Is this thread still alive? T^T Please reply if any of you are reading.
I plan to take on a degree in TESL there. What I would like to know is the lecturer's and course quality. Is it up to par? And, from the bottom of my soul, I sincerely do not mean to offend in any way. And how is the campus lifestyle? |

QUOTE(ooi33 @ Jan 28 2009, 02:20 AM) Okay I am from UMS school of education (though I m not taking any education related course).... I'm so screwed. XDFrom my observation and interaction with some tesl student there, I am pretty against it if you have already a band 5 or 6 students since some of them just get band 2 in muet yet they able to enrolled in the course, for lecturer quality, I would said when we r uni, we shall no longer depend on spoon feeding, lecturer just give us guideline, the rest we shud find it ourselves... p.s.: if any tesl students passby, don't be offended ohh... this just my opinions~~~~  Thank you so much for replying! Yes, I received a high band 5 in MUET but I'm quite determined to continue something in English or English Literature. T^T I'm sure the course quality has nothing to do with the student's quality... right?  ;Yeah, form 6 was an eye opener to not be spoon fed, so I don't expect lecturers to be any different. Don't mind me asking but what course are you in? What's your point of view in UMS campus life so far? |

QUOTE(lwsn @ Jan 30 2009, 09:45 AM) No worries, points not taken. However, do allow me to express my thoughts on what I've learnt in UMS so far. Indeed, there are quite a number of students among us who scored unpleasant MUET results but some of them had improved a lot ever since the semester started. Indeed, people do improve themselves from time to time. And yes, I'm almost tempted to just join in the bandwagon. T^T First I need to surpass the evil UPU system. Huhuhu.Meaning, people do change to improve themselves. Even if your coursemates did badly in their exams, you have to make sure that you don't because at the end of the day, you are on your own. Having a Band 5 in MUET doesn't guarantee you a 3 pointer above in the uni exams. In fact, some of my friends who scored 3.7 in STPM, scored lower than 2.7 during previous semesters in UMS. The TESL lecturers are at their best in supporting and helping us only if we ask, but many didn't (shy perhaps). Anyway, why so serious?!?! Come join us la! |

QUOTE(ken_zie @ Jan 30 2009, 02:58 PM) why there's no UMS - KAL students in this thread?? I'm actually a KK-ian. XD so its not really about going away from my comfort zone you see, its staying! Hahaha.by the way, coming to UMS is not that bad... if you try to look at the +ve side. at least you get to travel to many places like mount KK, kundasang, sarawak or even to brunei... it only take 45 mins to go to brunei from labuan.. so much nearer compared going to KK (which will need 3 hours)... i still remember the 07/08 thread... now i'm in 2nd year d.... haiz... UMS-kal specialized in giving economics and business related courses, no? I'm trying to take TESL. |

QUOTE(ooi33 @ Jan 30 2009, 10:47 PM) Hmm, I am in sport science, strictly not physical education or any education related programme I agree. Environment does play a role, but it is also up to you to decide whether you excel or plummet, XD Sports science! I find the subject very interesting, but it's just not my cup of tea.  Actually I do agree student's quality have nothing with course's quality, but I feel more excited to study in a competitive enviroment~~~ Campus life so far so good, why don't try to challenge yourself by selecting other Unis?  I took them as a subject in form 4-5.Well its more of a personal reason that I don't go out to another university. Of course, that doesn't mean I'm settling for something less than the best. ;D Or at least, I'm trying. |
