Hey, CNVERY. I have decided to do BA and from what I have heard they will make you fail the paper even if u pass it because they want money. They will force the student to retake. I need help from someone inside.

I'm from UTAR and I can tell you that is not true. UTAR exams are usually more difficult compare to other uni so maybe that's why you think they will fail you because they want money. And ya, it's different in UTAR because once you fail a subject, you have no choice but to retake the semester, you can't resit the paper.

So, its true that the exams are tough compare to the tutorial given. Oh my life is going down the drain. Its the same cost to take up the whole semester right?

hi guys, have a few questions ( and might be a lil sensitive )

im planning on continuing in accounting after finishing my pre-u, and i'm eyeing on few universities currently, nottingham ( god damn that fees ), IUKL, and UTAR.

1. Are the lecturers good? ( i.e do more than just teach for the sake of teaching )

2. How is the markings regulated? ( nottingham have "boards" that re-marks the
students paper so lecturer's personal issue cant affect the final score )

3. hows the club and co-curricular activity there? active?

4. facilities, from 1 to 10, which? ( i.e library, sports facility, gymnasium, classroom, lecture / gathering halls etc )

5. Is the student council active? do they hold influence over the university's administration and decision incase of suggestions or disputes?

6. last but not least... is there any...racism issue? my example being, i've seen in some environment where some of the same color tends to group together, bias / favoritism among peers-peers / lecturer-student, and whatnot. believe me, i don't have problem with this question. just curious

thats it for now. thanks

1. So far I think the lecturer are okay, you can always see them on consultant hours if you're not clear with your notes.

2. You can appeal for remarking iirc.

3. I would say quite active, there's alot of activities going on from time to time.

4. For facilities, I personally hate it. Im from SG long campus and the most I would rate it is 4/10. It's really THAT bad. The library is alright but is always packed and the aircond is not very cold, not sports facility at all, there is a gym I've never been to, classroom is sometimes hot sometimes cold but the hall is alright.

5. Im not sure about this.

6. Uhm, I don't think so but for your info in UTAR it's almost 90% chinese and 10% other race.
