alot of my buddies complain about the utm space program....for further studies...part time......its a waste of time and very hard to pass and lecturer tend to fail u...the admin is also useless....just imagine 1 credit rm150......very hard to get credit transfer for diploma students who want to do degree..........

Wow, UTM space program?
WTF is that.

I support you. I have the same feeling as well.

Just want to share my experience. I was enrolled in the program after my diploma i think 9 years ago. The lecturer was lousy and yet the fee was soo expensive. In my digital electronics subject, you want what ? The digital lecturer (a PhD holder) can't even answer our simple digital logic question. I was very dissapointed with him.

All of my seniors from that program only managed to get CGPA between 2.8-3.0 only. WTF!

depends on what course u take. some courses are very successful, and are almost getting full accreditation from LAN, while some other courses are just "menumpang" the success of others.

SPACE is the the part time tertiery education component organized by UTM. courses are taught using modules from fulltime courses, and usually taught by lecturers in that particular course.

i used to teach SPACE for architecture, both degree and diploma components. i'd have to say, majority of students had problems with the whole part-time thing, especially when it involves courseworks, assignments and stuff that u just had to bring home. well, u cant avoid this in architecture, hence the high tendency to get lower marks or fail.

i dont have the bigger on other courses, maybe jeffblazed could detail up what his problem is.



and yes, it's quite expensive. but now SPACE has a competition from the open university, which also using the same scheme.

i am not the one with utm space my buddies are the one who did the space course in utm....it is veryhard to get credit transfer

very hard to pass(high students failiure rate)

are the engineering courses recognised by jpa and iem

lousy admin for kl and jb campus

so i dont encourage people to enroll in this course.....unless u have good pr skills and
cash so u can kowtim the lecturers......most of my buddies who finished the course in space utm...... kowtim the lecturer kow-kow........so pls do your degree at oum..........

just asking did elctrical engineering got accreditation for utm space? And how many years I need to complete degree for engineering course?

NEVER ENROLL IN SPACEUTM. The admin people are rude, the management problematic and you as a student will suffer. Money gone and what you get is poor service. You will regret enrolling there. As per my personal experience amongst many of my other peers.

right. let's do this again.

did you complain? can i have the complain issue number to follow up?

Kindly be advised, part time & distance learning programmes such as PJJ (Pendidikan Jarak Jauh) / PLK (Pengajian Luar Kampus) as offered by IPTAs (such as UiTM / UTM / UPM etc) are different as night and day as compared to flexible & open learning offered by IPTS such as OUM / WOU / AeU.

PJJ / PLK programmes offered by IPTAs are more rigid & structured in nature due to conservative learning & teaching pedagogies & mimicked the same structures as its fulltime programmes offered by the same IPTAs. This means, attendance is COMPULSORY for weekend classes (usually 4 times a month) or evening classes (daily basis). Assessment as the same for both part time & full time courses which includes attendance, assignments, quizzes and yes, mid-term & final exams.

As for flexible learning as offered by OUM / WOU / AeU, there are far more flexibility in terms of blended learning. This includes weekend classes (once or twice a month) which is not compulsory coupled with comprehensive online learning (learners even have options to do their course via 100% online learning without class attendance! ). Assessment is done via assignments, mid-term & final exam only.

One way or another, choose wisely which institutions suited your needs & time. Its all about time management.

wah like that also can one ? malaysian quality is going down the drains

It never surprise me. Money sex and more.

he is slandering. i mentioned about lawsuit and he's gone. probably some plant rooting for OUM or whatever and wanna play dirty.

well buddy, i guess you are right . sometimes better get the info from direct member . This is business world . Profits made in haram manner

UTM SPACE Engineering courses are the only part time courses recognized by the BEM.. check at their website

Just go to UTM la, IPTA is better than IPTS and UTM ranking is far greater than OUM.

you are extremely wrong..it is not about the place.. its about where are you AT! You know what UTM space sounded lousy..most ppl out there had terrible experience with them. For OUM , its proven that they are qualified enough to be one of the most PJJ learning centre. Luckily,i chose the right one.

first, get your facts right. UTM SPACE do not offer PJJ. OUM does. UTM SPACE offers part time programme.

two VERY DIFFERENT things.

I'm not sure about those part time degree/Long distance learning kind of stuff. But what I have observed is that IPTA graduate perform better than IPTS.

It is not the same thing? ok my bad then

That is your point of view and I respect that even it is not statistically right. Perhaps,you have seen IPTA graduates performing well than the IPTS does
