sorry for this dumb question

Hi,nekochan

@evilprincess:I got my IC and birth cert certified from my school.You can try that.

or from the pesuruhjaya sumpah officer

The school will do. I got all of my IC and birth cert certified from there. Everyone is going to Utar. Woot!

Anybody taking psychology course next year?I'm one of them lulz

Lol. I bet during my 3 year of studies, I rely a lot on both lecture notes and textbooks. Wikipedia is one of my best friend, but it isnt reliable at times. But at least, wikipedia can give you some general understanding on most stuff. If you are in Bioscience, prepare yourself mentally to read journals for more realiable info. This apply when you have to do weekly lab reports.

Some textbook will be very useful, such as Biochemistry textbook. Get a good one, I forgotten the name la, but will post it out once I check it out. Can be used from Year 1 to Year 3. Core subject normally will require a textbook as the lecturer will not be able to teach everything to you. You will need to have self initiative to read it yourself, especially when exam is near . Some lecturer will give test/ exam beyond your books. There is one good lecturer (she is in Kampar btw), who love to gives open book test. But mind you, even open book, you will not be able to find the answer. Lol.

Lol. I pay everytime I use TARC facilities. I dont see a problem to that. Vandalism is a serious matter, and they have their rights to charge the student, so that they can use the fees to bear the maintenance cost.

Then I guess TARC Kampar is being a little bit nice BUT what you say is so true, the condition of the free basketball courts of the TARC is...

Ooo wow. I think I'm going to borrow some books from the library and photostat it if it's too expensive to buy a book. I think there's a lot of reading to do and a good book is really needed. Thank you for the info Akane.

While doing lab reports, are you supposed to do it in the lab and hand it on the same day? That was how we did it in form 6 and it sucks. I can't even check my work after finishing and haha, I got so many wrongs sometime but the teacher was nice enough sometime to inform us...But only sometimes...I lost so many marks...Can we partner with someone when writing the report?

The lab reports might be group during the first sem or two, but will definitely change to individual report. It depends on the lecturer, though it will end up being invidivial reports after awhile. They're better for you actually, wont have the risk of other ppl messing up ur coursework marks.
The deadline is usually a week after lab.

if u need to borrow books from the library, get it before school starts/first day. otherwise, good luck. first sem students are always kiasu that way. haha.

Aw...Thanks for the info. Haha library rush. I guess I am one of the kiasu first sem student eh.

Haha. Interesting. Kiasu first sem students. I have a feeling I'd be one too. Then everything shall cease slowly by the end of the semester.

By the way, would you guys be given a detailed syllabus at the start of every semester or you'd just have to sit and wait for what the lecturer would teach?

Or do you have to find for it yourselves online/library/other forms of resources?
[See, going "kiasu" already ]

Thanks a lot for all the infos. It has been really really helpful.

u will be given a detailed syllabus so dun worry

Ermm.. I am also ex-utarian..

as you compare the others uni, utar fees is already much more cheaper.. so u cant blame for the facilities instead... I am from PJ utar... and I can tell you that... there is no facilities at all for student.. No car park... everyday also get samman because you got to double park your car... no convenient public transport.. no nice food around the area and yet expensive...

wat I think for lecturer is ok ok la... some really put efford to teach you wat they know ... and some is juz come and earn money only.... But I think lecturer in UTAR is not that cruel to push you to die...

Staff in Utar is the best things... they think they are doing high pose job.... very very lansi .... you ask them things.. and if they are in good mood.. they will softly reply u ... but if they are in bad mood... u will bom into thousand pieces... shout infront of many ppl... make u so damn malu...

feel free to ask me more... haha

haha. first sem students are always like that. after that, it wil slowly dwindle.

the detailed sylabus is available online in the intranet as well

Will we be given a detailed info about the elective we are going to choose in sem 2?

Haha. Report writing is very different in university level. And report is the medium where lecturer gets to know student better. Start to learn how to do proper referencing, how to get info and time management. Haha. It will be crazy when you have to submit 3-4 reports weekly. Haha.

Once you get your ID and you can try to log-in into the UTAR Intranet. From there, you can check your syallabus and most of the time there are some reference books below that list. Those are the books where the lecturer refer to, and students are normally encouraged to purchased or borrow those books.

I dont know why, but all this complaint about officer only come from students from PJ or other campus. So far I have yet to face any problem communicating with auntie officer from 3rd floor SA block of FES. The only ONE I hate is that blardy lan c guy from DSA. As for others, I felt they treat student quite nice and they are quite friendly as well.

Haha, thanks for more info Akane. This is really helpful. I guess I will have to find a lot of books soon.
