tarc is out of the question.. utar and mmu... these are ur choices... however since utar is rather new... i would suggest mmu, but it would cost more.

yup , exclude TARC. MMU is reputable for IT and electronic enginering. You should go for that.

Foundation in MMU can get PTPTN loan, and also YTM loan. When you enter degree, you'll need to apply again.

Multimedia University thread
QUOTE(RainJR @ Mar 21 2009, 01:14 PM) i send adi my application to MMU,but i havent receive any letter which inform me they had receive my application. when i'm checking online admission status, keep on error. I sent my application also to TAR College on the same day with MMU's. But,TAR College already replied and my application at there under consideration. May I know what is going on ? do u even see any MMU advertisement in The Star newspaper? i see none, this is how serious the admin of MMu has become~Added on March 22, 2009, 10:56 pm QUOTE(RainJR @ Mar 21 2009, 01:47 PM) Law faculty started for an estimated 3 years, it's best that you call MMu to ask~ by the way, also bear in mind that MMu has not been providing information regarding policy change that may be a valid reason for accreditation termination~Added on March 22, 2009, 10:58 pm QUOTE(ISFJ @ Mar 21 2009, 04:04 PM) Can I know the fees for a bachelor's degree in Electric & Electronic Engineering or Electronic Engineering majoring in Telecommunications in MMU for the 2009/2010 intake? I've searched the MMU website but I couldn't find anything about it. should be around 44kAlso, when is the deadline for the application for the June intake? Thank you Added on March 22, 2009, 11:03 pm QUOTE(Bigblock @ Mar 21 2009, 04:37 PM) Hows is mechanical eng in MMU? in melaka?the lecturers and all? i am a diploma tele grad from there, but i left in 2008. never knewe much bout the university after that since the new president took over Dr.ghauth's seat. I heard the situation is getting bad is it true? 2nd year students amounting to 50% had failed their Fluid Mechanics and the appeal to have a class to avoid prolonging graduation has been replied with 3 words -> "not enough manpower" pls look at the earlier link regarding the abolishment of W model issue for the answer to your question regarding the new administration after Prof Ghauth went to UM, 1 dean and 2 lecturers went over to UTARAdded on March 22, 2009, 11:06 pm QUOTE(Bigblock @ Mar 21 2009, 04:55 PM) there has been rumours on TM giving out MMU tender but no one accepted~ if this were to be true, is it a case of TM selling MMu? could it be linked to the lack of advertisements and sudden increase of failure rates if all these are true? just food for thoughtAdded on March 22, 2009, 11:10 pm QUOTE(Bigblock @ Mar 21 2009, 05:13 PM) Coz i heard the situation is gettin bad there? but what else to do bro so thats why i am askin you since you opened this thread for any inquiry. So i dont thing its right you answer me in this manner, not to flame you here but its best if you answer the questions correctly not by saying "u want to know u talk to him urself and see lo... muahaha". This aint funny to me by any means. i believe that enquiring is good only if u get answers~ here, take a look, u be the judge~ President's "Foreword" page, "Coming Soon" even when the President is here for almost a yearAdded on March 22, 2009, 11:12 pm QUOTE(gavinfernando @ Mar 21 2009, 05:31 PM) sorry but i dont mean anything much... truly apologize... Let me put it this way, since im in src, i can barely see the president in melaka.. mostly he will be in cyebr except wednesday where he will be in the office... but the thing is, much thing has happen before... They had change the president. The first president then went to utar... on the way, some lecturers left mmu for utar as well.. and now he is in UM. Then comes in this president... I really cannot comment on this part cox personally I carnt see him often. So, I could not comment. The sentense i put, might upset u or what... and again a apologise.. The meaning behind it... was that even most of us carnt get to see him, and u think everyone can see him? thats the idea... and i dun think u catch it... so, im here to make it clear... it's true that Ghauth is no more in MMu and that lecturers and even a Dean of FOE has went to UTAR, are the new policies which are implemented even in the exam unit and the bell curve from the new president?and again... sorry. QUOTE(corallinkz @ Mar 21 2009, 06:54 PM) which courses is popular in MMU? can u recommended me courses under engineering, IT related.do u have IMs (msn/ym/gtalk etc) so that i can further ask u there? Please PM me I'd strongly recommend that u stay away from mechanical as the failure rate is very high, u can check the failure rates by downloading the list of students who failed in the bulletin board -> bulletin.mmu.edu.myi happen to have a downloaded file, sem1 of 2008/2009 (change the extention from .doc to .xls as .xls is not allowed in LYN), i counted 83 students failing fluid mechanics, total students were 160, that's 50% QUOTE(Bigblock @ Mar 22 2009, 11:56 PM) Failure retes are very high in MMU i see..."not enough man power" is really a bad excuse to them paying students.I heard ISO is being used as a standsrd for marking and thats the reason y students fail? well, from my opinion, i don't see why MMu don't wanna earn more if they can~ i think u can check from bulletin board that one of the SRC had put on a thread on starting a class, poor fella~ my advice is that u check the bulletin board for the last semester and then talk directly to him and ask, he's still in SRC after allThe new president aint doin all good i see... Added on March 23, 2009, 12:08 am QUOTE(Bigblock @ Mar 22 2009, 11:56 PM) Failure retes are very high in MMU i see..."not enough man power" is really a bad excuse to them paying students.I heard ISO is being used as a standsrd for marking and thats the reason y students fail? standard depends on many factors, supply and demand