not sure bout supplementary paper, but to review your paper, you gotta fill up a form at the course management office asap, within next week only
iinm.

They sent us a mail about it, should be in your student mail

hahaha well done!!

congrats

ahah, dont worry dude, first year's pretty simple. just be consistent when you start the course and can score edi

i dont think so, iirc, had a friend who took lan subjects on top of her 4 subjects, the classes are usually late in the evening iinm.

on a side note: wts

btw1200 business law textbook + a ton of notes(pretty much guarantees you a pass, unless you're really dumb and can't figure out how to copy, cos its open book )

anybody here have any idea what's the procedure to get exempted from taking LAN subjects? i passed both malaysian and islamic studies when i took them back in Taylors during A-Levels.

going into second year and i still haven't applied for the exemptions, reckon that might be a problem?

me, stupid application problems ><"

basically ended up bugging the pso, and they finally let me in through the single unit non-award path after the appeal where you basically take the same subjects where but have to get an average of 60-70 iirc. they'll let you into the degree starting from next sem if you fulfilled the requirements(average 60-70 and no fails).

i know only one other person who had to do the same. sucks cos your future in the uni is not 100% guaranteed(and might be a bit awkward cos all the other kids around you got accepted into the full degree, made me feel a bit inferior tbh, also made me work that much harder), but if you're prepared to work your arse off, go for it, if they offer it to you la.

good luck man, hope you get in

ps: what course did you apply for btw?

I highly doubt it, monash lower than taylor's.... doesn't seem right :/

According to the comments, the ranking is based on a study about the universities web presence.

anybody here have any idea how to get those part time research assitant or data entry jobs on campus?

reckon you better check with taylors regarding that man. it depends though if the uni accepts foundation students, try contacting the uni's you're interested to go to and check with them directly.

For stuff like this it's better if you contact the uni directly. The people who visit this thread are mostly comprised of students and i've never seen a monash staff actively participate in this forum.

You know what to do, your answer's only a phone call away

by right you should be able to. Btw monash students, you can start collecting your vouchers now, got mine today

just head to te finance counter.

info regarding the shuttle bus service:

http://www.sunway.com.my/shuttleservice/

current students can start collecting it now, but most would only be collecting it once semester begins.

good cheap food(besides on campus): the nearest would be lunchbox(reasonable prices i suppose, though some of my friend say its overpriced),and rock cafe whcih is a food court sort of place. and then there are a couple more like orange and pink which are close to rock cafe. prices are reasonable i would say, anything between rm7-15 a meal.

orientation: No hazing rituals, orientation in monash is a pretty tame affair, attend the first session and your course session at least. Don't wanna miss out on any vital information

not sure about arts courses, but there are pretty much 30-40% foreign students on campus if im not mistaken. Its a pretty big amount and international students at Monash tend to assimilate very well with the local kids.

As for a bank, the two big ones are maybank and cimb, but only maybank has an atm and a cash deposit machine on campur so that helps. But i do notice some foreign students using al-rajhi bank and a couple others, not sure why, easier to transfer money or something. But yeah maybank should be just fine, might wanna check up on their procedure for international students to open accounts. It can be quite a pain from what I hear.

As for a fiction section... unfortunately, no, its just two shelves... and thats it... ><"

Streets in the evening, should be pretty safe, plenty of people and cars, as for going jogging, i do see the Sunway football club guys jogging around the area in the evening. Mind you, lots of cars and there's no proper track but otherwise, it's not too bad.

ahahha if you wanna check out the library just go there and check it out man. lol.

as for student's life, do you mean all the activities and shit? @.@
for that you're better off just randomly googling blogs, doubt there's any dedicated blog that chronicles student life in monash

are you planning to do 3 subjects for all your semesters from now on? @.@

quite mafan if you're just starting 2nd year. but if 3rd year, not too bad i suppose.

Not sure about the requirement, but ielts is easy, don't worry about it, as long as you can speak decent english the oral portion should be find.

The only pain in the ass is the essay portion(i'm guessing most of us haven't written an essay in ages ), besides that, the test isn't hard at all. Just get an ielts practice book and see for yourself. Or google test samples online, i'm sure there're plenty.

should be fine, do try and avoid any grammatical errors when you write, iinm that would affect your grade quite a bit.

Just read books and practice writing in english(make it a habit to avoid using colloquial slang even when typing in forums) for the next couple of months and you should be fine. Would definitely help a lot once you're in Monash as well, since first year subjects require quite a lot of writing

HD = high distinction, equivalent to an A

twinning, i don't think so, but i do know 1 or 2 people who have transfferred to melbourne uni from Monash Engineering.

All depends on how hard you study, it's not gonna be a cakewalk at VU either(I've seen their syllabus for commerce, somewhat similar to ours, but they seem to have some professional development type subjects as well). End of the day, you're gonna be doing a degree, it's not gonna be easy. If you come with a planning to coast along with mediocre results, you will fail. But if you decide to give it your all, you probably won't.

The courses in Monash imo seem to reward those who put in constant effort. Reckon it's the same everywhere else....
