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.
