Studying of course need to be hardworking. You must learn to read, since law required a lots of reading. But same to the other courses, all studies need hardwork.

Yes, constitutional law is Perlembagaan Persekutuan. You have the "act" (We term it as "act")? Remember to bring, you will need it in first year
We need to refer it as it is the main law in Malaysia, so it is 101% useful.

You will need to have both BM and BI version, since we are learning law in bilingual. Final exam consisted of 4 questions. We need to do 2 questions which is 1 in BI and 1 in BM. So we need both version.

Yes, class and tutorial. Ask questions, give comments.

And lecturers always welcome students to refer them any questions that you do not understand, they are very very very friendly and willing to help. But don't ask them before you try your effort to understand, otherwise you give bad impression as they think you are the kind need to be "suap" always. Or at least must show them you have read a lots and research but still need their comments or affirm your understanding.

Yes, seniors are important in faculty. As we have past through first year, we know how to deal with the subjects and any incidents.

And please be friendly and try to put yourself out to say a simple "Hi" with smile to seniors. Don't wait seniors to greet you. Seniors will love you very much if you are polite and respect them.

Added on June 21, 2010, 2:03 amWow , that's many dude.

When I went UKM there was only me from my hometown

Forum here also got lots law students same batch as you, you really have many gengs

Go ask your geng to participate here

Added on June 21, 2010, 2:09 amFirst of all , congratz to you to get enrolled , and you are the first IT UKMers to report here

Actually it is quite hard to change a course, but cannot be described as hard also as I have many friends manage to change it. But, I just can tell you, you have the chance but it is not 100% for you to change.

Etc:
My friend A - Able to get enrolled in Faculty A, manually apply by submitting and seeing the Dean of faculty, after failed to get any courses in UPU.

My friend B - First year get Business courses, after 1 year, successfully transfer to another faculty with the glamorous result he got in first year.

So my advice is, since you are from Kajang so near You better write a formal letter with convincing and strong reasons.. see the Dean of the faculty and ask whether you can apply or not ASAP, before orientation week.. Means this week..

PA book can keep already.. no use.. The syllabus is totally not same as PA. You will only need consti textbooks later on.

Haha.. I appreciate your eagerness to study law

But 100% not need to memorize, no use.. We are not learning all the law, but the important parts. You can save your time to enjoy the remaining times.

And one thing, we can refer Perlembagaan Act in final exam. If really memorize all the things, we gonna dead before graduate

The most important thing is , Understanding the law.

Ya,, Arab!!! Enjoys

"Sukran" - Arabic

Yes, mostly all the people involve in the orientation are seniors. I believe you can differentiate them easilt, normally lecturers or staffs, they are much more older than seniors

Almost all students apply for PTPTN here I believe, any doubts just ask us to clarify.

Added on June 21, 2010, 12:50 pmNot need to be pure white. As long as the colour is white, the one with black stripes also accepted. So, no problem as long as it is white.

---

Added on June 21, 2010, 12:52 pmThe interest is 1 % per year

If you get first class honour, you not need to pay back PTPTN loan.

And yes, you have to buy the pin in order to apply for PTPTN, and you must have the BIMB account.

---

Added on June 21, 2010, 12:56 pmDon't worry, they will arrange only same races in the same room due to the different customs.

But I have one friend, live with Indians in first year, I dunno why?

But the rest are all chinese with chinese.

Before this when I wanted to apply PTPTN, when I read I also felt blur

This post has been edited by dhui: Jun 21 2010, 03:00 PM

But I think they will rebate in the end right?

Haiz.. when you get used to it, you will numb of it. My friend only got his PTPTN money banked in in the last 2 weeks before the final exam. My friend called to their offices but it was hard for them to answer the call. My friend really dulan that times, and the staff also talked in impolite ways.

---

Added on June 21, 2010, 3:32 pmSo how? Have you seen the Dean?

If you do not mind, share your experience here so that the other students who are also willing to change the course have some guidelines to follow with.

Thanks for the suggestion and now the thread is updated with student's list by colleges.

Thank you

Added on June 21, 2010, 4:49 pmOf course, and I believe many IPTA students will be eager to know how's your progress in course changing applications.

Good Luck!

Yes, understanding is vital, but you also can't avoid from memorising those cases.

But not only law need memorising, but same to the other course etc Engineering , they memorise formula. Doctor memorise body parts and so on.

But some law students make mistake especially in first year, they focus on memorising all the cases and finally the result is not satisfying as they do not know how to apply them into questions.

When you understand, you will remember it and you not need to memorise it blindly.

*However cases must be memorised

Added on June 21, 2010, 7:03 pmAdded to list and congratz to you..

Welcome to UKM

Yes, if I am not mistaken, one week will be in main campus. After that, you will be going back to your own campus in KL for another week orientation.

You are lucky to "enjoy" extra 1 orientation week

This post has been edited by dhui: Jun 21 2010, 07:03 PM

Oh, your aunt is a lecturer in UKM? How lucky you are.

Then this make your matters to easier. I believe this will boost your chance to change the course

---

Added on June 21, 2010, 7:08 pmYou are welcome.

When you get into the faculty, be friends with the other seniors. Many seniors are pro"er" and better than me, some of them really scored excellent results and by that time, you can slow slow consult them on how to study, or to say how to score

---

Added on June 21, 2010, 7:11 pmThread updated with simple FAQ.

I can't add it into the first post since I have the post counts limit. So I have converted it to a pdf file, simply click to download and have a read.

This post has been edited by dhui: Jun 21 2010, 07:11 PM

Really? That's good. Any corrections or suggestions to addon, do tell me

This post has been edited by dhui: Jun 21 2010, 07:41 PM

---

Added on June 21, 2010, 10:31 pmThank you

You are UKM graduates? Which batch are you?

Nice to meet you, senior

Btw , kamsis C is Rahim Kajai?

This post has been edited by dhui: Jun 21 2010, 10:31 PM

What are you worrying at?

Borang F is not needed, its for those who got the offer but wish to postpone their study due to some reasons.

Borang H - Is it for the airport pickup form? If it is, then it is specifically for those who fly to KL.

Borang E - This one I not quite remember, but it is more secure to accept it via online and post.

Borand D - Yes, you have to post it befire the date. You have to take picture and sent to them, it will be used as temporary matrix card.

*Matrix card is a term, means UKM name tag.

---

Added on June 21, 2010, 10:39 pmIt is not found in the printed copies? I forgot already since it has past 2 years. Maybe the other new students can help to confirm this?

But in the offer letter their post sure have it.

---

Added on June 21, 2010, 10:40 pmThank you again
Yes, will update it when I notice any questions that you guys asked.

This post has been edited by dhui: Jun 21 2010, 10:40 PM

Haha.. you not need to worry so much. Their system in arranging students is based on races. Unless you are extremely unlucky or any unexpected exception, otherwise you will only be with the person same race as you.

The instructions are there, you try to read carefully. I can't exactly tell you about where and how to post, I don't have the form in my hand and I not really remember it

Or maybe the other new enrolled students can offer their helps here?

Yes, I think so. I can't share with you on this because I am not using the WPP.

As for your knowledge, the money will be cut in the loan in future

Etc: If the loan is RM3250 per sem, it will be cut and only left RM1750 for you to use on that sem. But I forget when the money being cut, probably sem 1 or 2. It is NOT repaid after you graduated.

This post has been edited by dhui: Jun 21 2010, 10:52 PM

Yes, you can go home after orientation and come back on Sunday which is the same day I back

Monday starts lecture already.

---

Added on June 21, 2010, 10:56 pmI see. Haha, nevermind, you know more than them.

You can teach them how and what to do later on
