Complaint on FOSEE briefing (Alpha to Beta)

Attention to all,

SRC Melaka received a complaint from FOSEE students that they are having a briefing on 26/12/08 about the transfer from Alpha to Beta.

The students are complaint about it because as we know there are 2 public holidays on 25/12/08 and 29/12/08. For those students who are celebrating Christmas may need to go back their hometown celebrate with their family.

The students are enquiry whether the briefing can postpone or try not to make the briefing or any other important briefing on those dates as it may touches the sensitive religion/race issue in MMU community.

 

However, SRC got an immediate feedback from FOSEE.

According to FOSEE:

There are alternatives for this briefing session.

One of them is Counseling Day.

FOSEE will be having a Counseling Day in every trimester 3.

This Counseling Day will be fixed to answer all enquiries and the students will be able to walk in to ask any questions.

For the coming trimester, the counseling day will fall on Monday of 3^rd Week.

So, for those FOSEE students who may not able to attend the briefing about transfer from Alpha to Beta on 26/12/2008 still can attend the Counseling Day in next trimester.

And lastly, FOSEE sincerely wish all the students have a nice Christmas and a happy holiday.

Changes on trimester system in June 2010!!

Dear all,

Many of the students are being told that MMU is going to change the trimester system from long, short, long semester to short, long, long semester.

However, SRC had a clear clarification from MMU VP Academic, Dr. Wong

According to Dr. Wong,

For June 2009 intake (session 09/10), FOSEE will be 3 long trimesters due to MQA's instruction.
Degree programmes will still be Long (14 weeks), Short (8 weeks) and Long (14 weeks) based on the programme structures given to this intake (ie same as current structure).

However, there is a plan going on now to change trimester system for degree programmes to Long (June), Long (Nov), Short (March) in June 2010. If this is approved by MQA, Session 2010/2011 intake will be following new programme structures (being plan at the moment).

For students coming in before and on June 2009, the programme structures need to be changed to long, long, short semesters from the current long, short, long semesters starting June 2010 if the new structures are implemented.

If this is done, it means we will be re-organizing the subjects to ensure that pre-requisite subjects will not be affected. We expect last batch of students will graduate by June 2013 (for 4 year programmes).

Beyond which, MMU will only have new structure students (ie first intake in Jun 2010).
We have until June 2010 to re-organize these structures and if this proposal is approved, we will announce to students latest by end of this year.

Thank you.

ERU Exam Schedule Policy..

Dear students,

Since exam schedule is released, students are advised to check their exam schedule whether it is clashing or beyond the exam schedule policy.

SRC advice students to make immediate feedback to ERU if their exam schedules are being found clashing or beyond the exam schedule policy or too pack.

Besides, SRC also encouraging the student to report this matter to SRC so that SRC can follow up with ERU whether ERU can help the students to reduce the stressful exam schedule.

For your information,

ERU EXAM Schedule Policy is as below:

3 things must be avoided  

-     Intensity (not more than 3 subjects in 2 days, 4subjects in 3 days, and 5 subjects in 4 days)

-          Cannot have 2 exams which duration is 3 hours each in one day (Accounting, Law)

-          Clashing

When and how to set the exam schedule policy

-          Draft exam schedule ( long semester: Week 6/7, short semester: Week 4)

-          Release exam schedule 3 weeks before the final exam

-          Open for comment the feedback in 1 week time

-          It is not finalize yet, ERU will find to find the best slot for the students to avoid compact exam schedule.

-    Request from the lecturer (Maternity leave, End of contract)

-          Law  Subjects

 

Besides, here are some information after we had a meeting with ERU and some action taken by ERU as well as suggestion from SRC.

Action taken by ERU :-

ERU will try to give higher priority to those students who are following their course structure, core subjects compare to University subjects which are the minor ones (Moral, Malaysian Studies, English, Technical Communication, Co-curriculum and etc) .

If it happens to open a slot for night time, ERU will ask approval from the top management (VP academic).

Suggestion from SRC :-

It is highly advisable for the students to check out their exam schedule once ERU release the exam schedule so that students can avoid the compact exam schedule and immediately give their feedback comment to ERU. Hence, ERU will take immediate action to help the students as well.
