UNIABUJA Gets Full Accreditation For 12 Courses

The University of Abuja has regained full accreditation for twelve courses, including Accounting, Business Administration, Arabic Studies, Christian Religious Studies, and English Language.

Director of Quality Assurance, National Universities Commission (NUC), N.B. Saliu, made this known on Monday.

Apart from the aforementioned courses, the other accredited courses are;
History, Diplomatic Studies, Islamic Studies, Linguistics, Philosophy, Theatre Arts, History Education and Social Studies Education.

The courses were assessed by the NUC during its accreditation visit to the university in 2016. Ediga Agbo, spokesperson of the governing council of UNIABUJA, confirmed the development.

“The situation then looked so bleak that we wondered if there was a university. The Engineering students had been sent out to other universities and the medical students were on strike as they had spent 4 to 5 years without accreditation and the Council confronted these situations head-on.

“Today, the university has 53 programmes with 28 having full accreditation, 23 have interim accreditation and others have denials.”

Agbo said that UNIABUJA hopes to get 95 per cent of its courses approved by the NUC during the next accreditation in May.

Why Your Left Side Is Your Best Side, According To Science

Yes, you really do have a more attractive side, and a new study digs deeper into the reasons why. Previous studies have shown that there actually is a preference for the left side as it appears to exhibit more emotion.
Researchers at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia, set out to find whether it’s the actual configuration of our facial features that matter or just the features of the left cheek that makes it appear more expressive. For the very small study, 81 people assessed two sets of images to determine which appeared happier, reports PsyPost. One set showed faces as they appeared while the other scrambled features.
They found that people preferred the left cheek in both instances, which means that featural cues of the left cheek were enough to determine emotion.There was a stronger preference, however, for the left side of the face in those that weren’t scrambled.“As scrambling faces disrupts configural processing, the fact that the left cheek was perceived as more expressive even when scrambled confirms that differences between the cheeks’ featural information are sufficient to induce the left cheek bias,” the authors write in the paper.

Oxbridge Freshers To Get Classes In S3xual Consent That Teach Them How Not To Rape Fellow Undergrads

Freshers at Oxford and Cambridge universities are being put in classes telling them not to rape. 

Each first year has to attend a controversial 'consent class' during Freshers' Week in October, which teaches students not to s3xually assault others. Classes at Oxford University are compulsory - with the same workshops at Cambridge being run on an opt-out basis.

Rugby players at Oxford University will also be made to attend anti-misogyny workshops later in the year to stamp out 'lad culture' among players.  The initiative has been branded too little too late by some, with one student saying: 'I've never been to a consent class and I've still managed never to have s3xually assaulted anyone.'

But Orla White - Vice President for Women at Oxford University, has defended the classes, saying the discussions 'break taboos'.