being one, the government & money being another and nearer to student, it's the professional bodies and in-campus politics~ let me tell u, CPA reported last month that they were not aware of the policy change of MMu, they didn't know about the W model~ so account students, take note~ when a new president comes in with new policies, can u say no to it, i wonder~ will a Dean say no? everyone is working for a payslip at the end of the month and dare u say no to the boss?The new president aint doin all good i see...And which faculty are you from sexualpower? as for the W model, it has been implemented and will not be changed from what I've read in the SRC blog i'm in social university aka working, fortunately~ my sis is in MMu~ QUOTE(corallinkz @ Mar 23 2009, 04:05 AM) thanks for the recommendation. just want to confirm, SE is not under any of the ENGINEERING in the MMU? the word "engineering" means "the process of making"~ most of the time, in profession, the word refers to physical and tangible objects and therefore, we get electrical and electronics engineerings (circuit board), mechanical engineering (engine), robotics engineering (automation) but when it comes to software engineering, u'll be making softwares through building computer codes and then compiling them to become programs~and any chances to go to abroad in MMU? there is no twinning program ? Added on March 23, 2009, 8:07 pm QUOTE(elhh82 @ Mar 23 2009, 08:01 AM) I don't think it is a fair comment to say that just because a university has a high failure rate, therefore it is bad. For certain truly difficult subjects, it should not be unexpected to have failures. u're right, it's not fair to say that high failure rates makes a university bad~ in my opinion, asking "why would high failure rate happen in the first place?" would be a better question~ thanks for your post and lets have a look. here are some possible opinions to why there are high failure rates :- One of Utar's professor who is an associate dean mentioned that there are measures that ensure that failure rates as high as 50% would not happen (logic : there may be a thorough discussion prior to a policy and not just implementing) QUOTE(elhh82 @ Mar 23 2009, 08:01 AM) I would be worried if nobody fails in a particular university. That would mean that the standards in that university is extremely poor, and any tom d*** and harry will graduate. In the long run, someone who has a degree from there would find it worthless as potential employees would shun it like the plague (ask around the industry and most hiring managers have a list of local unis to avoid for particular fields). - who will be responsible when students fail? (logic : 1) the intake policy, 2) lecturers' final questions relating to what he/she has taught 3) the quality of the education from the aforementioned lecturer, 4) policies which does not have space for any adjustments in case of human error like the abolished W model, 5) the students' studies) even if it is the students who are at fault here, it wouldn't be as logic as the aforementioned logic 1 - 4, i wonder "which student doesn't want to pass?" by the way, do u know that if u get just a credit in science and maths, you can be admitted to MMu in the year I enrolled?QUOTE(elhh82 @ Mar 23 2009, 08:01 AM) I think prior to abolishing the Bell Curve marking system, the quality in MMU has been in decline (have been hearing this often from my friends in industry) due to looser enrollment standards (bound to happen as we have far too many unis, and there are only so many top quality students, universities have to cari makan and will have to let in a quota every year) and poor quality control. - quality of MMu declining before the abolishment of W model? any proof on this one? (logic : I've seen with my own eyes the past year question papers available from the library and I advice u to have a look as well)QUOTE(elhh82 @ Mar 23 2009, 08:01 AM) I think seeing more failures in MMU is a positive development. It is not like you have only 1 chance to pass the subject. If you couldn't make it through the first time, retake the subject and work harder the next time around. - pls be aware that there has been pre-requisites in all courses in MMu at this moment~ any failure of most of the subjects, i estimate 90% of the subjects, would mean that a student has to extend at least 1 year in order to graduate if he/she doesn't want to squeeze that particular subject into the already packed university schedule (logic : an estimated 95% of the subjects offered will only be offered in 1 specified semester and none other, if a person fails a subject, he/she has to wait 1 academic year in order to retake it) will the future students of MMu have to grad with 4 - 6years as opposed to other university students? we're here to learn, not only here to be forced to waste time and be graded~QUOTE(elhh82 @ Mar 23 2009, 08:01 AM) Lecturer quality can of course still be improved, and i think it is being done with the new policy that is targeting full PhD. academic staff in the near future. The new administration is also taking complaints against lecturers seriously. I know of some who have been hauled up to the disciplinary board because of their poor class performance. full PhD academic staff... I'll vote u as student representative, my friend~ but not as a president~ no pain no gain~ full PhD academic staff would burn a hole in every student's wallet, as well as having low efficiency for those PhD staffs because they are the only ones who can provide Masters~ if they are going to provide Masters, these students have to choose between part-time or full-time~ If part-time Masters pursuers are not allowed to be lecturers, the cost of maintaining the academic staff would be tremendous and then the square one question arises, why not let Masters qualified PhD pursuers be part-time lecturers to save cost? I guess that shed some light~thanks for your questions, I think u helped a lot in clearing doubts~ |

