3. VISION, MISSION AND PHILOSOPHY

The department has adopted a broad strategy of human resource development that encompasses

educational, technological, cultural, social, political and spiritual development such that our

graduates will be sufficiently equipped to make valuable contributions to national development

towards the attainment of the Vision 20:2020 of Nigeria and the Millennium Development Goals

as set by the global community. The Department intends to nurture graduates, who by leveraging

on their sound foundational training and skills in the computing sciences would become globally

relevant in the industrial and academic domains, and eventually emerging as future leaders in the

fields of Computing, Computational Sciences, and Information and Communication Technology,

both in Nigeria and the global community. The department is committed to producing highly

creative and innovative graduates that are competent enough to be self-employed in the field of

Information Technology and its allied disciplines, or in the least be immediately employable.

Research-wise, the department aims to make significant contributions to the advancement of the

broad field of Computer Science. To achieve this, the department has two vibrant research

groups that are engaged in high quality research. The Bioinformatics research unit is actively

involved in bioinformatics research in their quest to combat the menace of Malaria, HIV/ AIDS

and other chronic diseases that are prevalent in the African continent. The Software Engineering

and Intelligent Systems unit is committed to research in the key thematic areas of Mobile

Computing, E-Health, E-Learning, E-Tourism, E-Governance, and Data mining that would

ultimately engender the eradication of poverty, increased wealth creation, and literacy level, and

reduction of child mortality rate.

4. OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAMME

The Department appoints Level Advisers for each level (Class), who are in charge of

registration, welfare and counseling of students. The Head of Department liaises with the

advisers and other staff in the running of the Department.

Furthermore, the Department constitutes some committees that address specific departmental

issues, which include: Research and Development, Quality Assurance and Academic Standards,

Disciplinary, and Examinations Committee amongst others.

(b) Policy and Practice on Staff Development

The University has a robust staff development programme in place. Any academic staff

employed in the University who has no Ph.D at the point of appointment is expected to

commence immediately a postgraduate programme in-house, fully sponsored by the University,

except there is a strong evidence that such staff is making satisfactory progress in postgraduateprogramme elsewhere. Furthermore, each faculty of the University is entitled each year to

conference sponsorship in Nigeria, Africa and abroad depending on individual rank.

(c) Staff Promotion

The Staff promotion process is in line with the University policy that rewards quality

scholarship.

STUDENTS WELFARE

(a) Handling of academic grievanceThere is a level adviser for each level of our programmes. Students having grievances or/and

suggestions can discuss either with their level advisers, the staff concerned, or/and the HOD.Every student has unrestricted access to all the staff and particularly the level advisers in the

Department, to the HOD, and to the Dean. In fact, at the University level, there is a schemetagged in-loco parentis, where faculty and staff act as the parents of students. Through this

scheme, faculty and staff are able to interact with students as parents on all issues such asacademic, social and welfare.

(b) Student academic advising

Academic advising is done at different levels for all students in the university. At the

departmental level, the level advisers are primarily responsible for interacting with the studentsat a specified level and to ascertain that all issues bothering on academic matters are addressedpromptly. Such typical issues include registration, continuous assessment and health challenges

among others.

EXAMINATION

(a) Setting, conduct, evaluation scheme, moderation schemes-internal and external for

degree examination and the issuance of results.

The course lecturers of each course are responsible for drawing questions, according to the

stipulated departmental format in the courses taught. All examination papers and markingschemes are subjected to internal moderation. The answer scripts are likewise subjected to

internal moderation as part of the quality assurance measures of the university to ascertain thatminimal/no errors go into examination processing. However, all final year questions and marking

schemes are subjected to external moderation through a qualified Professor in the discipline.

ACADEMIC ENVIRONMENT

The Department operates in a conducive atmosphere provided by the University Management.

This is reflected, among others in the following:

1. Regular academic calendar devoid of strikes, student demonstration or other forms of

Disruption;

Students Academic performance/ AssessmentAll courses taught during each semester are examined at the middle and end of the semester.

Students shall be assessed by examinations of all registered courses at the end of the semester.

Each courses shall have a total mark of 100 with 70 marks for the examination and 30 marks for

continuous assessment. The minimum pass mark shall be 45%. Grade point Average (G.P.A.)

shall serve as a means of checking whether a student is in good standing or not. The cumulative

G.P.A. (CGPA) at the end of the programme shall indicate the class of degree. A student who

does not have a Grade Point Average up to 1.5 in any semester is placed on academic probation

and is required to remedy this by the next semester; otherwise he will be advised to withdrawfrom the programme.

Calculation of GPA and CGPAStudents are required to be familiar with the computation of their academic standing so that theycan monitor their performance and make necessary adjustment in order to have a fulfilling

academic career in the UniversityStudents should be familiar with the following terms used in computing their academic records.

TUT: Total Units Taken (this applies to each semester)

TUP: Total Units passed (per semester)CUT: Cumulative Units taken (which is the sum of the previous semesters TUT

and the current semesters TUT or the sum of the last CUT and thecurrent Semesters TUT)


10/39

10

CUP: Cumulative Units Passed (which is the sum of the previous semesters TUP and thecurrent semesters TUP or the sum of the last CUP and the current semesters TUP

GP: Grade Point for a course is a product of score point and the number of units assigned to

the course. For example, a 3-unit score for which the student returned an A grade iscalculated using the formular: Grade point for the course = point of grade score x unit ofcourse; i.e. 5x3=15

TGP: (Total Grade Point): This is the sum of the grade point for TUT. For example, the TGPfor five course A, B, C, D, E = A+B+C+D+E

GPA: Grade Point Average (this is the mean of the TGP) This, GPA =TGP

/TUTCGP: Cumulative Grade Point (this is the sum of grade points of all semesters

to date)CGPA: Cumulative Grade Point Average and is calculated using the formula:

CGPA + CGP/CUT
