and i was reading the nottingham msia prospectus........while they claim equivalence, and possibility of transfers, it is subject to 'minimum grades'.......ie you have to achieve certain minimum grades to be eligible for transfer........which imply the standards at the main campuses in and around nottingham is higher than msia..........also, the prospectus seem to suggest that exams are set locally, not the common exam papers used in their uk campuses.........

at least they use proper english.........i was also reading ucsi's prospectus, i found so many english mistakes, it reflects very badly on the establishment........

all students at IMU are required to dress formally irregardless of what course u r studying.

ermm..business formal..minus the coat...   ties are compulsory as well(for guys).

i am not in imu.........you will need to go quite far back to get an idea..........

the discussion was on uniformity of standards.........

in any case, you are mistaken.........

you are NOT in school anymore.........needing to be spoon fed..........

a good school teacher will make you understand.........

a university lecturer doesn't have to........he is an expert in his field, and he shares his knowledge with you........it's up to you to understand.......

further help comes from tutors........

lol. u were told?

definition of chemical from wiki:

In chemistry, a chemical substance is a material with a specific chemical composition.[1]
A common example of a chemical substance is pure water; it has the same properties and the same ratio of hydrogen to oxygen whether it is isolated from a river or made in a laboratory. Some typical chemical substances are diamond, gold, salt (sodium chloride) and sugar (sucrose). Generally, chemical substances exist as a solid, liquid, gas, or plasma and may change between these phases of matter with changes in temperature or pressure. Chemical reactions convert one chemical substance into another.

so no...u dun study that in pharmacy...u only do organic chemistry..looks like u have  a lot of research more to do..

lol. I do STPM also not sure whether it's good enough a preparation for engineering studies.

Hey guys I'm rotting here after all my friends left for IPTA. Is there anything I can do to ease my transition to UG studies? Like maybe refresh skills on specific parts of maths like calculus?

Basically anything that you wished you've had known/prepared before starting 101.

haha. C'mon I know it's a myth that F6 is more or less the same as UG Yr1. Unless ppl do further maths in F6. I didn't la boss. I've peeked into mechanics book in a library and they have all sorts of formulas to calculate all sorts of stuff.

My F6 maths ok la, when taking the STPM paper. Now 6 months didn't touch the book already feeling not that confident.

aiyo F5 dun mention. F5 is nothing. Ppl think their F5 get straights think they are god or something. LOL topic for another day.

So, there's nothing you wished you knew before you started 101? Sure or not my friend who took A levels say he might be having trouble even passing his papers for Sem2 that juz ended weeks ago. Haven't got to meet him again though. To be fair he's in Imperial so standards might vary a bit(?).

For the record, will be goin MechEng. So any prep will be helpful.

there's a lecturer's webpage? I thought need to log in for that one? Link is called Student Portal or something, right?

@eXPeri3nc3 lol i guess you're doing CS now huh? (soli ah didn't read back when you mentioned it, if you did) CS maths lagi tough one wor, right?

oh so far i  can't find ppl who studied foundation program thr one to tell me how isit lol ._.

how was it O.o and what about the coursework:exam ratio? ._. 50:50 a?

For what I know, Foundation can get until 35%, but undergraduate will only have 25%.

And the internet on-campus doesn't allow P2P, for those who are concerned.
