Hey icekeith92,

First and foremost, welcome to UniMAP!

Well, from the first look at your course, I believe it is new. I guess you will be the first batch of students taking this course.

There are advantages as well as disadvantages. Let's talk about the good stuffs first. Being the first few batches of a new course, it will be relatively easy to score, as the School does not have any standards to compare with. Also, most of the lecturers will be all fired-up to teach and they should be more enthusiastic. And obviously, all equipment will be new, provided you are not sharing any with other Schools or courses.

There will be also the not-so-good stuffs being a part of a new course. As there is no standard for comparison, you guys might be made the "white mice" for trial and error. If the trial and error succeeds, it's all well and good. If it fails, they will use that experience to improve the next batch. Also, as the lecturers are new to this course, they don't have any experience teaching this new course. They will be venturing into unknowns.

Well, it sounds more gloomy than you first thought was, right? Not to worry. Before a new course is established and before it qualifies to intake new students, it will have to go through very vigorous and stringent vetting process. Until the course (and also the equipment, teaching expertise, etc.) is fit to take new students, it will not be offered as a university course.

Hope this little info helps. smile.gif If you need any clarifications on anything, just drop a reply in this thread. Many seniors around will be glee to help.

If you get a placement in NUS, I am sure you will get the chance to intern abroad. rclxms.gif

In UniMAP, I doubt you can do that.

But when I was there, a student exchange program was in place, where UniMAP will send some selected students to some partner universities for one semester. Not sure whether the program is still in practice.

I am a new student for 2012/2013 batch. Firstly, i have no intention to humiliate or whatsoever UniMap in this post. I just think that the juniors deserves the truth.

For the first week, we have this minggu suai kenal(MSK).

1. I can assure you the management sucks like hell. I mean if comparing to blowjob, the one doing the service must be having razor-sharp teeth. Seriously, it was a pain in the d***,or ass, or whatever.

-the way the ppms(pembantu pelajar minggu suaikenal) conveying their message is terrible and i was surprise by the first night that there was this microphone but they opt for megaphone instead.and they point it downwards,stupid! i can assure you that all of the students at the back have no idea what they were talking about,seriously, 0 percent!
-the information was extremely blur, "anything, you all stand by esok je,ok?" was the reply i get often.

-THE WAY THEY MOVE THE STUDENTS WAS DAMN-SHIT MESSED UP.
*supposedly all of the new students were accommodated in Wang Ulu (KKG and KKH),then on the fourth or fifth day the business students and ex-diploma students who're going to take second year will move. Then, the seniors from various courses came back and "cucuk masuk" wherever has the empty slot. i do not know how the previous year was but this year is like this.(this is when all hell start to break loose!) some of the seniors was not able to get any rooms and that they have to move to other places with all the begs and stuffs. there was this case where the house got sixth juniors, then 1 senior cucuk masuk, al the juniors just seems to isolate him.(a really childish situation) bt d most importantly is how are we going to do study group easily if all are separated into different blocks, floors and rooms?

THEN, ON THE NIGHT OF MY FIRST DAY CLASS, WHICH IS YESTERDAY, THEY USE THE SOUND SYSTEM TO INFORM THAT ALL STUDENTS FROM KKG(JUNIORS OR SENIORS) NEED TO GATHER BEHIND BLOCK 4 FOR REARRANGEMENT OF THE STUDENTS, I CAN ASSURE YOU,EVEN THE SCENE OF A GROUP OF NAUGHTY KINDERGARDEN CHILDREN IS FAR BETTER.
it was the WORST meeting i have ever participated in my entire life. PERIOD.

2. the food on the fifth or sixth(not sure) night, MOST of them were suspected to be rotten as the smell was horrible. on the first day, there was no spoon for approximately half of the students which is to me, a really biased situation. i'm a chinese,i know how to use my fingers to eat my dinner but i just dont want to..i guess u have to b non-malay to understand what im saying.

3. most of the lecturers are so young, much much younger than other university.so, im worried. they say the older ones went to pursue their studies first, but stil, i'm very worried.

4. The library was really cool! really beautiful!!! BUT is not really that easily accessible to other students who're taking other courses,under other ppk which is away from pauh. we need to take a special effort to go there, take another and so on(menyusahkan).

5. if you want to see handsome guys and lengluis, here is not really the place..there are a few students with the blessing, but seriously, u can count them easily..(sikit saja)

p/s:using the lame excuse by saying this batch students has an outstanding number of students than previous years is irrelevant as we just added 300-400++ students only compared to last year,not by THOUSANDS.a university should be able to cope this really well,but this one really disappointed me.


BUT, i still kept a positive mind to persevere in this university. i'm trying to find the goodness in this university. i found some, but not really good enough that could make me say :"i'll never regret 4 coming to unimap!"

For those who didn't know, let me brief a bit about MPP structures in UniMAP...

There are 9 Ahli Majlis Tertinggi (AMT) and 22 Ahli Majlis Kerja (AMK), usually known as Exco. Total of 31 members of MPP

The AMT were chosen among the General Constitutions Candidates. For this year Pilihanraya Kampus (PRK), 13 Candidates are competing to secure 9 seats. The person who earn the higest vote will become the next Yang Di-Pertua, The head of all students in UniMAP...

As for the Exco, they are representative from each school. Each school needs to have 2 MPPs. If there are more than 2 candidates competing for the school seats, there will be an election. But if not, the candidates automatically win the seats and represents their school for the MPP. For this year, some of the candidates already "menang tanpa bertanding". Candidates from my school (SCCE) and couple of other school as well...

If you're interested to compete, u need to attend 2 Kem Kepimpinan and 1 Kem Jatidiri, conducted by HEPA. So for those who're interested for next year, u can start working on from now...

I'm competing for the General Seats. I hope I can secure one from the 9 seats. and becoming the first troller becoming MPP. YEARGH!!!!

-DO vote for me. And I'll make /k/tards and LYN proud-

hi..i just wanted to know what are the reasons you are competing for the seats?if getting the seats means having the ability to help the students in unimap, i would love to giv it a try..^^
