If I had the chance, maybe!! Since I clearly qualify for it because the Uni expects that it wouldn't be problematic for me.

Most uni courses are very modular actually. If you need to find a link between subjects also kinda hard nowadays.
You just need bare minimum pass to move on to graduate.

If you can progress to Year 2, I don't think you have any issue moving on and graduate with 2nd or 3rd class honours.

Depends on the programme. Computing has a very specific standards to follow (although some universities don't really do that) and has pre-reqs for subjects.

But yeah - nowadays it's easy to coast by on just a pass to accumulate 2.0 CGPA and graduate. It also depends on the university system on failing. Does the repeat module replace the failed module's CGPA or not. If it doesn't then it is super difficult to just coast by.

hmmm because I noticed alot of uni following the 50% internal assessment (assignments, projects, labs) 50% external.

i doubt most students will fail the course la especially private uni.
Group with correct coursemate. 3 years very easily pass by one la

Er. not true especially in the area of Game Development and Computing. Well, I can only speak for my school. We do have a 5-10% failure rate. While some universities may balk at that high failure rate or frown upon students failing, for us the main reason why we started the school in the university I am at is because we wanted to produce talents for the industry. There is no point in passing students that cannot survive in the industry. There are some poor students who will eventually pass but it's due to their tenacity (and either parents or us pushing them to excel) eventually.

It's a delicate balancing act. Yes, I am aware that in some universities, having students fail is bad for business. Apparently some students (and parents) prefer to go to a uni where they are all but guaranteed passes. However, that is not our philosophy. We help students not because it is good for business. We do it because we believe that students can excel but just require a push. So push we will! But we will never help students to merely pass by lowering the standards and benchmarks. The standards and benchmarks will always remain or even sometimes increase.

I am sure there are some private institutions out there who will never compromise on quality and standards as well.

UTM doesn't allow straight into Degree, right? I know their degree programmes are 4-years.
