Exam failed n kicked., dilemma, please help

xKAIZERUx — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:48:24 +0800

My exam result had been published. and I'm screwed. Got below 2.00 the third time now, and i'm now kicked.

I didn't yet tell my parents about this, and now i'm scared. Too much blood sweat n tears(not to mention money...) been poured and now the result is not as satisfactory....

For another info, this was suppose to be my final semester, and if it wasn't for the BAD result, i would have been able to graduate... the last few credits was just too much on me...

i need advise, what should i do?

--

on the side note, can i go to some uni or college and transfer all that i've passed so i dont have to do another 3 years of study?

MUFY or AUSMAT?,

sookie92 — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:15:02 +0800

Okay, so i plan on going for MUFY next year and go on for the pharmacy course in Monash. But as far as i know, the requirements to enter the pharmacy in Monash is quite high, so i know i have to work hard. But yesterday my aunty just told me about the AUSMAT in Sunway and how i could go in Monash also. She said if i could not score enough marks in MUFY for pharmacy, i have to choose like other courses in Monash cause since it's Monash Foundation then i could only go Monash. As for AUSMAT, if i could not score enough marks for pharmacy in Monash, I could go to other universities for other pharmacy courses. Is this true?

Btw, they say MUFY more assignments/presentations and AUSMAT more exams?
oh, and i'm not really good in talking in front of public so presentations are quite hard for me. haha.

Bahasa Melayu Kekal Bahasa Pengantar Utama U.., YOU OPINION

darkslytherin — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 10:40:49 +0800

KUALA LUMPUR, 23 Nov (Bernama) -- Penggunaan Bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa pengantar utama di universiti akan terus dikekalkan, kata Menteri Pengajian Tinggi Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin.

Beliau berkata bagaimanapun, perkembangan pendidikan global menuntut penguasaan dalam Bahasa Inggeris dan oleh itu, Institusi Pengajian Tinggi Awam (IPTA) dan Institusi Pengajian Tinggi Swasta (IPTS) dibenar mengendalikan kursus pengajian tertentu dalam Bahasa Inggeris dengan Bahasa Melayu hendaklah diajar sebagai mata pelajaran wajib.

"Namun, kita perlu sedar tentang perkembangan pendidikan dalam negara yang mana terdapatnya pelajar dan pensyarah asing sama ada di IPTA dan IPTS serta bahan rujukan khususnya bagi mata pelajaran berkaitan Sains, Teknologi dan Matematik yang kebanyakannya dalam Bahasa Inggeris.

"Kementerian sentiasa mengambil kira perkembangan yang berlaku dan dalam menentukan bahasa pengantar bagi pengajaran dan pembelajaran untuk kesesuaian berdasarkan faktor-faktor itu, satu kajian yang khusus sedang dijalankan oleh pihak kementerian," katanya pada persidangan Dewan Rakyat di sini.

Mohamed Khaled berkata demikian ketika menjawab soalan Datuk Abdul Manan Ismail (BN-Paya Besar) mengenai tindakan kerajaan mengatasi masalah penggunaan Bahasa Inggeris sebagai bahasa pengantar di kebanyakan universiti tempatan termasuk dalam Pengajian Melayu dan Agama Islam sehingga hampir melumpuhkan kewibawaan Bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa ilmu.

Mohamed Khaled berkata dalam menentukan penggunaan bahasa pengantar utama bagi sesuatu sistem pendidikan kebangsaan, kerajaan tidak akan membelakangkan peruntukan sedia ada seperti yang termaktub di bawah Perkara 152 Perlembagaan Persekutuan dan Akta Pendidikan 1996 (Akta 550) tentang penggunaan Bahasa Kebangsaan.

Beliau berkata pihak kementerian juga tidak menafikan terdapat kursus-kursus Sains dan Teknologi yang menggunakan Bahasa Inggeris kerana ia bertujuan memudahkan proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran.

"Ini biasanya berlaku dalam kursus-kursus yang bertahap lanjutan, istilah Bahasa Melayu belum terdapat dan belum diterima secara meluas, dan pensyarahnya adalah ahli akademik asing," katanya.

Pada masa yang sama, beliau berkata kementerian sedang mengkaji penggunaan Bahasa Inggeris atau Bahasa Melayu dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran di Institusi Pengajian Tinggi dengan mengambil kira pelaksanaan dasar memartabatkan Bahasa Melayu dan mengukuhkan Bahasa Inggeris di peringkat sekolah juga kefahaman dan tahap penerimaan istilah dalam industri.

there are lots of ways to Japan..., but which should I choose?

Tsukiyomi001 — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 01:22:31 +0800

I want to go to Japan for my universities. I want... I wANt... I W@NT!!!

now that I've made myself clear... I need help deciding on HOW to go...

Option A
through LPK, going for the 4 months class from December to March 2010, and go to Japan in April 2010
from there onwards, study for 1 year at ABK Language Center, Japanese Language and Pre-U course, take the EJU and U
entrance exams, hopefully I'll be in a Jap U in April 2011
Pros:
- in Jap U in April 2011
- ABK is renowned for its quality
- surest way
Cons:
- no scholarship in the first year of U
- need RM 70k from December 2009 to April 2011 (everything covered)

Option B
Monbugakusho Scholarship, wait till March 2010, apply, get lucky enough to live through the end, and go to Japan
in April 2011. Study at XXX center (special for scholarship candidates) for 1 year, and get into Jap U in April 2012.
Pros:
- RM 4500/month for the duration of my study in Japan
- all the fees are taken care of by the scholarship, the RM 4500 is your income
Cons:
- GREAT RISK!!! percentage of success is 5%(statically)
- slowest

Option C
Teikyo(IBT), sign up for January class, go through lessons, take EJU in malaysia, fly to Japan take U entrance exams, fly back,
wait for result, get lucky, go to Jap U in April 2011
Pros:
- Savings --> same classes with option A, but total cost only RM 14k, plus the U entrance exams, tickets, living there, all & all
only RM 20k
- In Jap U in 2011
Cons:
- learning Jap language in a Jap-Language-less enviroment
- no scholarship in 1st year of U
- 1st year = tuition + living + misc. = god knows how much $$ u need...

Option D
Aomori Chuo Gukuin U scholarship, go for interview 24 & 25 Nov, wait 1 week, get lucky, go Jap n study Business & Laws
at said school in April 2010
Pros:
- no 1 year Jap language n Pre-U course
- scholarship = 2/3 U tuition fees every year
- can get add other scholarships from U 2nd year onwards
- very very very nice hostel (bedroom n kitchen n bathroom all to myself!!!)
- in Jap U in 2010
Cons:
- limited to said U
- limited to said course
- 4 years Jap Language tuition (originally 1 year but some #%^&$ decided to strech it)
- RM 55k to cover your 1st year thr (remaing tuition fees + living) and god knows how much if you can't get scholarship
in your 2nd, 3rd n 4th years
- new school, though the teachers are quite experiences (or so I heard)

harder then test leh... so what do you guys think? I'm interested in Economics, Business Administration n Social Sciences...
but the Option D's offered faculty can't seem to tick me off...

so my problem is this:
my family's in come is about RM 7000 per month, with 1 almost finished car loan, 1 new car loan, and 1 half finished house loan...
dad manages a factory, I've seen him give the factory ICU using his own money... i got 3 siblings, form 4, 3 n 1 nx year @ Catholic
the bloody money sucking government school (or so I heard)... oh ya, the new car is under factory name....
my parents support me GREATLY, but I don't want them to spend too much on me... it's best If I can finish U without using parents'
money, so my 3 other siblings can have better choices... so what should I do? Please help...
