hahahaha. management i didn't study but dunno how I pass. chui sui chui sui! my programming really died. lotsa lotsa pseudocodes, and ask us write many many codings and explain explain and flowchart! Most of us cannot finish it. the hardest paper this sem compared to pass year papers. Gila!

Isit need to get principal for PA for Degree courses??

when got intake beside may ? and all new student all MUST 100% study at kampar ?

Next January. Even if they do have intakes in Aug/Sept, its usually those courses which are not so popular.

If you check their advertisements/website, you will see a list of courses in their respective campuses. They still offer courses in KL and PJ. But i guess sooner or later they will have to shift to Kampar.

Intake besides May might happen sometime, but that is if there are still alot of empty slots for certain subjects only.. Do remember that september intake might not have the course that you want..

As far as i know, not all new student MUST 100% study kampar, some get to choose, some not, but depends where are you going to do your first year degree..

For example, i am taking mechanical engineering, and next year i will be doing my first year at FES at Setapak, so they say that they wanna let me adopt to the KL lifestyle first, so they put me at PJ campus loh..

Hope that helps..
*Hug back pillow and cry*

For those who considering the August/September intake,
please note that PTPTN can only be applied on January & May or round that, if I remember correctly.

LOL @ CaptWong's last sentence.
Don't cry~

eh... i wan ask ask, need wear formal or informal when to class ? perhaps what should and what should not wear ?

sure informal la.... College/University is u pay money 1 ler.... Not they give u salary ler. When working, u only no have right to decide. -.-

In Sg Long, IINM you need to wear formal on mondays.

In FES, most students just wear normal..like Tshirt and jeans. If you intend to stand out, they dont stop you from wearing shorts Not supposed to but isnt strictly enforced.

i saw some girls wear heavy makeup, miniskirts, revealing belly button, a little bit gothic and boots. And still can roam around FICT. so i dun see any problem with that. LOL

The university did set the rules, but heck who wanna follow that. We are not any local uni and sure we have much freedom there. As long as you dont kill a person in uni, then its alright. Attire shouldnt be a big issue in UTAR.

But, in FES, most students are involve with lab work. Due to safety, its always better to wear proper attire for lab work. I have seen girls going into the lab with mini skirts and sandals when there are no lab assistant around. They might said, "nothing gonna happen wan la", but heck accidents are unpredictable. If a few drop of concentrated acid/alkali drop onto their legs, I bet they will shout for their mom.

basically can wear anyting u like under the sun.. formal only required for some assignment presentation tho.. but i recommend wearing long pants, khakhis/jeans , sneakers, shirt any t-shirt or watever shirt lah.. You can wear slipper/sandals and short pants too if u want, but sometimes MR Weasly will be around and he will scold those who wear short pants 1, some kena, some din kena also.. Some even kena chase back home..

sometime i see in exam, girls wear mini-skirts and all those thing.. they're eskimo izzit.. i wear sweater , long pants also can feel the cold, they gila 1..

bcoz sg long got case before?

hello juniors ..haha... how r u all? My dad sent me this link and I juz had a quick browse-thru, so I'm gonna put my 2 cent in hehe..

FYI, I'm currently pursuing 2-yr Master of Biotech (Food Science & Tech) at RMIT, Melbourne

Yeah, I was like you guyz, UTAR sux, rite? Lolz.. in terms of facilities (I mean Setapak coz I've never been to Kampar), UTAR wasn't that good and was not up to standard, I expected a CAMPUS life with balanced life style.

