Salam
Untung jadi rakyat Malaysia zaman la ni .Tahun 1990 - 2013
Untung juga kpd graduan politeknik KPTM, kolek komuniti dan lain lain.
Dulu dulu zaman jepun, zaman sukarno (indonesia) .. hanya segelintir saja .. graduan dari high school , kolej yg dapat masuk ke universiti. They took HSC, GCE A Levels , STP dan macam macam.
SEkarang
saya bandingkan .. pengetahuan sesetengah pelajar universiti .. saya rasa cukup kecewa.
2) Ada satu soalan .. dalam QUIZ Mathematics Degree maths Minggu ke dua semester 1 tahun 1 ijazah ....
Give one example of problem solving exercise u had met before you joined this university?
The answer given to me was :
1 + 1 = 2. then he expect to pass my discrete structure paper.
--------------------------------
I just wonder .. why 1 plus 1 is 2 is considered as a problem solving question to a 18 year old plus student.
That problem .. my late grand daddy .. can do that easily .. without any needs to qualify High School graduates or getting University level of education.
----------------------
Problem solving is .. like this .. given RM4000 per month pay/ u have to sort out .. surviving with 6 kids , 1 non working wife, 2 second hand cars , 4 more family members depending on you directly night and day etc etc.
You must solve that living problem ..as quickly as possible ..
If you can handle that living problem .. then it is called a problem solving case. Not '1 + 1 = 2" boy.
3) Saya pikir ..kerajaan memaksa .. universiti menerima pelajar yg tak betul betul fit masuk dalam dunia universiti. Mereka berbuat demikian untuk mengatasi masalah pengangguran, masalah sosial lain , .., dengan alasan ... ingin membawa negara ke arah negara tamadun tinggi dengan pendapatan per capita yg tinggi juga. Saya rasa .. banyak wang kerajaan habis demi untuk mendidik .. org yg tak seharusnya berada dalam universiti .. biar mereka rasa mereka ada potensi besar ..membawa negara setanding dgn Jepun dan Singapura. Ini satu kepura-puraan. Pura pura tahu .. macam macam tetapi sebenarnya tak tahu sangat apa apa pun. (Laugh). Kasihan kpd para pensyarah ..yg bertungkus lumus ..mengajar .. sylibus setanding dgn UNIV Cambridge/ Hrvard .. kpd segelintir pelajar pelajar yg selalu menyebut BLUR , BLUR , BLUR ..sebenornya .. mereka tak tahu apa apa pun.
Dengan ISO 2008 ..di mana .. 90% calon mesti lulus .. politeknik / universiti .. kami para pensyarah kena kerja hampir hampir nak mati .. help to push their marks .. passing candidates .. to enter Year 2, Year 3 diploma / degree programs etc etc. Aduh .. pura puranya kita rupa-rupanya. Ada universiti di sini tak terima calon .. jika pointer CGPA rendah dari 3.50/ 4.00 apa makna ini semua? Walaupun ..dalam sijil .. ada pointer tinggi .. tak semua univ percaya ..nombor pointer itu lagi dan lagi. Itulah .. untungnya ada ISO.
With that .. I want to say 'have a nice day ahead of you'. pura pura we r so hebat.
wallah huaklam

After returning home from Jogjakarta .. my blog visitors has somehow jumped .. a bit drastic than usual. It is not so surprising since as a teacher .. one can talk and write well on certain important issues. I will write another issue 31st DEC or 32nd DEC. What is so great about that new year eve etc etc.
BTW , just to say Welcome to my new readers.
2) This blog is about what I think as a father to 6 grown up where 4 of them are already working - children plus after being a teacher/lecturer for the last 30 years in Malaysia. It does not represent Malaysian daddy's or teachers ' common thinking. it is Just my entire thinking and philosophy as a muslim professional. Insyallah and Alhamdulilah. FYI, most of my teachers were British, Scottish, Chinese, Indians, Ceylonese back to 1960 - 1980s. My malay teachers were relatively few teaching me Islamic Studies and Malaysian Language.
My motto is '.. say a bit more .. even though .. it is just a small matter .. mathematically and logically'.
3) All the best my readers.
Wallahu aklam. (God knows best).

As a student , many of you are so eager to know your carry marks.
It is OK. But ..don't expect so much miracle to happen since
mathematically speaking
TEST 1 = 20%
Project Maths = 15%
Assignments = 15%
Attendance = 5%
Quiz 4x = 5%
total coursework = 60%
-----------------------------------
Lets say you have a very low marks for Test 1 3/20
Give 50% to all the other components = 20 /40
therefore your carry mark is just = 23 /60
Which is a FAIL. You must get more than 30 marks plus in order to qualify yourself into
as PASSED Coursework.
------------------------------------------
I think , you better think in that manner. Don't expect so much miracle to happen please. I am still marking your work. Be patient.
Focus on .. try and do as many times THE TEST 1 questions. Make sure you understand the tricks of maths especially the Induction Recursion , Algorithms etc etc. Refer to the red book. I also had passed the solution book.
Pray for the best. Good Luck.
Wallahu aklam. ( God knows best).
