haha...someone defending utar oh...

but one thing no matter what, everyone will agree.

the DEPARTMENT OF STUDENT AFFAIR IS JUST DARN TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!

Yes, i have been a committee for the department so long and they always promise you things and later they dont give it to you. Like my cert. They refuse to give me cert because i did all the work during my foundation studies. According to them, i am not a legal student in utar.

Best is, they dun tell u that ur not legal first, they say i am a part of this and that, it is my responsibility and etc.

Then when i finish all my servings for one year, they screw me up

Same thing happen when degree. Say one thing, do another thing, problem happen, say i didnt listen to what he say. When he change his mind he dun even bother informing us.

and worst is my singapore trip!!!!! they bllody hell canceled it without tellign me. I told them that if i go i need to do my passport. I asked the manager if confirmed going or not, if not waste passport RM300 la.

Then my worst nightmare came true, they canceled it without telling us. Until today when i go bug the manager for my cert, ONLY he say, canceled. If not then we all who go have to wait at the campus in the middle of the morning (5am) for nothing la?!

and our money.........gone.....................

Dun defend DSA, i got 1000000000000000 things i can PROVE and justify that the managers there are TERRIBLE.

Ask any of the student rep u know, they will agree......



and sometime the management is very bad in utar. The office staff may not earn much per month, but that does not give you the right to scold us when we come to the office. The face very black. Like we bunuh her family liddat.......

Id haresser? Thats ok. The PD block security always look at me when i wear skirt, keep on looking at me when i pass by the gate. I was so scared. Even my fren noticed it.

Thats why i do not dare to wear skirt in utar anymore

i think i screwed my accounts paper today T_T

despite saying bad things about utar in my blog, (i was damn damn pissed then....>_< apologies if offended u guys) After rereading it again, i noticed that i sould change a sentence. The last line actually, i shd not have said if u have money go other institution. Cuz one thing about utar is, some lecturers are quite good, of course i had WORST in my foundation program. Dice pronouce and SPELL as DIE. sleep.gif in my test anf final papers sumore -_-lll

anyhow, for us who cannot afford much, at least mca helped us by getting an institution for us. (i "assume" that was their initial plan la, minus the politic and the blackmail and teh rasuah la) At least when i come out i have a degree in hand.

i still stand on my 2 feet and say, DSA is TERRIBLE. The DSA MANAGER is INHUMAN.

Utar management, is not good

but overall....ok-LAH.....

The reason I stand up for UTAR the overall teaching is great. I don't have any problem with DSA in setapak, I sent them email to complain something and I can see actions being taken very quickly. Not sure about sungai long though, however its all about HUMAN problem, nothing to do with UTAR, its just that the particular person which is doing wrong and affected the whole UNI? NO?

The only thing I hate is certain arrogant lecturer who think he is a Ph.D holder and start odering around trying to act like he is the smartest fellar pronouncing sh1tty english with some stupid attitude. Obviously everyone dont like him.

Racist problem never happened in UTAR AFAIK. UM is the best in Malaysia? Racist problem is serious over there, it had been an issue since many years ago and its a social issue. Their upper management as usual is by their KIND. Students also their KIND. All also their KIND. However Indians in UTAR never get bullied by chinese? Never heard off also and never happened before.

To TS, come over here and get your fact right. Defend your facts if you think you are right smile.gif
*
well, there is one thing u need to know, dsa headquaters is in fict. And in fict, NOTHING happens, because of them. To do something is just TOOOOOOO hard... where as in sungai long, it can be done promptly. They dun have a specific guidelines to what can be used and what cannot be used. To them (DSA manager) when mood bad, apa pun kenot, if good mood, maybe can la.... U can see very big contradictions in their words. Once i recorded what they said and then when they break their promice, i played it back to them to hear, they deny and deny and then force me to erase the recording. so................ I got nothing to say lor. U can ask those from fict who tried to organize things, in pes or pam is easier cuz ur handling with officers and they have been given some power to agree on certain things.

