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 ^^
