The jubz has spoken Hello~ haha!

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.

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....

i agree with the shortage of staff~ any student who goes to the office will get a reply that they don't have enough academic staff aka lecturers, either it's office admin staff or the Dean of FET, Dr. Peter himself~ Dr. Peter will be at the Autoshow 2009 at MITC this weekend, go ahead and ask him yourself~ he mentioned that in the following years, Mechanical Engineering may need to be closed or have the intake stopped due to this matter~

staff leaving MMU includes our capable president, Prof. Dr. Ghauth Jasmon who is now in UM after a transition to a less-known college for a few months, Datuk Prof. Chuah Hean Teik, who was Dean of FET and then became Dean of FOE, and an Associate Dean, Dr. Lim, Mr. Huang Fa Jye all went to UTAR, a private NGO institution of higher learning~

i would like to add that International Business has over 200 students in 1 class~

with the policy change of the W model aka bell curve, i think it's critically terrible~

these are my opinions though~ if u like MMU by some reason, feel free to go~ but know the reason why u are spending money on it~ we always have the power of choice~

reputable for IT??????? r u kidding me? dude, is it the name of the university that got that idea to u?~ it is the Engineering students that won many awards~ I've yet to hear the IT side~

1) no idea~ all I know is that students at the creative multimedia have been winning awards for years~ lecturers in Cyber are younger than the ones in Malacca campus and the are involved in IT projects rather than engineering ones~ exposure in whatever research is always a plus point, that is one of the best things about going overseas~

2) no idea

3) yes, of course, the W model policy affects all~ as i've mentioned earlier, 3,800 students in Cyber failed at least one subject in the final examination of the 1st sem of academic year 0809~
