of course yes. you see your lecturers are still alive, right ? That mean they have enough money.

But, if you want to be in term with the job, please be patient with students.

boaring ? (boaring or boring ?)
It's actually not as long as you have the passion in teaching.

You must be earning a lot of money then. That sound contrary with what you said before "local lecturer is underpaid"

But azarimy must have doing a lot of hard work. It sounds challenging to take so much jobs at the same time.

Is it possible for a IPTS lecturer of the age 35 with master holder applies for IPTA lecturer ? In that case, the salary will start from beginning or according to lecturing experience & qualifications ?

I have another scenario where the IPTS lecturer is about the age of retirement and apply for lecturing in IPTA, any chance ?

I agree with all of your points accept the part about teaching.

That is the typical way of answering question of most lecturers. They don't need to explain why this and that because it's the students' responsibility to find out the answer.

Well, I guess that would the better solution than (the lecturer) provide a wrong answer. Through discussion and debate, the best answer will be concluded as the correct answer. In that way, lecturer could avoid any unnecessary accuse.

yeah ! That's why lecturer must reply the annoying question with something like " This is a good question. It is actually an advanced syllabus. You will learn it soon. It can be easier to understand with theory A, B and C (whatever related theories out of your mind) which you haven't learn them. Since we don't have enough of time for it. Please study those theory first and you must get understand later on."

I think those who able to earn PHD title are quite cleaver. pressure exist in every job and it isn't a problem for the clever groups as they like doing research and study. Salary payment should be based on their contribution to the institution/ society but not their titles or years of lecturing. Some lecturers are good with their knowledge but really poor to teach. I know, many lectures who are looking at my post, are going to say "students should study themselves" " teaching is not my main job" ... yeah, i agree yet lecturer is still an educator and no matter how teaching is still part of a lecturer's job. Recall of my UKM lecturers, I am shaking head.

No ... They were worse than my secondary teachers. Seriously, I respect none of them as they can't teach (what a shame).
When my students asked my opinion about the education quality of local universities, i tell them directly "don't go to UKM."
