Done the FIT 1029 Assignment 2? Not sure when I should give up on it and pray there is time for discussion tomorrow

I took FIT2018 and I never regret it. I still remember my time compared to the previous 2 sem which has much more tutorial that guide you while my year requires you to actually research your way to implement the solutions. While I find the postgrad student hardly can provide any good advice, google has more than enough resources that will guide you through that unit.

Does paying a lot for uni fees means that you should be spoon fed with solution to assignment problems? We are in uni now, research are part of our learning life now especially in IT field. I am actually glad that I was given a challenging assignment instead of assignment which I can easily score by just copying from the textbook, after all when you enter the working world, you WILL be spending your time researching for solution again, that time are you going to whine about how people are not guiding you? In fact, I actually find exams useless for most IT subjects as it does not fully test a student's ability to apply what they learn.

Trial and error, that is what we have been taught since the early days of our IT life in Monash. If you have no initiative to put effort to research,understand and apply then you have yourself to be blamed.

Good luck in your final year project as depending on your project, Google is your only source for information. Googling the right way

I couldn't agree more with the bolded statement and also the rest. I, myself took FIT2018, after quackpack took his. Yes, I do agree it was a little tough during the final assignment. My team mates and I were busting our asses out till the late nights in campus trying to get those machines working the way they should be. My tutor was practically not helping, the tutor wasn't even sure of my questions. So what did we do? Google of course. Oh, and trips to the library to get more books on that particular issue. That's the way you should do it.

But do I regret taking that unit? No. Why? Because where's the fun in learning when you can't get all these challenges? And this actually helps you get ready for the upcoming working life. You don't expect your working days to be relaxing also, right? At least you'll be getting used to the environment earlier.

And again, no one is going to spoon feed you in uni, it's already a known fact. No employers outside will spoon feed you as well. If you're going to depend 101% on your tutors and lecturers, I can say it will be the same no matter which uni you go. You're an IT/Comp Sc student, you should know how to Google and research for your own information. Lecturers and tutors are just there to guide you with the best they can, don't forget, they're not perfect but they shouldn't be VERY bad as well.

yeah i completed it, but for 3© i dont understand it. So i just simply write. lols.

i think our batch was the last batch to get his own notes since the current batch didnt got it.he was also complaining we didnt appreciate what he did, as some take a whole pile n then at the end of the class left it on the chairs

It's really too bad that the current batch no longer gets the copy.

lol, thanks for spoiling things for us

but yeah, wish he made more of an effort with us, seemed like he had a lot of experience in the financial sector.

He actually has a lot of experience in the financial sector, though as quoted by many, boring in lecture but he is rather friendly and easy to approach. It's just too bad that he is leaving.

We are less than a month from the finals. Good luck Monash students.

SENIORS!!! Need your help for AIS. Any idea where we can get past years? Sucks how they expect us to go about the finals without a guide :/ The amount of theory we'd have to study is massive. T_T

ouh, i heard someone last year posted some past years on facebook, anyone of you have any idea where exactly?

Can anyone shed a light on how the industrial training for engineering students in Monash are like? What is the proportion of engineering students opting for industrial training rather than taking some of the 3rd/4th year modules?

Thank you!

Added on May 15, 2012, 12:23 amhi! i'd really appreciate if someone could clarify the following.

question - 1 :

All New international students are required to endorse their student pass upon arrival in Malaysia. In order to endorse their student pass, the student would have to submit the following within 4 days of arrival in Malaysia.

source :

http://www.monash.edu.my/advancement/pso/a...r-Services.html

obtain your student-id card. You need to bring the following documents for verificationpurposes - 1 ) Completed student ID card request form and 2 ) Passport.

source : page 4 of orientation guide

http://www.monash.edu.my/Student-services/...e_Sem120121.pdf

i really didn't get it. if they are collecting my passport then how i am suppose to bring it for orientation? the orientation guide says bring the passport to orientation for photo-id service.

question - 2 :

For international students, validate your course enrolment form at the Prospective Students Office – International Student Pass (PSO-ISP) section before submitting it to your school’s Course Management Office.

source : page 4 of the same orientation guide

do i need to collect and validate this course enrolment form from the pso-isp before orientation ( as soon as i arrives in malaysia ) and bring this validated form to orientation?

Industrial training is a compulsory part of the engineering course.
It is completed during the summer break ( Nov to Feb ).

i think its best that you ask at monash sunway facebook page

Guys, how long does it take to walk to Sunway University from Monash Sunway by foot? LOL

Thanks!

5-10 minutes.

yeah...they've provided me with a satisfying answer. thanks, anyway.