i screwed up my web page design paper also today, when i read the question, i was so pissed, the question is like so vague, so blurr.. Its like you can write anything inside.. need to re-read almost 6-7 times oni i get wat they mean.. I really against utar exam paper, some are ok la.. but some really like they don't have a quality control.. The question sometimes very vague(not me alone, my frens also complained).. Haiz, somemore easy/simple question give 8 marks, explain 2 stuff oni..  sweat.gif  summore i dono how 2 explain.. arghh

some lecturer are good, but as i can see, the good one always left utar and went to a better place(since my sem 1, about 4-5 good lecturers tat taught me, left utar..lol some to s'pore, to UM..).. some very terrible.. Some AS IF dun have a clue what they are teaching!! they are like come in and read slides.. one of my teacher, she teach english for science.. the slides spell copper wrongly, became cooper.. and she pronounce it as coooper also..  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

about the lecturer, i dont think it's true for somebody said that the lecturers of foundation is the degree year 3 student.
as i know , all the lecturers for foundation are at least a DEGREE holder and most of them are pursuing their master programme part timely.
i agree. But the lecturer assistant is year 3 student
QUOTE
most of the lecturers can't speak english fluenty??
I think this is not right.Most of the lecturers there can speak english fluently, though some may have their own accent. But don't you think it is more important for a lecturer to make the student understand what they wan to teach easily by using a simple words/sentences instead of using a long long  & hard to understand sentences?
STRONGLY DISAGREE. Pronouncing age as ah-ge -_-lll its not their slang or what, they have problem in speaking good english, seriouslly. Maybe science lecturer don't, but art lecturer, YES. Specially mathematic lecturers.

How can u consider this right?

"when you out go work with outsiders, the TAUKE wun want good treatment you" -_-lll this is not slang, this is direct translation

and my foundation lecturer say : "allow me to continue in mandrine / cantonese, those non chinese, later u ask me again la"



QUOTE

no cocuriculum??
actually, it's depends on you whether to join the cocuriculum or nt cause the degree student / the committee of the clubs will still running different activities for their members. You cant said that there're no any cocuriculum activity at all. For me, i think the main problem is UTAR has separated its department. So for foundation student, they might not know what activities is running by the degree student as both foundation & degree students are placed in different blocks. So, you might need to go to degree's block to check out for the latest news of activities.
DSA does not include foundation students as post graduate. So foundation are not included in the list when it comes to activities. heck, u dun even get a cert after u complete a club sentence, what more include u?

QUOTE
about the fees, as i know, most of the private uni/coll out there has increased their fees year by year.It's not only UTAR do that, but most of the private uni/coll do the same thing as well. But still, UTAR's foundation fees is cheaper among other private uni/coll.
Agree, but the increase is shocking! 3K to 7K
QUOTE
about the swimming pool, it is very common for a uni not to have a swimming pool, only those uni/coll that are rich are having this kind of facilities for students. If you want a swimming pool in uni, then you should choose the uni that provides you a swimming pool.
*
but i pay rm600+ for facilities, dun u think they shd give us something?????

okay............ if thats the case then those who like AS but didnt do well in former exams shd be killed and never given a chance?

Like me and my other frens, i hate maths, i dunno what is AS, honestly, when my ucl ask me to take actuary, i tot it was something to do with marine. I kinda linked actuaries with aquamarine -_-ll yes i am stupid

then i did just okay in my foundations and got into AS, i found that this is not impossible, but hard. In fact, they let us take a chance and try, see if we can actually make it thru this course. Many who have not tried will regret after they take their other course. It is a place where ppl learn and find wht they actually like, tho its a bit late.

many cant even diffrenciate mathematic course, applied maths with computing, statistical studies and actuarial science. In fast, what we learn are of no difference, but what happen later is what differentciate us.

Since there are ppl who cant make up their mind, then let them try, they want to feel contented. Curiousity kills the cat.

