Case:

Tunde has just enrolled in a university. He found his first few days to be exciting. He also found

that life in the university was quite different from that of the secondary school. He concluded his

course registration and participated actively in the orientation for freshmen. Unfortunately,

Tunde is yet to secure accommodation in the hall of residence. Also, the little pocket money he

got from his poor parents had gone into settling unexpected expenses. Three days later, he was

approached by two students who asked him to join a club that has been banned by the University

management but which was still operating underground. Only two weeks into his studentship in

the university and Tunde is confused and in a great deal of emotional stress.

Assume Tunde is a student in your Department. After his first lecture in your course, he walks up

to you and ask for an appointment in the office which you share with another colleague, he

narrates his ordeal.

1. After listening to Tunde’s story, which of the following will you do and why?

(a). Refer him to the Head of Department/Dean

(b). Ask him to see the University Guidance Counselor

(c). Refer him to appropriate sections of the university where his problems can be solved.

(d). Offer him advice on all the problems.

(e). Tell him you are not a trained Guidance Counselor and he should seek help elsewhere.
2. Which aspect of Tunde’s problems have to do with

(a). academic counselling; and

(b). Social counselling?

1. My answer is D, I will offer Tunde an advice on all the problems. I choose this answer

since Tunde is a student from my Department and I believe anyone can give an advice as

long as our intentions are good especially when we know that the person is at harm.

2. My answer is B, Social counselling since the problem of Tunde includes financial

problem and emotional stress.
