Hi!Thanks for the info
I'm still quite new to the "uni system". So don't mind answering a few questions of mine
1) How does the "registration of subjects" work? I can register any subject before a particular semester?
2) Are there exact dates for long or short semesters?
3) How long is a long/short semester?
Thanks

1. You can register for any subject within your course, provided you meet or exceed the requirements for a given subject (E.g. some year 2 subs have year 1 prerequisites, some do not).
2. Depends on the course. I'm in the BPsych course; one year runs thus: long-short-long semester. First semester (long) starts 2nd week of January (usually), 2nd sem (short) end of May, 3rd sem (long) end August/beginning September.
3. Long semester : 15 weeks; 14 weeks lectures/tutorials, 1 week final examinations (Mid-term examinations week not counted, nor is the week-long BPsych study break)
Short semester : 8 weeks, 7 weeks lectures/tutorials, 1 week final examinations (Again, mids and study break weeks not counted; some classes go on during mids week, some do not, depends on your subject/lecturer)

True also.But the reason why i'm looking out for these books is that i'm a pure science STPM student with totally no knowledge on Economics and Accountancy.
Would definitely be much easier if i can get the books which will be taught, as i can look through it first and perhaps learn one or two in advance.Would definitely try to avoid "getting lost" with all the new stuffs i have to learn.Guess most of the terms and concepts are "kacang" for other art students

Ask your seniors; without information about your course I can't tell you anything else that's useful.
