Argh.... i am so confusing.... haha

as a conclusion, what can choose to excess the internet in my room which is on campus? P2P is a MUST.... haha... sry for disturbing...
*
Survive without P2P. Rapidshare and others are sometimes better.
Stable speeds and less damage to hardisk. Resource more limited though, but not so if you know jalan.

hmm.. a question here.. those library tutorials.. for new students.. about e-learning and internet stuffs.. do we really need to go for it?


Added on July 11, 2009, 1:51 pmanother question here..

the degree programs are only 3 years?

from the website its consists of 4 years.

but Thinkingfox says its 3 years??
*
I don't think webct is used widely in our campus, perhaps in UK there only. Some lecturers do upload their course materials to webct but I see more lecturers prefer U drive.

I would like to know if you are exposed to Athens, Knovel, Science Direct, Emerald etc. thingy or not, as a foundation student.

I was a foundation student and I found out myself about Athens connected sites, and how to use them.
Most of my peers didn't know about it.

Wah, foundation students also use Athens, but is it applicable to you all?
I find it somehow irrelevant to me as a first year student also.

i wasnt really paying attention back in induction.. sleepy adi..
*
That login ID is the common one. Every student from a faculty gets the general password, a proof to show you are students of Nottingham.
Then, you type in your particular and creates the username of your interest.

as for classes, do we arrange the class ourselves or they assign us to certain2 class. is it flexible? how many credit hours max and min per semester?
*
No, you don't get to arrange, at least this is what happening in the Mechanical department.
From what I know, Business School gets to arrange their tutorials?

Usually, one takes 60 credits per semester, making up 120 credits per year.
Officially, 1 credit is equivalent to 10 hours of study, any kind. Most modules come at 10 credits and is taken over one semester only.
There are, however, some modules with higher weightage that stretches over the whole academic year.
As for timetable, lectures+tutorials usually add up to ~20 hours per week, excluding and practical and lab sessions.

She failing the entry requirements as in? Not enough credits in SPM?
Also, how her illness affects her SPM result, as in did she skip the papers or she was affected by the illness on attempting the papers?

Hi!
I`ll be doing civil engineering at UNMC
I`d like to know whether there are common classes with other engineering students. Do we have common modules?
If so would I be allowed to change course if the need be?
Thx in advance for your help.
*
Lectures like Engineering Mathematics 1 and 2 are common. Other than that, I believe there is no common classes already. Perhaps when taking electives?
I believe change of course is only valid for the 1st two weeks of the starting of your programme as told by my tutor.
Here is not like Aus universities where you can change after 1 year. This is because you study the core modules right from the first semester.

Hmm k. Thx
Well as things are now I`ll be doing civil, but I was also thinking about electrical and electronic previously.
Are there some of you whp have taken those courses or know a bit about them?
kuz I find both interesting and i`m quite in a dilemma here.
*
It shouldn't be tough to find out I believe.
One quick way is to get the course structure of both courses and wiki the modules.
You probably won't understand the formula/theory part written in wiki, but you can read the introduction to get the brief idea of what you will be learning in that modules.
See which one interests you the most.

This would help.

This is the schedule for summer break. You can expect higher frequency during autumn and spring semester.

Weirdly, it's Business books that are on sales most of the times. Didn't ever met any Engineering books on sales.

Just buy la.. then use the receipt to claim income tax.

I'm going to nottingham m. campus in the 21st Sept with my father . Am I able to stay at the campus earlier before the registration start ?

I believe that's possible, as long as you wish to pay the rental earlier.
Please email the accommodation office for confirmation though.

haha.. thats for sure.. i stayed earlier before the registration.. if that the case.. i guess u'll have to pay extra half a month rental.. which i had to do so to stay in earlier.


Added on July 18, 2009, 10:34 pmhmm.. hahaa.. a suggestion here..

we all have to pass up assignments in cd rite.. which is such a waste leh..

can we actually suggest to the tutors or maybe the whole system to change.. by submitting thru email.. or maybe pendrive?

hate to just use up no even 1 percent of the empty cd eh..
*
You all submit by CD de meh?
I submit by emails or WebCT de wor..

uhh... swt lar.. for some subjects.. the teachers want them in cd.. some wan hard copy lar.. print out..

Hardcopy is understandable.
But I couldn't comprehend the CD submission. It's going to be crazy if the lecturer needs to insert and eject so many of CDs just to copy one file, well.. few MBs?
Please reflect this matter to your tutor, or the person-in-charge/coordinator of your foundation programme.
Don't think such resource wasting coursework submission should be allowed.
