to have at least some knowledge about the course before the lecturer who makes his inputs to reinforce the knowledge gained. Students were not restricted to study materials in terms of number or particularity.
However, I had some reservations about the postgraduate study in the department. They are very slow in following academic calendar and students suffer silently. Students are always afraid to approach lecturers who are supposed to be mentors to discuss issues of concerns. Lecturers easily lose their tempers with students. Only few are listeners and sympathetic.
