Dead links from ACCA V6 are not copied to here.
Anymore better lecturers to recommend? I have added some new lecturers in this list while I read across ACCA V3, V4 and V5.

This post has been edited by notmycupoftea: Feb 25 2012, 03:33 PM

HI,

Does anyone know how is P7 Mr Goh's teaching at Sunway and Joey Wong at KDU?

Are any of them good??

Notmycupoftea,

Can you please provide some explanation on why you think the recommended lecturers are good?

What is your basis to support your recommendation?

Shouldn't you add some notes to explain to the users?

This post has been edited by student2: Aug 20 2011, 03:39 AM

most of the recommended lecturers are copied from ACCA V6
some lecturers' name are removed from the list, because they are no longer teaching in Msia, or no longer teaching the papers.


newly added lecturers are:

F1:
Miss Sunita (PAAC)
Since Ms Chang Shew Leng is no longer teaching this paper, I don't know who to recommend.
and it happened that I saw people recommending Ms Sunita for F2 and F3, so I thought putting this lecturer's name 1st until ppl there's someone else to be recommended by LYN ACCA students.

F3:
Pung Siau Wei (Kolej Gemilang)
I was her earlier students in CAT financial papers, she's really a great lecturer in the sense that she's inspiring and passionate. she covers the whole syllabus (explained IAS well) and kept practising past year papers with us until we are so familiarised with the paper.

F4:
Sanjeetha (KSA)
I was her student for my law paper. Her teaching is very lively, many jokes, covers syllabus well. she's a lot of examples to explain, so u will understand and remember the facts more firmly. she'll do a lot of the past year questions with students, and the way she does the questions is very unique- the way to develop the answer, the flow of the answers, the persuasiveness of the answers.

F7:
Keith Farmer (Coolly's comment #366)

P2:
Spencer Cheah (ks_fruits's comment #2543, #2546. tzxsean's comment #2549, CalvinKS's comment #2551)

P4:
Oviyan (suggestion by sjacca #1964, lengleng82's comment #1966)
and I noticed the link given by sjacca is no longer working, but i found other oviyan's teaching, http://www.screencast.com/t/5KuzAmJp


P5:
It's sad that I can't find Chow Kim Tai's name in any college. Andrew Pang doesn't teach this paper anymore.
Chan Tze Kang- students recommended this lecturer for P4, but he doesn't teach P4 now as far as I know (pls correct me if i am wrong) but teaching P5. and I found that:

any good lecturers for P5? pls recommend.

I think Chow Kim Tai teaches PT in crescendo JB.

check it out.

Added on June 27, 2011, 6:23 pmFor F2 a fairly good lecturer will be Mr. Alex Chan in PJ/KL area.

I think he teaches F1 aswell.

Pros: Very dedicated, passionate, and tries to bring in IRL examples to make CMA more lively.

Cons: There are parts of the subject where he is not that great at and that poses a slight problem. And sometimes he might not be that receptive/open to student opinions.

This post has been edited by student2: Aug 20 2011, 03:38 AM

as in Penang, Spencer Cheah teaches P5 as well

Hi,

Philip Woo is teaching in Taylor's College now. [in case u all r looking for him]. i'm not sure how good he is =))

thanks for the info. list updated

so spencer is good at teaching P5 too?

wow!! thanks for the precious info! i believe that a lot of students are still looking 4 him.
i nvr attend his class b4, but all my seniors and even other lecturers also praised him

nice work ...

not sure...just going to attend his class tis coming July

oh good. remember to to give us feedback

Anyone attended Navzar's F7 and Low Chin Ann's F5 classes before?

Want to know their teaching styles, attributes and weaknesses as compared with other lecturers.

So far never read much comments for the two lecturers above for the subjects listed above.


Btw, Low Chin Ann's F8 class is quite good.

Pros
He prepares his notes based on PYQ answers.

If you are weak in writing; he practises to write with you.

Records lectures if you miss some.

He breaks difficult concepts into smaller understandable parts.

Will use some flow-charts and diagrams to give overall picture.

Easy going and reasonably open/friendly to students.


Cons
Quite boring.

Not much IRL examples to relate to subject.

Doesn't practise much PYQ during normal classes.

This post has been edited by student2: Jul 7 2011, 01:23 AM

Philip Woo is very good. Interesting teaching style and keep motivating the class. Thumbs up!

