Hi, I don't know if its too late to reply but I'd still like to share, in case there're people who wanna go for Multimedia design..
I'm taking Multimedia design in TARC, sad to say, it sucks.
Yes it is the cheapest of all compared to institute like TOA and such.. and its true when they say "yat fan chin, yat fan fo" (canto)
I'm been through Diploma and currently am in my advanced year.
All through my diploma, all sorta things we learn are pure basic stuff. Basically, they teach u the base, the rest, find out for urself.
The lecturers.. some are good (as in 15%) but some... they really can make u go insane. shocking.gif

Maybe its because or shortage of lecturers.. (tarc don't pay you much, who wanna work)
They simply get lecturers to teach, some are not even master in the subjects they're teaching.. they just start learning after they've been assigned to teach tat certain subject.  (a lecturer friend of mine told me) shakehead.gif

Yes, TARC offers LAN subjects but what from I've gone through, those LAN in tarc are slightly different. Its complicated..
To cut it short, I finished my LAN subjects in TARC diploma and I went to KBU for degree, they said I'm missing 2 LAN subjects and I had to retake.
Then i went back to TARC for advanced, I'm still studying English! and we have another LAN subject coming up..which is shocking bcos we tot we've finished those at diploma  rclxub.gif

Now in advanced diploma, things are not that good either.
Lecturers teach outrageously different things which is totally unrelated to the subjects we're taking.. and those assignments one of our lecturers made us do, bliv me, they're outrageously ... retarded. And in the end no matter how much effort you put in or don't put in, he gives u and A  rclxms.gif

One incident which really pissed me off is, there's one lecturer who din teach a single dang thing, starting from the beginning of the sem till the last. He always cancels class at last minute or arrive 1 hour late and then the class went on for 15 minutes, and then, "class dismiss" .. till the exam period, he sent us an outrageously long notes and asked us to read all without any tips.. how are we supposed to know wat the hell we're reading when he din even teach us a freakin single thing before...and he had the nerve to fail me (and alot of other ppl)!  vmad.gif

When you complain to the management, they won't do anything because they're too busy gossiping and drinking coffee.

We have our internship lately and some of the fellow students have diffiiculty having companies to "adopt" them..The reason those companies gave are simple. " We don't take students from TARC, you guys have bad reputations " ... icon_question.gif

Thus,  think twice. I'm not tryin to imply bad images of TARC onto ppl, just sharing what I've been through..Good days  smile.gif

I am currently studying in year 2 Diploma, will finish at May 2009

Ill say, what she says is quite true, But what we in TARC is mostly SELF LEARN (for some subject), Because some subject, our lecture only gave us Assignment, and we do it ourself/.... sad.gif

But for other techinical stuff such as learning software program like Adobe, we started to have practical stuff with some really good lecture... therea one Good lecturer i really like about in tarC and he's good in Flash, ( he is Mr allen if u know him, but he is only a part timer).. and it makes me feel so bad when he wasnt asign to teach us..instead another malay female lecture.. she wasnt so good in teaching us, and her flash wasnt that good either shakehead.gif

But during these year, There are already Mac apple in our labs, which is good, also they have renew many PC too..

NOw myself are going throu a tought time too...
I am seaching any UNI in LOCAL or OVERSEA(better) for BACHELOR/DEGREE with SCHOLARSHIP ,and they will accept my diploma in TARC... anyone?? plss helpp >.<

rclxub.gif but among all the courses, I personally think that multimedia design suits me a lot... I'm interested in graphic design.. animating.. and video editing (yes I did some animations and videos before, even photography.. and now digital art). So, fark I don't know which specific course to choose..............  doh.gif

help man, i'm in a seriously sarking dilemma now vmad.gif

And, another thing which I concern is.. the job opportunities.. I think multimedia design post-graduate students will have more job opportunities because they could do many task instead of (for animators - only animating).. Is this concept right?  sweat.gif And the salary of animator in Malaysia is seriously..  sad.gif

u have to choose on in the end, in some institute u can have multimedia design for certificate or diploma. In degree, its better that u choose a specific course.

yes,
multimedia design post-graduate students will have more job opportunities
but they are not expert in any specific area unless one works hard n set a target for her/himself
