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....
