Almost as congruent as the “Book of Life” quoted in the Bible, the “Book of Life” which is a
biblical allusion within the UI environ, is believed to be an illegal document containing the results as well as the basic information of the
students, thus listed: Name, Matric number, Department, and mode of entry among
others.
To
this end, some students of the University of Ibadan have shared their thoughts
following the release of the non-final year results on the May 27th 2022/2023
session.
Below
are the opinions of some students whose views were aggregated.
Emma, a 100-level student shared his opinion stating that the Book of
Life is a comprehensive code encompassing the academic results of undergraduate
students revealing students' intelligence, proficiency, and understanding in
their specialised courses by summing up their first and second-semester
results.
He
stated further that the time frame for the release of this Code [The Book of
Life] induces significant tension and fear among students, as it determines students’
academic progress, promotion, or the consequences of negligence and failure.
This evaluation system compels students to buckle down and diligently focus on
their studies. They are constantly aware that their performance will be
scrutinised and analysed at the end of each academic session, driving them to
strive for excellence.”
Aisha, a 100-level student opined ambivalently
that she is not too displeased at the idea of the Book of Life but rather taken
aback by it as a freshman because she is surprised that results of non-final
year students could be easily accessed publicly.
Abdulsobur, a 300-level student said “Actually it demoralised some people and at the same time encouraged
some people to do more since everyone will see others' results in the Book Of
Life is not always correct, what matters most is the transcript since [which makes
lucid] the [actual] CGPA”
It is thus proposed through this article that
conscious efforts should be taken as regards the leakage of the illegal document known
as “The Book of Life” in the parlance of UI students