Again wish to find out how Navzar teaching. How true this http://acca.kaplan-financial.com.cn/team/ article will be?

waa..v7 already!
anyway..im from uitm shah alam.. answering ur question..
hmm.. i want to ask if it is really tough i take 3 paper per sem?
coz when i take cat i take 4 paper per sem... and kind of tired since uitm student need to take internal subject too...

Max can take 4 per sitting.

If you PT usually 1-2 also quite stressful because of other obligations (ie work) and the long weekend class hours.

If you FT 3 subjects is the normal workload; 4 subjects is quite tiring. Attending different classes (ie. different locations), revision and all.

The thing is no matter how many you take just make sure you avoid a burnout; because that really sucks especially if you get it close to exams.

Good job. but a bit biased not including sunway's lecturers except ms menon eh?

em, i nvr had chance to study in sunway. i only heard of ms menon
if u provide me with the info, which lecturer is good, good at what aspect, i will be sure to put the name in the list

so far 6 papers I only met 3 lecturers

F8 and P1 same lecturer
F5 1 lecturer
F7 F9 P1 1 lecturer (spencer cheah)

I think Sunway ACCA is going downhill.TBH i think most good lecturers actually started out in Sunway. But most of them already left probably due to better offers elsewhere. The only thing holding them together is Ms. Menon. If Ms Menon leaves as well, I think no one would actually go to Sunway unless you are the type where you get sucked in by the branding (i.e. platinium marketing status).
Thats why no matter what they will keep Ms. Menon by offering her really good terms.

I have been to Sunway and it has it pros and cons.

The environment in Sunway is really unhealthy because of the 'Kiasu' mentality. Lecturers will on a daily basis brainwash you to do well and to be World Prize Winners. The role of being an lecturer cum educator is replaced with the role of a motivator cum brainwasher.

There are cliques of peers who would even go to the extend of demotivating peers for personal advantage. There are only limited spots on the peak and only those on the peak are rewarded with scholarships. In the end its all part of the scheme to push up the bar and preserve their platinium status.

If you don't do well; lecturers will constantly remind you that the institution reserves the right to bar you from sitting the exam as part of the contractual agreement you have with the college (i.e. Letter of Acceptance/offer letter). I find this really ridiculous as you pay for tuition for an open exam but they reserve the right to restrict you from attending the exam which you paid to sit.

In effect; if you do well they take credit and if you don't do well they disclaim their responsibilities.

Doesn't seem like a legitimate contract of service.

With the addition of ICAEW; IMO; there is a real COI between the two brands they are representing but somehow no one seems to notice it. The current flow is that they will take you in after SPM to their CAT route then to their ACCA route and refeed you back to ICAEW. I mean if you have ACCA why bother to take ICAEW? They will tell you that it is more prestigious and it is a natural progression for you because most top accountants have the ICAEW. My skeptism is then why bother to recommend students to do ACCA when you say that ICAEWis better? Shouldn't you recommend ICAEW in the first place? Because that is the only way to maximize their profits in the expense of the students. It all makes sense in the end.

Its all a typical carrot and stick business affair. If you can adapt to it then you will prosper in this environment; if not you will find it disgusting.

Don't flame me or troll me because this is in fact the reality imo.

ThanatosSwiftfire's post #167
fastandfurious's post #799

joey wong is a guy

the name is misleading

about joey wong, he conducted P1 class (half semester) and P1 revision class in penang
I didn't go both
but I managed to get his notes for revision class
and he only used around 5-6 pages to cover almost 80% of Risk and Ethics of P1

and the note is short and easy to understand

http://www.adviceforyou.org.uk/blog/studyi...red-me-a-place/


Anyone got any info regarding F5 Ian Lim vs. F5 Low Chin Ann???

F5 Ian Lim:

This remark is made based on my previous experience 2 years ago. He focuses very much on calculations and this is his strong area. For the theory part he will usually provide the notes and explain a bit. The rest we have to read ourselves.

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.

Added on June 29, 2011, 1:25 pmthe main page list is not updated. my friend say andrew pang got lung problem. he rest for 1 year only start back. ian lim k or not?

yes I know he has lung problem, but if u check the timetable of KSA KL and KSA PJ, he is still teaching. only teach less.

KSA PJ P1-P7

KSA KL F4-F9

Anyone has Mc Orange timetable n fee structure july 2011?
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.