if u talk about academic-related skills and job-related skills (FYI again, I worked in a pharmaceutical factory for 2 months b4 I came to Melbourne) such as presentation skill which is important in presenting ideas, procedures and all sort thing when u r in work or when u wanna present your reports and discuss with other international students.. UTAR gave everything u needed Frankly speaking, I can ensure u guyz UTAR syllabuses are within international standards. I'm glad my lecturers in UTAR teached me everything that is applicable in my job and Master course in Australia. Imagine, when u're studying in a class with people from all around the world, Mali, Macau,Taiwan, China, Maritius, India, Australia, Arabian countries, and etc u may think "Oh, I'm frm UTAR, a lousy Uni, I won't b as good as others" then u r wrong! As a second-upper class grad, I'm happy with what I've been equipped with, I may not b the best in the class but I would say I am competitve enough for the Master course

the problem is the students' attitude, they were always hoping for tips, hints and etc.. low initiative to learn and to explore more abt what's happening out of the textbook or the exams, for example biotech world, new technique for vaccination such as DNA vaccination, new genetically-modified crop that can be a new source for biofuel and stuff

Ask yourself, have u done your reports, assignments, practicals seriously? Have u learnt the proper skills to write your report? do you reference or in-text ref your reports properly? What do u actually have to write for your intro, material & methods and blabla to make the whole report flows? How to do a good presentation?.. these little small things are very very useful n are goin to b crucial in the future, either u r goin to work or further study. And u were given so many chances to practice but u were complaining at that moment, which myself had neglected as well(not to say totally) LOlz... if not I'll suffer here like my friends from Macau and Taiwan, they had a hard time with English coz their degree was Chinese-medium. Furthermore, one of them DOES NOT know how to do a proper referencing,it's kinda disgrace for a graduated undergrad student who should have familiarized it when she was doin thesis or some kinda project, and she DOES NOT know how to look for journals and etc etc etc.. Trust me, u will get annoyed when ppl started asking u the things they should have known...

So now, take up the initiative, do your homework or researches first b4 start throwing questions to your lecturer(s). I think they will b more than happy to answer questions from a prepared student Over and out!

Cheers!

Regards,
Kelwin

Rape/molest is common everywhere. Hence, it depends on how you attract the wolf. If you walk to uni/ walk quite a distance from where you park to uni, then try to prevent wearing something that are too revealing. And the best is to get a companion to walk together with you. If you drive straight to into the uni compound, then its much safer for you to wear whatever you like. Haha.

i definitely agree to what you said and salute you....our senior.lolz.for what it's worth, UTAR really try to equip us with alot of things. and the lecturers are really good. for example, my fyp supervisor, Dr. Woo Kwan Kit...Man, she's really good and pro with her stuff. as long as u're in protein and proteomics world and u touch with chromatography stuff, you kenot escape from her..she's really good in all these stuff. i'm glad i chose her as my supervisor as she's really demanding and she's expect u to do all the stuff alone.like she said, choose her topic...it's 1man show.but u'll really learn alot from all these stuff.some people just go for the lecturers that is very lenient and teaches u a to z in fyp..but what's the point of doing fyp then?my advice...choose carefully..lecturers in utar are really that good.and u just have to know how to dig that knowledge from them

Some real life experience here eh..
I love your words bro, really hope that the thread starter will see this..

Good luck for your masters~!

YAY! Thanks for the enlightment Kelvin. We need some consolation, kena bash a lot the uni..

tl;dr lulz, jk la, i read all, this is wat i call human post.

TS, u are a biasing person who always think you are right


lol at my english , i wouldnt mind, its internet after all, and i really really really hate your first post, despite partially of it is true, seriously i dont like UTAR due to the management and certain sh1tty lecturer where the whole lecture group dont like him.

so about the no choice stuff, its not true at all. all the stpm student in my course is very smart, of course most of them didnt manage to apply for local U, however we know one thing which is the earthman stuff. since u are so smart, u should know wat i mean. UM is great isnt it? wooo~ best UNI in malaysia. look at the ranking now.

How are u gonna compare the campus in KL, sg long etc with a long established college like KTAR? futhermore its only a temporary campus. Go see what developement will UTAR bring foward in future at kampar. U will never know.

be it u like it or not, no one give a dam, UTAR student is always proud of the uni they are studying because we are studying there and we know well
