400 LEVEL

Hey Learners!!!

I am excited to welcome you here.

My name is Dr. D. T. Fajobi. I am the course E-Tutor for AGE 407: Econometrics. It is my pleasure to welcome you to this interface of the LODLC learning management system, LMS. Also, I’m glad to give you the general overview of what this course entails and what you are required to do to have great excellence at the end of the course and in your final semester examination.

The total number of study sessions in the AGE 407 study guide is 5. Each is expected to be facilitated by myself (using suitable means, especially on Zoom and Learning Management System LMS) and learnt by you per week. In order to ensure swift understanding of the study guide, you are required to have read the peculiar study material (either downloaded from the LMS or in the hardcopy delivered to you by the school) ahead of the interactive session.  

During facilitation of each study session, ensure you have a functional Android phone or computer with good internet connectivity, with some software that will be needed and related mathematical aided materials such as calculator etc. For each week, there will be compulsory activities in the forms of assignments, quizzes, forum, projects or referral to external reading materials which must be attempted by you before the corresponding due dates.

Do not forget that, your involvements on LMS and Zoom are auto-monitored and asides, they determine your enablement to participate in the subsequent study session, and to be eligible to write the semester’s examination. Additionally, there will be a compulsory mid-semester test. All will cumulatively stand as your continuous assessment (40 marks) while the final semester examination is 60 marks.

You are advised to take this course and the activities involved very seriously, as cumulative of these determine your academic excellence. I hope you keep all these in mind when it comes time to study. I am available to attend to your queries either during facilitation or in my mail (dtodedele@lautech.edu.ng) at your earliest convenience.

Make hay while the sun shines.

Thank you for your time.

Best wishes.

Dr. D. T. Fajobi
