Erm, as they said, i anti UTAR. so i juz like to comment on some la.
Equipment UTAR setapak sure is enough for all. But if i say the news le. people will say again, i anti utar la, say this all happen everywhere la.
So, i say it in middle view, my fren now in degree year 1 sem 2, they're facing a problem whereby as following :
Some machinery is cost more than 10k, when doing the practical, practical lecturer demand the student to buy a lab manual for themselve, and told them, refer to lab manual. ( this is very common )
But half of the semester have pass thru, and the practical lecturer havent teach anything yet. One student pass the lab manual to lecturer ( cause lecturer don't have lab manual ) and ask him to explain for them.
Studnet : Sir, i know you don't have lab manual, you also nonid to do the practical, we only nid you to explain how to do.
Sir : Erm, ( reading and reading ) this practical thing, u refer to lab manual la. all is inside.
Studnet all conclusion : the lecturer is scare the machine will break down and nid to pay for it? or the lecturer duno do it at all?
This is one of the incident, so i hope this is not the whole of UTAR.
By the way, find more mechanical enginering studnet in UTAR to ask, it would be the best.
But if you want me to introduce some, better don't, cause all my fren in UTAR is "anti utar" juz like me.
Please dont be immature and merajuk ppl say you seem to be anti-UTAR la. We are just asking you to see things as a whole and not focus only on the bad side, or based on limited views.
I will try and find out if i have friends studying ME to confirm this. However, as far as i know, based on bioscience courses, the part of the lecturer being afraid that the machine will break down and need to pay for the repairs are baseless. Lecturers are humans too, they do understand that there is no point purchasing expensive equipment and not using it. Most machines used in bioscience courses dont come cheap either. They do allow the students to use the machines, but of course, telling them to use it carefully according to the manual/instructions.
So one thing that i can confirm, this doesnt happen to the whole of UTAR.
