The thing with online subject registration, the way i see why they give 2 separate links for new intake students and also the older students is that
The management knows exactly the number of new intake students, lets say there are 200 of them. Thats why the school allocate 200 slots for them.
Then the older student, we assume there are 800 of them, those within their course structure, which gives us a total of 1000 students and 1000 slots needed. But the management realised there are
those students who have to retake, and there are those also who prefer to take subjects not in their course structure, which will compete for places with the older students.
I guessed its alright since the new student, having to adapt to a new life already, will not be able to compete with veterans. The problem lies with those students in the bold part and in this case im not blaming the students.Im putting the blame on the management. It doesn't seems to be a one-off problems, it has been happening for so many years and nothing seems to be changing.
(The students are to blamed if they can't reach the 80 % attendance and have to retake, but the school will do well to adapt to the situation.)
add: Few weeks ago before sem break after the 'alleged raping case' , each time we enter the school we'll have to flash our student ID at the guard( those walking) ,im not complaining bout this but giving it a thumbs up, however they implemented this with only one guard on duty? I saw it myself how cars without stickers are entering the school because the guard can't cope with all the traffics. And before you realise it, they only check on you for one week.
add again: I saw a new guard yesterday at the front gate, a small sized young girl in her early 20's.
There were a period of time when the school would place a security guard at each of the entrance, not for our safety, but apparently to give fines to students with shorts and slippers. But will the school have done all that for student's safety in mind?
Im not complaning. In fact in understand most probably every private university in Malaysia will be facing exactly the same issues. Thing is, there's really nothing we can do to get our message across?