Added on June 29, 2011, 9:30 pmI'm sorry i was not refering to P5. I was just quoting the lecturer. If what you say is true; then she can have my benefit of doubt.

This post has been edited by student2: Jun 29 2011, 09:32 PM

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.

This post has been edited by Xeniouz: Jun 29 2011, 11:44 PM

U means Philip Woo is the best lecturer for P3? bcz as i gather on other comment most only comment that he is good in P1 but P3 seldom he the comment on him...

May I know which lecturer is good for P6 please?

P6 low chin ann from bandar kolej is good. my brother attend the class before. very clear explanation and practise a lot of past yr question.

a question from my friend.
she has P2 and P3 compulsory papers to be cleared, but she intends to do P2 next sitting and taking P3, P4 this sitting. does ACCA allow us to take option papers b4 we clear essential papers ?

Hi all i wanna sign up for FIA exam self study
with some account basics
is that possible for me to take 7 paper in 1 shot for coming december exam?

I think cannot. Alternatively, he can register for P2, P3 & P4 but skip the P2 exam. I might be wrong though. Anyone can clarify this?

I think he's right. I asked a few of my friends, they say cannot. You can skip exam though. I still don't understand why they would make P1,P2 and P3 exams on consecutive days in the new timetable.

Hi, i have a question regarding OBU degree. Is this degree Compulsory for new acca student?

I have doubt on this, as recently i went to an education fair and got this information from the exhibition staff. As i thought, last time this OBU degree is an optional for the students who completed their fundamental level and opt in to it.

Thanks in advance for all replies.

It is not compulsory for ACCA students. Its an option. You would need to decide before taking papers F7, F8, and F9. Once you taken any of the listed subjects it becomes a permanent choice.

ow so sad, so far all the answers i collected are the same- cannot.
coz haneef is leaving soon, my friend has no confidence to try Navzar Tara. she wanted to get feedback 1st then only do p2 next year.

would like to check, it's we need to clear all F1 - F9 paper before go to Professional (P1 - P3 and 2 other option)?

Guys n gals, need some advice...

for P2 Corporate Reporting, which lecturer to choose... I'm headache of this for few days.... help me please...


Yap Kok Wah (Collegue Bandar)
Joe Fang (KSA)
Spencer Cheah (FTMS)

spencer cheah is the best choice. notes are vy organised and easy to understnad. class not boring, he very friendly. i study f7 under him before.

yap i try before 1 sem. he never teach theory wan. always cannot balance calculation in class also.

joe fang i dont know, my friend said ok also.

Hello Miss Lam! It's so funny this is coming from you. HAHAHA!

haha~ icic, thanks for ur comments.. I was also thinking to take Spencer Cheah's class too, coz of weekend class.. which i think is better.. but i heard from my fren, FTMS got alot foreigner?

That is the general rule. But you can attempt papers from different modules simultaneously provided you attempt your backlog subjects from outstanding modules.

FTMS got many foreigner but still ok. the security man call uncle naga very effective. enforce all student must wear student card. so far i feel no problem. just sometimes the service bad. pay money also need to wait. i jsut go because lecturer onli.

about friendly part...it depends
sometimes I ask question the way he answered really not friendly

ok, thanks. Then i will take F6 & F7 this sitting, and F5 and any one from P1-P3 next sitting.

must have tactic one. must be specific qs then he ok. If you lady you must smile at him then ok. j/k!

lol..im a guy
im very specific leh

i ask him...he will say : no la u wrong / canot do like tat

sometimes will nvr get answer u wan

then u have to give up

my other gal fren oso kena b4 la

ya now that i think of it. my classmate also get like that. but he friendly can go lunch with him like that. ask question not friendly.

Thanks! beside bandar kolej, any other lecturer is good also? sunway college punya good anot?

sunway one i dunno. very expensive. ftms one also ok. mr. siva nair. he is marker for the paper.

Sunway's fee is at least 2 times the fee at KSA. Lecturer wise, it depends. Mr Goh P1 and P7 is quite good IMO, Rozi P6 is good as well, Menon P2 is the best there is, Dinesh P3 is quite good in spotting. P4 and P5 I shall refrain from commenting.

actually canot compare like tat
sunway has much higher lecture hours compared to other tuition provider

but quantity not equal quality.

Sorry what i meant was in addition to the general rule.

Actually I just heard some of my friends say 1.....not very sure..Maybe you should ask the person who attend his class..

before you decide which paper to take, you have to check the exam timetable..
