then not you la. when i was there and dr woo said stuff like that, got another girl, duno from BT or BM

Dr. Woo is never my choice. I have enough of protein during 2 years in Biochemistry. And I have no interest at all in protein purification. Lol.

true!!!!
with the way how dr.woo teaches.....
it's hard to find students who likes protein purification..........

dr woo's title this sem doesnt seem to be very much related to enzyme. one is fully ELISA and nothing else, the other is FTIR, GC.

went to ask her bout the title she is sharing with dr tang. quite applicable to the industry, but dont know can achieve or not.

yea..i heard some students were trapped in the lift today. why don't they have a emergency supply?

LOL...i guess you are right aki....sometimes lecturers do get tired when students approach them again and again...hehe...anyways..she told me she was busy...having a class in 15 mins time.

regarding dr. sit...haha..to me it's pretty difficult because he wants a unique plant which is not widely researched on. but im sure he'll have a back-up plant in case the students are facing difficulties

*sigh*
poor students who got trapped in the lift...
i even have to climb up to 5th floor to meet the lecturers...was a good exercise though...

tips for u, jenzl,
i saw some books in the library on medicinal plants and stuffs like that, maybe u can check it out.
Dr.sit said we can take fruits as sample as well. eg .mangosteen, banana...etc fruits won't be so difficult right?

Seriously, I have been taught by her for 3 sems. Hence, I don't want to complain anymore. She is a very knowledgeable lecturer, but her teaching method sucks. Haha. But you can always learn a lot from her when you interact with her in groups or individually. I have personally consulted her a few times on some chapters I dont understand, and she is willing to explain it detaily in a very friendly manner.

I was one of the guy trying to open up the lift door to get the students out. Hehe.

Taking Canadian Pre-U (CPU) 2nd semester now. Intend to take up Chemical Engineering next year. Need to hear TRUE comments about engineering course at UTAR; eg. facilities, lecturers' attitude, students' mentality, etc.

Hope to hear from current students of FES. No childish & meaningless bashing, please.

Thanks.

mm just wondering why go to utar since you are taking CPU ? O_O...go oversea if you can afford it .. >.< utar is no good imo ... just my 2 cent

IHave u thought of Sunway Monash? I've a friend doing chemical eng now.
But she told me that a few of their lecturers left Monash and went over to UTAR to teach...

Eventhough my house is just about 15km frm Sunway Monash, but not keen going there, because

(1) Very expensive ; I rather save money for Master degree in oversea,

(2) their 1st yr subjects are sort of basic and fundamental, just like the foundation program before we proceed to 2nd yr. My neighbor is having 1st yr engineering there, his comment: very dull & boring. He is eagerly looking forward to 2nd yr. (sound wasting time?)

Thanks for feedback.

1) .. erm i had the same thought as you are last time when i did my foundation .. " I rather save money for postgraduate". But now, I regretted my choice. To be honest, going oversea for your undergraduate is the best choice as you be able to study in oversea atleast 3 - 4 years . Through this time, you will pretty much get used to the new environment and in the mean time you can enjoy student life in oversea as undergraduate for the first two years will not be as hectic as postgraduate . Furthermore, you have opportunity to work there during summer break and eventually gain enuff points to apply for PR ... You cant do that when you are doing master in oversea which is only 1 -2 years ... seriously , .. it is better to go oversea for undergraduate ... +_+ I realyl regretted now haiz .. I save so much for my degree but now I do not know what kind of master do i want to take in oversea. .. = = such a predicament ...

2) .. erm, if you compare monash and utar, it is obviously monash has better reputation than utar and this is important as employer always look for student from higher reputation university ...
my fren who studying there told me that only the first year is easy ebcause they want you to decid what discipline you want to choose for your 2nd year .. Im referring to engineering course.. You will be exposed to all subjects from all engineering fields .... I dont think its a waste of time .. Monash syllabus is recognised by the world and it is within the top 100 universities in the world ... im sure it is better than utar ...

hey guy,i wanted to ask something about the final year semester break.i have been informed that we are going to have 3 months break after our final exam,is this true??i'm really surprised is 3 months,is really longer than my expectation.i am in 1st year 1st sem me so any seniour please kindly clarify with me please,thanks...

anyone been taught by Ms Alyster Wong or Dr Ramani? What do u think bout these 2 lecturers?

believe it or not....it's really a 3 mths holiday for UTAR students!!!!!
unless u have short sem...
but most of the bioscience courses dun have short sem

short sem is normally subjected to which course de leh??what is that short sem is all about de??

Its always easy during your first year. First year will only re-do your basic especially stuff you learned before during your pre-U.

Seriously dude, if you are financial capable, think about studying oversea. You will get more exposure over there and learn to be independent. If you are not keen on Monash, think of other uni that accept CPU. Its quite a waste since you have did CPU but choose to stay and do your degree locally.

And since its Engineering, why wanna do Master ? I heard its relatively the same between Degree and Master in Engineering. I'm not sure since I'm from the Bioscience stream.

I was taught by Dr. Ramani before . Herm, she is not those lecturer that a normal student would like to have. But she is quite helpful and friendly. She is my counsellor for 3 years liao. Every sem also have to see her. Haha.

Wow. Congrats. Haha. So you are working under Dr. Chew izzit ?

Ops, I am still waiting for the news. Dunno Dr. Kho is taking me for the metal accumulating bacteria project or not.

omg.....so fast? well congratulation then.
cancer cell if not mistaken Dr.Anthony and Dr Lim are doing them as well.
well i might be wrong since i din put any of them under my title. hehe....

Thanks for your kind comments.

Don't feel regret, I'm sure you do learn a lot from what you are doing now. Well, maybe we just feel that the grass at the other side is always greener.

Australia Monash has better reputation but its Sunway campus is only 10 years old, my friend told me Sunway Monash is famous for the business study. Utar is 6 years old, no idea how good/bad it is.

Just found out from an uncle who is in the education field, he said many engineers (both local & overseas graduates) switch to banking, business, sales/marketing, education and some even open own restaurants after few years in the engineering job. Amazingly, with engineering background, these people do well in their new venture.

Why UTAR's Bachelor degree of Accounting is only 3 years? Many uni no matter local or private already updated to 4 yrs. One thing very strange, still got a lot ppl chosen UTAR. The reputation is recognized and better than others but when heading out for work, the student will found hard to survive.