QUOTE(RainJR @ Mar 24 2009, 09:52 PM) these are truth and they are facts :- MMu abolished W model aka bell curve - 83 students failed one subject in sem1 of 08/09 (roughly 50%, u are free to refer to the file or check MMu's bulletin) - near 4,000 students failed in sem1 of 08/09 (total population nears 10k) - lack of manpower has been mentioned in faculty of engineering - the President, 1 Dean and 2 lecturers left MMu in the last academic year to UTAR & UM (for the President) - nearly a year of the arrival of the new president, his welcoming speech remains 2 words -> "coming soon" here are facts from elsewhere : - CPA Australia confirmed that they were not notified regarding the W model policy change (it's their business to know) - one of Utar's professor who is an associate dean mentioned that there are measures that ensure that failure rates as high as 50% would not happen I have not seen ANY advertisement by MMU in The Star newspaper although there has been a special education section which featured at least 20 other institutions' write-ups and advertisements generally, I'm looking at MMu from afar, students who are studying presently should know better~ |

i took STPM~ seriously, in my humble opinion, university studies is tougher than STPM if I factor in the time allocated~ approximately 1 1/2 years for 4 subjects vs. 18 subjects in the same amount of time in the university~ besides, although coursework in the university can be a helping factor, the marking of the STPM is fair and just~ for my year, almost everyone got their second choice and the rest, they got their first choice for public uni~

The jubz has spoken
Anyway, why aren't people looking at high failure rate the positive way? High failure rate can also mean the standard of MMU exams are very high. |

MMU loan can up to 48K for engineering student!! 2nd MMU don have good reputation this year but MMU is always better then UTAR so far. you know UTAR engineering not recognized by BEM and MQA????????MMU doesn't have this kind of problem. 3rd MMU or UTAR student can easy get the PTPTN . 4th UTAR got Kampar so what? you know you are actually need a car or motor if you study in Kampar because student need to walk almost 1KM from entrance to the campus????? Kampar have less shoping centre thats mean Kampar are less developing????Kampar food is really cheap and sedap if you don't mind to travel 1KM from school to food stalk.haha 5th MMU got many lenglui.

MMU loan can up to 48K for engineering student!! 2nd MMU don have good reputation this year but MMU is always better then UTAR so far. you know UTAR engineering not recognized by BEM and MQA????????MMU doesn't have this kind of problem. 3rd MMU or UTAR student can easy get the PTPTN . 4th UTAR got Kampar so what? you know you are actually need a car or motor if you study in Kampar because student need to walk almost 1KM from entrance to the campus????? Kampar have less shoping centre thats mean Kampar are less developing????Kampar food is really cheap and sedap if you don't mind to travel 1KM from school to food stalk.haha 5th MMU got many lenglui. This one i sure!!! so........................................................... MMU hehe, i like the 5th reason.. |

If u could afford the fees in mmu, it wud be better for u to choose mmu. Talking bout courses, as my opinion studying in utar, mmu wud have a better quality in everything. UTAR wasn't bad too, its campus in kampar, perak, realli have a better study environment, heaven for those student who don mind a place without entertaiment.

