Just want to clear the air here:

Your transcript will not state the campus of graduation. It will, however, state your subject codes and name of course, which the HR dept can use to infer the campus that you attended.

Does a lower entry requirement equate to lower quality graduates? Think.

BravoZeroTwo, from the phrasing of your questions, it is obvious that you are trying to reinforce your personal views between local and foreign campuses.

Yes it would differ, to an extent. But then again, even Monash campuses within Australia would differ (eg. Clayton vs Caulfield vs Berwick). Whether the delivery of the course if better depends on your learning style - Aus appears to promote more discussion (simply because local students tend to shy away from participation).

Personally, I feel that the quality/ insights of the lecturers make minimal impact at an undergraduate level, especially for a generic degree in commerce. But then again, your perception becomes your reality.

hmm... i thought portal have a section for discussion although it is view able by the lecturer...

Agree as I have friend in Berwick for an obvious reason. Thanks for the clarification here. On the other hand, does it matter much if one graduates from other local unis be it private or public for a generic course such as this at bachelor level ?

didn't Notice there's thread for Monash.
Count me in. Comp Sc

Yes and no. Good students are likely to excel regardless of the environment. In a lesser university, it could be more of a challenge. The reputation of the university alone helps to land interviews due to HR bias, even if the candidates are of the same quality.

computer science is all about maths especially maths without numbers.
do not get into comp sci if your math is weak; instead go for IT.
computer science is rarely about programming (programming is IT once again).
there is a reason why comp sci in monash have a generally high failing rate for first year units and it is due to the weaker math background from most students.

As for how lectures here are different than MUA, you have access to MULO where you can watch podcast for the lectures on MUA side.
Materials are the same for the same unit by the way and there are high amount of contact between the staff here and staff at MUA for each unit.

There is rumor saying that the IT department in monash Malaysia isn't that great anymore as most of the lecturers left?
Can you confirm this?

Lecturers come in and go in pretty much all institution. There is no longer IT in Monash Sunway anymore btw, so that contribute to the change in staff too. Comp sci wise, it is pretty much not affect and seems like Engineering side will handle the math units for it to be better as the previous math lecturers were part timers.

ok

IT dept? u mean school of IT?

Yup, that's true. Many great lecturers left, due to the management and racist.
That's what one of the lecturer told me.

The only really great one that left for me during my years there were Dr Belkathir and he left to go back to France (during my 3rd year). The only lecturer I know who leave the tutorial like a boss if you don't prepare for it or make you stand up in lecture if you are late or do not pay attention.

For the racism thing, that is new considering current lecturers are all pretty multi-national compared to last time being majority Chinese lolx.

ps: who was the lecturer that told you about it O.o

Well what about Computer Science programs of other universities like Sunway or Inti? They too follow the same lineage? Thanks for the input there by the way.

Does anyone of you know when can I visit monash sunway to look around the university?

not sure about those now but back then (around 2006-2007), the programs from inti/ kdu (i did not check Sunway since it is near Monash) focus too much on the programming aspect where their CompSci program feels like an IT/ IS degree than a CompSci degree.

Anytime when it opens

Anytime my friend Just ask the staffs at the place where they talk and advise new/potential students and parents (building 2) to give you a tour.

Monash graduate here. I've had the honour of being able to study at Monash in Malaysia and at the Clayton campus. I have to agree with you that the quality of teaching doesn't necessarily differ across the campuses but it's actually all down to personal preferences. Yes, the Aussie campuses tend to focus more on participation. Again, this is probably down to their culture. From my experience they are more relaxed in their teaching styles and also tend to reward students if they can see that you've tried your best etc. Malaysian campus, work your ass off and you still get mediocre marks. It's the cultural difference. Asians tend to be more demanding when it comes to quality of work. To think about it, when I was in Aus the students would be amazed at how professionally done our lab reports were. In comparison, they'd scribble stuff on a piece of paper and pass it up as their lab reports. Plus don't be surprised when our level of written English is actually higher than the local Aussie students.

not anytime la sundays not available unless got open day. saturday i think half day only.

yeah their reports/literature review are wayyyy more simple and they can get full marks for a simple report. it's really shocking to see their quality of work compared to malaysians.

most sunway monashians that have had the opportunity to go for exchange to melbourne will most likely have their best semester there academically

Any business school seniors here can give advice bout whether these 3 subjects would be considerably easy to get HD, in your opinion ?

Units: Commercial banking, Trade finance and foreign exchange & International financial management

If you have any other recommendation for relatively easy 2nd/3rd year units, please do so as I need 3 either 2nd/3rd yr electives, I prefer to have less assignment/assessment that would take up a lot of time(e.g presumably marketing units) and more towards calculation based(e.g financial management). Thanks in advance