Another thing is, this AS course with lenient requirement, give us chance to prove to ppl we can do it. Come on!!! Actuarial science is about maths, finance and management. How the heck are you going to test if a person is good in this field fully just by foundation, stpm and spm? There is only 3 mathematic subject in foundation, n 2 in spm (if ur in sub science or science). I dunno bout stpm, sorry. So....... what is i ACED my maths, FLUNKED my physics, FLUNKED my sejarah and so on? so my result will be bad, but i can be the world best actuary???

btw. 4.0 does not mean ur good, it means ur well rounded. Many, and i mean MANY ppl whom scored 4.0 in foundation are transfering course when they reach degree. IT is because they failed badly after the first 2 sem/year or they cant take the pressure and transfered course (p/s: my fren transferred with 3.9 cgpa in DEGREE 1st yr cuz dun like AS, she is 24 this year, she wanted to be in AS since young. Saved up money to join and left with dignity that at least she tried)

of course many things may say that utar is cheeting off us, but then again, if not because of utar, where will we be?

I'm sure if you rent rent a double-storey house with 4 rooms[1 master bedroom,1medium room & 2 single room ], you won't stay alone in the whole house without sharing. Those house can placed at least 4 people and you may share with your housemates to buy all those essential things. I'm sure this is much cheaper. & what facilities do you expect from such cheap price of rental?! i dont think you should ask for more.

ohya,where are you living currently?
If you're in pj, i guess you know the living cost here in pj......
I was living in a so-called condo in pj and the rent for the master bedroom is rm220 per head! and guess what, there were 4 persons staying in a master bedroom. It means the rent for the master bedroom is rm800++. This is really freakin' expensive.

About the lecturer thingy..
Yes, maybe there are a minority of them who can't speak a sentence well.. and also a minority who do not how to teach well..
But, a majority of them do speak very good english and know how to teach very well!

I'm in semester two now, and i have to say that i am very very satisfied with my new lecturers, although some of them may be quite boring sometimes, but as long as you pay attention in their class, you will have no problem understanding what they are trying to say.. If you do not understand their lessons, you can always take the initiative to ask them.. I mean, i asked questions, and you know what? I got detailed and concise explanations from those lecturers, and i am very happy with that!

Also, if you are really not satisfied with certain lecturers' way of teaching, you can always make complaints..
For example, in my first sem, most of us were very unhappy with our physics lecturer, cause we were having a very hard time understanding her lectures and she wasn't very dedicated in teaching us, so some of us made a complaint to Mr.Wesley, the head of department of foundation studies, and VOILA! we got a new physics lecturer this semester, and if i am not mistaken, actions have been taken too..
*
ur lucky u have mr wesley, when we have mr pek ,things turned out good too. But when u have no one who can help u, ur dead. They dun care if u have a bad lecturer, we complained but they give us all the conditiona dn terms we must do in order to APPEAL to change lecturer. I know, ur in foundation in science, mr wesley is very efficient.

I am from foundation in arts, the lecturer are really really bad. Try this. On first week, 200 ppl entered the lecture hall, 2nd week, 50 entered the lecture hall, 3rd week, only 10 left... and they slept in the class and help other student to sign attendance.

not student fault, cuz not everyone will be probamatic student.

I have asked the office for the reason of others fee. By their explanation is like below:
Activity and Recreation : the 2 ping pong table in PD block, sharing swimming pool facilities wif KTAR, PC block sports area and some others activity held by UTAR around campus area (Does utar held any activity?)

Resource centre : You are using the computer lab and library from our school. wble also need money to operate it as well.

Development : Painting over UTAR, renovation on utar. Lift maintainance, toilet repair, air-cond service. computer lab.
the ping pong table? the very chan ping pong table??? sleep.gif........

What does KTAR have to do with us PD block?????

hold on, activities in utar are being paid by student? damn! 2mrw i will go up to finance department AND dsa to make them clear this us. EVERY SINGLE ACTIVITIES are NOT subsidised by utar, the committee have to use their OWN money and HUNT FOR SPONSORSHIP! DSA made MANY MANY project crumble due to insufficient fund. Even after months and months or preparation. And now thay say we are paying for DSA?! hell no.....i am gonna call bank and cancle my cheque 2mrw and i am NOT paying those DSA b**tards and their lies

library n computer lab : okay........... acceptable.....

development : sleep.gif they have made pd block room smaller and there is not enough place 2 study since they move most of the tables and chairs to kampar.......

toilet repair : acceptable

air con service : fine............tho always rosak....

painting : since when?
