nah you din offend me d

just offering my two cents worth...

all the best!!!

yeap... in this world now... people not looking for degree dy... its like pre-U in my dad's time...lol!

what to do...upgrades are everywhere~ hahaha

well, if you want to do research you can do it part time while lecturing mah...

win win situation...=)

nah... I still agree that alot of lecturers are involved with research.. and most of their long working hours are due to that.

In fact... I would do that too..

But whatever you want to do with the degree is up to you. Whether you want to further or you want to kanchiong go work immediately is up to individuals...

in order to get promoted... from lecturer to snr lecturer to associate proff and finally prof is due to the number of publication you produce..

If like dat.. den no1 been promoted lah....

haha..hopefully..=P

Being an IMU student. The timetable of a biomedical science undergrad is extremely hectic. including 1st sem itself. I dont know about other uni.. but best of all is to get ready first

Added on January 12, 2009, 10:00 amabout research... we have industrial attachments during sem 4 and 5... that is i think lah they put us somewhere and try working with biomedical scientists or something connected to the future career. Sem 6 we have our research project where a lecturer is given to supervise us. The research project itself is 4 credit units.

Hey ya people... sorry for my long absence... To darn busy.. lol~ do keep this thread alive... =)

busy with uni..... rushing practical reports and campaigning for student council.. lol...

Yea i agree with you, doing that you will be too owerwhelmed.. this course itself is already hectic

yes, i agree with you... in future anything will happen. Bacteria and viruses always mutate. So does diseases and everything. But those shouldn't stop us from upgrading. Science is alwas changing... so does mankind.

So i dont see unemployment as a reason not to pursue this field.. unemployed here? go overseas.. they are waiting for in with arm wide open!

Nope.. i havent graduated. Am currently pursuing Biomedical Science degree in IMU... =)

hey! Welcome! Yeap, it is not that easy (nothing is easy in life right?), i should warn you regarding the timetable. However, all in all.. it was fun in a way coz you get to learn new things such as how to draw blood in sem 2.. and the port dickson trip on sem 1. This course is very practical based. So be ready to type a lot of reports...What i mean ALOT is ALOT.. lol..

Feel free to find me anytime...!

Whiich part of JB are you from?

Hey people,

I would like to clarify something time and again.

Yeap, by getting a degree you have no choice but to end up working as the lab tech. BUT that dont make you a doctors assistant. Definitely a NO.

Like i said times and before... this is an ever growing and ever updating field. Meaning, if you wan research.. if you want better job, PLEASE upgrade youself to a MSc or PhD. By then, you will see the "keng" ness of Biomedical Science. I am not exagerrating of what not. But this is exactly what a lecturer in my uni *a doctor* told us. He told us back in oversea where he studies and work for quite a long time. Biomedical Scientist are actually trouble shooters to what the doctors dont know. Hence, our course is a little to medical base but we look at it in a very different way. He say he as a pathologist truly respects the Biomedical Scientists and that to his despair that this course is not yet developed in Malaysia. That is y Malaysia mind set states that we are nothing but doctor's assistant. Which we are not meant to..

To my future junior from JB,

Yes we have ALOT of practical report which i think we shouldnt complain about because it is parts and parcel of our course. It carries the fraction of the 30% for in course assestment which will be brought forward to FINALS. There is no practical based exam.. till now. But i heard there will be OSPE for next sem for Microbiology. This is like a practical based exam.

Once again this is only my thoughts...

Well, pretty well, if you think it is your interest go for it!

Hey Kurogane! Welcome here!

Hey hey, good to see that this site is risen from the dead again! Yay......

I want to wish everyone who is studying good luck and for those who still dont know what to do in future.. do not hesitate to ask!

Have a facebook account? And you are currently studying Biomed?

Head on to this site yea?

Neway, Kurogane88 is my coursemate~ and he can definitely explain how life is it like in IMU. =) *tho we are different people with totally different mindset*

Life is hectic there but of course nothing in life is easy. As long as you pursue something that you are interested in.. It should be easier than you think!!!

Nah.. you are not late! Welcome!!!!

Yes, me either. But science is just complex and inter-related i guess...!

Wer are you taking your degree?
