hello,i need some help here...

I would like to know the teaching styles,attributes & weaknesses of all the lecturers stated below...i know all of them are good lecturers but i would like to know more detail abt their teaching styles so that i can know which lecturer teaching style is more suitable to myself as all of them have different teaching style...

F5 Ian Lim VS Andrew Pang

P3 Parmindar Vs Philip Woo


Kindly please give advise,will going to register soon since the new semester is going to commence.Thanks

I have never been to their classes but from what i gather from other posters and websites;

F5 Ian Lim Vs Andrew Pang

Both specializes and concentrate alot on calculation; less emphasis on theory. Theory part studied independently.

Both are more or less similar.

P3 Parminder vs Philip Woo

Apparently Parminder is somewhat of a deity for this subject. Posters commented that he has good IT knowledge and this paper has IT elements.

Philip Woo specializes more on P1. Alot of IRL examples due to his practical experience. Keeps class lively. But his notes are scrappy.

Another person who is always mentioned for P3 is Michael Mainwairing. It seems that he has a condensed 100 pages notes that can cover the entire syllabus. He teaches less nowadays and only for IRC classes if i'm not mistaken.

Hope this helps.

Is the Business Research Module (BRM) compulsory?
Hello everyone -

Just a little update on a development on a college in the Klang Valley (let’s use the term SC to refer to it).

SC has made the BRM module COMPULSORY for its current batch of F7,8,9 student, at a price of RM1,200.

What does it mean to have the module COMPULSORY? Will students be BARRED from taking the ACCA exams if they do not take the module with SC?

Some of my findings:

1. It is the RIGHT of students to take their exams regardless of the demands of the tuition provider
2. The official ACCA website provides a list of the ACCA papers that can be taken for the exams: BRM is NOT ON THE LIST. It is an OPTIONAL service that a tuition provider can offer
3. If you need some more clarification, call ACCA Malaysia at 03-2713 5051. Ask them:
- Is the BRM COMPULSORY? Or JUST ENCOURAGED to develop ‘critical thinking skills’?
- What is the repercussion of not taking the module as far as your course completion is concerned? (NONE!)- Take down the name of the person and if they say that the BRM is compulsory, complain to ACCA UK: info@accaglobal.com

I think SC creating fear in students to JUST MAKE MONEY?

It also bundled the OBU mentoring together with the BRM.

Personally I think it is their right to do business, but not in a way that cows students in submission with HALF TRUTHS...[

OBU has stated that students HAVE A RIGHT TO BE MENTORED BY ANYONE OF THEIR CHOICE! [

In light of these developments, critically think of what SC is saying to students! Your call!

anyone has P6 MYS books ornotes for sale, please PM me

Its very obvious you are talking about Sunway. And I agree, they are brainwashing their students to make even more money. Previously they introduced some Business Communication Skills that isn't about communication, they thought elementary english in these classes. Luckily for me, it was free of charge but the students after that are required to pay for such courses.

The BRM if I'm not mistaken is to help students know more about researching, referencing, etc. for their OBU thesis. More money later on if they opt for their OBU.

Students just have to know what are their rights and not simply give in to the college's demands.

Anyone have info regarding P4 David Meow and P5 Chang Shew Leng?

david meow and chang shew leng both teach in kasturi.

david meow is a cfa lecturer. acca should be sap sap water for him. recommended.

I was trying to assess this page
http://www.ebook-pdf.co.uk/pdf/mc-orange-m...-july-2011.html
but i guess our gov blocked us...no internet freedom.

i dunno. my friend say last time he also like that say he teach. then halfway change to ms. shew leng. say he lung problem.

i attend Ian lim and Andrew pang classes before...
if your basic is good enuf then u can go for Andrew pang because he teaching very fast one...quite alot of my fren also don't understand what he teaching...can't catch up..must study very very hard yourself lorh...i attend his class abt 3 months..after that move to Ian lim.Ian lim teaching style more systematic...not too fast or too slow.As my basic not very OK..after he thought me everything bcome OK if compare with Andrew pang. However,this depends on different ppl~


I know Philip Woo is the best lecturer in this paper...parmindar im not vy sure

hope this helps u

Ian Lim is very strong in calculation area.. As for the theory part you will have to pick up on your own because he spends a lot of time on calculations.. Overall, he is a recommended lecturer..

thank you veri much! i will sign up ian lim class and let you all know good onot.

No disrespect but I won't recommend Chang Shew Leng.

She has a faux accent which irritates the hell out of you.

Practically reads off her own notes and no IRL examples.

Often cite examples relating to her family.

Thumbs down for me.

spencer oso use his daily life or family life
to give examples for the subjects

but i dun see anything wrong with tat
funny as hell even he doing tat

this is regarding another paper or inP5? because I was in her class in F1, she's like that but I thought as you go higher her style changes?

I think if you use your daily life as examples its ok or even with family life.

But it should be relevant shouldn't it?

Ideally you would want a lecturer who can provide some practical examples for you to relate to the subject at hand and also to improve your commercial knowledge.

Ie. What does your mother in law's favourite food or husband's daily got to do with the subject at hand?

It's ok if you use it to crack a joke or two to light up the class but the thing is, it is not funny nor insightful.

I believe a certain unique character is required for humour. Some people is just not funny no matter how hard they try. Trust me on this.

Sorry for being harsh on her or anything; but this is just my personal and honest opinion. If you are fine with her then you could always thumbs up for her.

Cheers.

Thanks very much on the comment...it help

P5 involves some calculations. I don't think she would read off her own calculations. Personality problems does not really matter to me. I'm only concerned about whether she would cover the whole syllabus or not. At the end of the day students themselves have to work hard to achieve what they want.
