week 1 and week 2

finally and officially i start my university life
on 31st may 2010 9am

first class . . . sun zhi's art of war and business management
sounds cool the subject
we are the first batch to take this
dont know whether it is useful or not
but our teacher said, a lot and a lot of generals and CEOs used this book
which is 'sun zhi's art of war' to achieve success

then comes the fluid mechanic
this will be the hardest subject of this semester
after a few lessons and even reading the text book
it's still hard to understand
that's why teacher said this subject will be an open-book-test
even with the book it's never eazy ==''

mathematics for engineering
first chapter about matrix
not the usual matrix that i learned in a-level and form 5
instead a higher class matrix
and a lot of new terms like gaussian, transpose, eigenvalue, cramer's

then comes the statics
more to a physic-related subjects like the fluid mechanics as well
formula and calculations
about things that statics which is sationary or zero acceleration

the 4 subjects above all taught by lady lecturers
which quite contrast with the utar setapak campus
90% of students are guys in this campus
2 subjects below are taught by guy lecturers

survey
a subject need more in practical lessons
which is measurement and grouping datas
and the use of equipments
the interesting part should be using the equipments

introduction to bulding services
another new subject of the civil engineering course
the lecturer is a part-timer so all lectures conduct in saturday only
this subject mainly in words and very minor in calculations
about what aspects need to be consider during construction of a building
for me, a nice subject of course especially the last chapter which is about green building index
now the world go going green and this is the new trend in most engineering

after all the subjects intro
here comes the complaint part
and a lot a lot of failures during week 1
example will be
classes cancel without notice
change of venue without notice
confusion in time table
even the second version has came out, it's still confusing because lecturers still following the first version
lab register are not told properly
things do not go well i.e. low efficiency
wait here wait there
queue here queue there
failure of web portal i.e. error error error
or website down
internet access fully restrict to outside world
wi-fi more or less the same
orientation week should have inform more important things like what should be done on first and second week, rather than focusing on talks
.
.
.
and many more
unbelivable =="

anyway
i miss ktar
i miss the far more better efficiency
i miss the green and the views
once a while passby it feels good ^^