I'm a final Eng student from MMU. I think I can give some view on faculty of engineering cyberjaya.
true facts: -ppl cant see any intake ad, but if u flip through classified, u will c MMU is hiring lots of lecturers.. MMU is really short of lecturers. Currently this is my final sem, I'm taking 2 subjects +FYP. imagine the 2 subjects was taught by 2 new lecturer which i can say with no teaching experience. - 1 president, 2 deans, lots of assoc dean and senior lecturers resigned and move out of MMU. I can say 80% move to UTAR. - Clubs and association activities is getting lesser and lesser. the campus is so boring now. MMUians should know how "happening" is MMU last year compare to this year, activities like GDC, tournaments and pasar malam.. I know that UTAR is still new, but the one controlling it is MMU ex-faculty of engineering dean aka vice president. He and gauth are the man behind the success of MMU. Why MMU degree was recognised by BEM and industry because he have the know how to set the course outline relevant to current requirements. So what i can see that, UTAR will be a better Uni. they have tons of money, good research facility and handful of good lecturers. Minus point is, Kampar is a bit ulu la, no entertainment. if u wan more personal advice, do pm me. will try to help.. |

Doesn't matter where you study. As long as you are good at what you do, you will be able to impress your interviewers in the future.
Study in MMU doesn't mean you will go very far. Don't judge the institute, judge yourself. BTW, if you are choosing between campuses, why not choose according to location and convenience? If you stay in Melaka, then MMU is a better choice. Likewise for UTAR campuses. |

Girls are not important when choosing universities...moreover, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Kampar is a small town. The newest place you can go shopping, if i'm not mistaken, is Tesco. Other than that, there aren't many places you can go. As for food, you can always have chicken biscuit for snacks~ |

Regarding the fluid mechanics I and fluid mechanics II these two subject are the hardest in bachelor of mechanical engineering, i was the graduation of this course from MMU few years ago, so i know well about the toughest of this subject, but at my time there, only 10 -20 % fail rate for this subject, i not sure how come the fail rate of my junior batch increase so much, or MMU try to increase the standard and mark follow by ISO ...
Added on March 28, 2009, 12:37 pmAnyway, that subject only for ME, but not for other engineering like EE, CE, Tele and other faculty course like IT, accounting and business .. if you not plan to take ME, that is nothing to worried about ...

Even the MCA also canot make a brief explanation on this issue, hw can we know?????? 4th Do you have ever go to Kampar before. the place is just like a small town with kampung around it. If you just wana go for study without entertainment, the campus there is definitely a best place for you. But if you want to coloring your 4 year university life in your life, sorry i may say this is not really a good place for you. 5th i may say different glasses different vision. |

The passing rates in Utar is quite good if compare to MMU. Surprising that the failing rate in MMU quite high like in Ktar. Maybe it is tougher to pass or student there are forgetten their duty.
Both university still consider new and in my opinion both are quite good. But MMU have out number of foreign student, maybe this can force you to speak more english. But I think enviroment will be MMU. Kampar is too ulu, maybe its still consider new. |

High failure rate can also mean the standard of MMU exams are very high. Anyway, MMU or UTAR, it's all up to you. I already apply for MMU because I choose to (with reason of my own)...

if 50% failure rate doesn't bother you and the higher the better, MMU is for u, meanwhile this was what others said :
Dr. Liang Meng Suan, Associate Professor of UTAR said failure rate never got as high as 50% Dr. Peter of MMU's Engineering Faculty Dean (Malacca) has been saying "not enough manpower when students requested for class" Mr Yau Sing Hing @ Yeow Sing Hing of UTAR mentioned that a 50% failure rate is green light for BEM to revise it's accreditation on MMU a CPA personnel at The Gardens South Tower, Midvalley mentioned that MMU did not inform them of policy change in W model when they should[/B] it's the best to follow your mind and let your heart lead~ tat way, u can't blame anyone else if u made a bad choice~ i've given a lot of info on MMU and a little on what one admin and one academic staff said~ to give anymore info is useless if location and urban or rural and got leng lui or not are your most important criterion, i think a geography expert, a community development expert and a leng lui expert would be best in this thread~ lastly, i'd like to say, look from the big picture, UTAR is a non-government organisation(NGO) that was built for the sake of Msians~ it's having benefits of political ties yet does not need to let the government lead, through the years, I've seen it take initiatives to lead the government~ check out UTAR vs MMU |

