QUOTE(MultiUniverse @ Nov 20 2019, 06:01 PM) Hopefully I can get 4 days of classes for next sem. Will the next semester subjects be automatically given to us like the first sem or do we have to manually register? Yeah all freshies didn't know about this and only got our timetable on Sunday. Nearly went to school early on Monday morning to sort this out. Suggestions for people handling the orientation, maybe have a debrief sessions after every orientation to know the mistakes and stuffs and to jot it down for the next batch of OCs so the same thing won't happen for the next intake? Don't get me wrong I appreciate you guys spending your own personal time for the orientation although it wasn't perfect  Next trimester will have to register ownself. How's the first week?

First week pretty good I'd say, have some pretty boring and lame lecturers as well as interesting ones. Overall I'd say I'm glad I chose MMU despite it not being so popular among my circle of friends. I have another question, are the exam barrings for not having 80% attendance carried out strictly? Or is it okay to say maybe have a 70% attendance? Is it carried out automatically or do the lecturers choose who to bar? I plan to skip maybe 1-2 weeks of classes for CNY, which according to my calculations puts my attendance at a bare minimum to achieve 80%, but I'm afraid that if I have any emergencies and need to skip class for whatever reason it may drop below 80%.

Depends on the lecturer. Fyi, barring policy states all lecturers are strictly required to exercise the barring practice. Lecturer will have the option to bar or unbar. Skip 2 weeks for CNY? The sooner you forget about long holidays for CNY the better This post has been edited by Human Nature: Nov 20 2019, 08:42 PM

The sooner you forget about long holidays for CNY the better  If say I do somehow get only 70% attendance, and the lecturer barred me, does it mean I have no way out other than to retake?? Do long CNY breaks really don't exist in MMU? Not even 1 week?

Any killer subjects? 4 core/electives + 1 MPU is the norm Or if there is no killer ones, 5 core/electives are still okay Depends on you to decide whether you can carry them or not

Will it be increased to 5 in the future or those are optional for people who wants to graduate faster? Also do MPU scores contributes to our CGPA?

Best is to follow the pre-determined schedule and you will be fine ie. dont fail and retake. The truth is, I am not sure if MPU contributes to CGPA  Best is to ask your lecturer directly.

I have seen many student try to cramp 1st and 2nd year and they got burnt.

It's crazy that even if you applied for LOA, the Finance Division will still charged you for annual fee (University Resource & Student Activity) like other active student even though you have MC given by the doctor. Because of that I just wasted 1k+ just like that in order to continue my studies next year.

Now already divided into smaller amount for each trimester. This post has been edited by derthvadar: Dec 18 2019, 11:36 PM