3rd you are right. UTAR was formed by MCA, but why UTAR engineering doesn't recognised by BEM?Its the MCA contribute in our very local university????? Even the MCA also canot make a brief explanation on this issue, hw can we know?????? To answer your queries, the reason is because UTAR just got it licence 2 start the class at 2005 July(4 mech eng, mechatronic later,e&e not sure), n the course officially started at Jan 2006. As every1 noe engineering course takes 4 yrs 2 complete, now is 2009, the 1st batch student havent graduate yet. When there is no product, how do u expect BEM 2 recognised the course? BEM nid 2 evaluate the 1st batch graduated students i.e how much they r employ, the percentage etc. This info is according 2 the lecturers at Faculty of Engineering during Kampar, Setapak, n PJ campus open day |

personal opinion.
i currently study Engineering in MMU staff shortage is a problem that all the seniors students know and aware. we can see many staff had left MMU because the change of policy that didn't suit the lecturer need. They change the time allocation for research 70% and teaching 30% to teaching 70% and research 30%. This means the lecturer previously had many time to do their own research but now they busy teaching.... Can you imagine four classes of students with well over hundred students in each class that only lecture by three lecturer... ratio of 1:100++ Before the president (one great guy)and dean of faculty of engineering (another great guy) left MMU two years ago if not mistaken, the ration use to be 1:20++ only. that means previous two year, we would have different lecturer for each chapter or even two lecturer for some long chapter. Besides, during tutorial we might teach by other lectures that didn't even have slot to teach in the lecture class. That means man power is well beyond the need... this trend however cannot see in the younger batch already.. minimum required attendance drop to 50% from 75% to take exam... minimum required MUET is now BAND 1 drop from BAND 3 for graduation...... think yourselves to come or not to.... |

Mechanical... 50% ppl failed Fluid Mechanics on Sem 1 08/09, yes it is true.. not only Fluid Mechanics, the total failed student increase almost 60-70% (roughly) from sem 3 07/08 to sem 1 08/09.. Even Engineering Math 1 failure rate increase about 30% from past.. Last time u required MUET band 3 to graduate, now BAND 1 enough... The staff in MMU kinda shorter and shorter, and i heard rumors that FET gonna closed BEng. Mechanical, i dunno it is true or not.. If you really wanna take electronic engineering, MMU can be your choice, else, go to other university. I not to swap you away from here, but the reputation of this university is gonna be more worst... If mechanical engineering, i recommend you go to UNITEN, or UTHO (university tun hussien onn), there will be much more specific course for mechanical field.

i saw some of you all use the high failure rate in fluid Mech (MMU) as reference. I m a fresh grad from Mech Eng course in MMU , and i can say that it is not because of the lack of lecturers in the subject, but fluid mechanic, fluid dynamic are the most difficult subject for ME in most of Mech eng students opinion. The lecturers for the specific subject is not bad... but sometimes these difficult subject just need extra extra hardwork lo.
In my opinion, MMU had proper facilities and some (i mean SOME only) lecturers are good and dedicated, for subjects who dont have these gd lecturers , we have to do more self study lo ... thats uni life anyway . But because of the recent exodus of deans n lecturers, i think most is FOE . in FET malaca, every now n then we have a few went off la.. but overall in future dunno la. MMU used to have high standing in the employer's list sometime ago. But i m not sure about now, (had nt been in touch with current news) The exodus from MMU to UM and UTAR, is depleting the resources of MMU, wonder why it happen... I m taking Master course in MMU now . Added on July 12, 2009, 11:54 pm i saw some of you all use the high failure rate in fluid Mech (MMU) as reference.

I've just completed my foundation in engineering and spent another few weeks in degree and i couldnt take it anymore.. MMU sucks. and i can tell you one thing!
AFTER THEY CHANGE PRESIDENT, EVERYTHING WENT DOWN.. IT WAS AS IF MMU IS BEING STRUCK BY TSUNAMI... well, i agree that in uni life, most of it depend on our effort but at least a bit of guidance from lecturers right.. most lecturers just go in and read out what is on the online notes and out they go.. its better that we dont need to attend class.. and english wise, haha.. dont be surprised.. some of them dont know how to speak proper english.. you'll be surprised how bad MMU is now.. -FOE student. Added on October 12, 2009, 8:31 amgo for UTAR as its reputation is going up.. and trust me, there are loads of smart student there.. This post has been edited by Jacqueline90: Oct 12 2009, 08:31 AM |

Long gone the good old MMU during the late 90's and early 2000's.. Ever since Prof G, Prof C and other very good, highly recognized academic staff left, the reputation just keep going down..
I was a student there in the early 2000's My friend is a lecturer with IT faculty currently.. Student population declined compared to the good old days while students from Africa and Middle East keep on increasing.. It seems the number of local Malaysian students are dropping.. I went back to pay a visit and to my horror, the building is badly maintained.. worst than public U despite paying 3 to 4 times higher for tuition fee.. Carpark is quite empty, unlike those days that its always full, until cars have to illegally park by roadsides.. that shows student popultaion has declined.. TM is back into picture, leeching profit from MMU.. while MMU trying to stay profitable, tuition fee is increased while lecturer's pay are pathetically low.. My sister just graduated this year.. she told me Tom Dxck and Harry of all sort of qualification also can get enrolled.. Unlike those days, it is so hard to get enroll into MMU.. I got a string of A's for SPM but after compare with my classmates, my qualification is the poorers among my class UTAR is a non-profit, and subsidised by other organizations, thus tuition fee is less, and able to attact better academic staff.. Prof C is the new President there after leaving from MMU FOE.. Not many ppl shouting hoo haa about MMU nowadays anymore.. |

Non profit, not too accurate for UTAR, but certainly MMU has fallen compare to the previous MMU.
Fees no longer match the education it provide already. |

QUOTE(Jacqueline90 @ Oct 12 2009, 08:30 AM) What do you have to say as a justification for the load of smart students there?

From all the arguments I've seen, I would say UTAR is improving a lot since your Prof C is on the helm. Complaints are processed faster, results out earlier..... etc.
Oh, btw I'm a UTAR grad. So I know what I'm saying. This post has been edited by Limster88: Nov 21 2009, 06:41 PM |

QUOTE(Enferno @ Mar 28 2009, 12:18 AM) I'm a final Eng student from MMU. I think I can give some view on faculty of engineering cyberjaya. hey can u fill me in about BEng Electronics majoring in Multimedia? I just submitted application with this course as my first choice..true facts: -ppl cant see any intake ad, but if u flip through classified, u will c MMU is hiring lots of lecturers.. MMU is really short of lecturers. Currently this is my final sem, I'm taking 2 subjects +FYP. imagine the 2 subjects was taught by 2 new lecturer which i can say with no teaching experience. - 1 president, 2 deans, lots of assoc dean and senior lecturers resigned and move out of MMU. I can say 80% move to UTAR. - Clubs and association activities is getting lesser and lesser. the campus is so boring now. MMUians should know how "happening" is MMU last year compare to this year, activities like GDC, tournaments and pasar malam.. I know that UTAR is still new, but the one controlling it is MMU ex-faculty of engineering dean aka vice president. He and gauth are the man behind the success of MMU. Why MMU degree was recognised by BEM and industry because he have the know how to set the course outline relevant to current requirements. So what i can see that, UTAR will be a better Uni. they have tons of money, good research facility and handful of good lecturers. Minus point is, Kampar is a bit ulu la, no entertainment. if u wan more personal advice, do pm me. will try to help.. |

I'm currently studying Mechanical Engineering in MMU, and as far as I know there aren't any plans to abolish the course. However there certainly is a shortage of lecturers at the moment, I've noticed quite a few good ones, such as the Faculty of Engineering vice-dean (whose name escapes me at the moment...) leaving for other universities in my time here.
I've not been to other universities, but if MMU is ranked as one of the best private universities in the country I'll be quite worried about the state of education in the country. Many many lecturers here cannot speak good English, including the foreign ones. The presentation of the subject material is also shoddy. Maybe I'm unlucky, or maybe it's because of the staff shortage, but I've got the same useless lecturer for some incredibly tough subjects like Applied Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics and Dynamics for a few years running now. As tough as the subject is, a lecturer who can't teach makes it so much worse. I'm not unintelligent, but I've had my interest in the course degrade while studying here. As for tips, I haven't gotten many reliable ones, and a lot of the lecturers seem reluctant in giving them out. Overall I can't make an educated comparison between MMU and other universities, but from what I've seen I'd be willing to give other institutes a try. |
