Your tasks in next 3 years

Your graduation route

Your #1 Objective in UTAR - FICT

Graduate with a degree !!!

But how ?!

The following is a guide to help you to achieve this objective.

Steps to Graduate

• Follow the 4 “simple” steps to reach your objective:

1. Get your course structure– Do this SOON !!

2. Plan unit, time table, register and go to classes– Do this SOON !!

– Will do this in the beginning of every semester

3. Check your result and progress– Will do this at the end of every semester

4. Prepare for graduation– Industrial training & final year project

Step #1

Get your course structure.

What is a programme structure ?!

• This is the first phrase that you need to know in order to graduate.

• Programme Structure is– a table that shows you all the subjects that you need to

take in order to graduate.

• It is different for every degree programs– Because each degree programs has different

subjects/units.

– Please DON’T refer to the wrong one.• Networking students don’t go and get the computer science

course structure.

CS Year 1 course structure

• CS = Computer Science

IA Year 1 course structure

• IA = Information System Engineering

IB Year 1 course structure

• IB = Business Information System

CN Year 1 course structure

• CN = Communication & Networking

Sample of CT course structure

• CT = Computer Engineering

Programme Structure –

Important !!!• Learn how to read a course structure !!

• If you finish all the subjects/units in the course structure with a passing grade (+ MUET band 3).– YOU GRADUATE !!!

– You only change course structure if you change your degree program.

• Course structure is a “contract” between the university & YOU.– It won’t be changed as long as you are admitted to a particular program,

at a particular semester.

– Same course structure follows you until you graduate (even that you take5-7 years to graduate)

• Same degree program may have different course structures(together with the rules) depending on the semester you joinUTAR– For example: Jan 2008 networking (CN) students and Jan 2020

networking (CN) students have a different course structure .

– Same rules are associated with the course structure

Course Structure – Important !!!

• There are policies and graduation rules that

are attached to the course structure:

• Please don’t compare with your seniors and

claim “unfair”.

• For example:

– Prior to Jan 2010, grade ‘D’ exist for those who

score 40-49. However, now it is a ‘F’ for 40-49.

– Prior to May 2013, maximum allowable credit

hour per semester is 21. Now it is 20.

• Enter your selection and click on “Show

structure”.


5• Click on the correct structure that belongs to you !!

• UCCN140501 = CN Year 2014 May 1st

• ULCN060101 = CN Year 2006 Jan 1st


6• Quick Quiz: For CS students: Which one do you choose?• Be careful of Full Time & Part Time

Your Structure Code – Oct 2020

• UCIA201001 for IA students

• UCIB201001 for IB students

• UCCS201001 for CS students

• UCCN201001 for CN students

• UCCT201001 for CT students

A simple Guide to Course Structure - 1

• Each degree can be completed in 3 years• Each year there are 3 trimesters

– 2 long trimesters and 1 short trimester

• Long trimester– Jan semester and May semester– 14 weeks of class– 3 weeks of final exam.– 2 to 3 weeks of break

• Short trimester– Oct semester– 7 weeks of class– 3 weeks of final exam– 3 weeks of break

A simple Guide to Course Structure -

Unit codeUnit title

Unit “type”

Unit credit hour


• Unit code =– Determine the “ownership” of the unit, normally by a department of

a faculty

– More for the administrative purposes of the university

– UCCN1004: “U” = bachelor; “C” = FICT; “N”=CN; ‘1’ = Year 1• The last alphabet ‘A’ = IA, ‘B’ = IB, ‘C’ = CS, ‘D’ = CS, ‘E’ = CT, ‘N’ =CN

• Unit title = description of the unit– Unit may have similar title but different code

– For example, both Electronic Engineering and Computer Engineering offers an unit with the same title:

• ULEG4183 DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING

• UCCE3053 DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING

• Unit type = MPU, Common core, and Free Elective– To be elaborated in the “Step #2: Register for classes”


• Credit hours– Unit credit hours

– Degree credit hours• The sum of all units credit hours within a course structure

• Typically 120 hours or 124 hours

• If a degree have more credit hours, it means the degree has more units, and it takes longer to graduate.

degree credit hour


• Credit hours– Unit credit hours

• Defined as “contact hour” in a week.

• The higher the unit credit hour, the “longer in time” and more “complex” the unit will be

• Project II and Industrial training have 6 credits hour.

• E.g. UBMM1011 (1 credits) is “much simpler” than UCCN1004 (4 credits)


Electives

Pre-requisites

Pre-requisites

Pre-requisites


• Pre-requisites– A unit that you MUST take prior to the desired subject

– For example, in order to register for UCCD2003, you must pass UCCD1013 first.

• Electives– You have the flexibility to choose units from a “group of units”

– Normally for technical specialization

– Required to discuss with your academic advisor

Note for Electives

• UTAR will take your latest grade !! (Not the

best grade).

• For example: You are required to take two

electives.

– But you have taken three.

– The grade will be based on the latest two

electives and not the best two !

Changing course structure..

• If you want to change course structure, you need change to another degree program (or vice-versa).

• Please note that you need to pay RM200 (course transfer fee), in order to transfer to a new degree program.

Flexi vs Fixed Course Structure

• Fixed course structure (phase out already)

– The number units taken in a semester has been

pre-determined by the university.

– You have to take those units at a particular

semester whether you like it or not.

• Flexi course structure

– The number units taken in a semester is

determined by the students (meaning YOU).

– Of course, there are rules and regulations on

the number of units that you can take.

Step #2

Register for class

Allowable credit hours in a semester

10

10

Allowable credit hours explained

• In a typical long semester (14 weeks)– Maximum 20 credit hours (about 7 units)

– Minimum 1 unit• 1 credit hour to 6 credit hours, typically 3 credit,

• 6 credits hours if you have industrial training

• In a short semester (7 weeks)– Maximum 10 credit hours (about 4 units)

– Minimum 1 unit (same as the above)

• Refer to your course structure: (unit -> credit hours conversion)– More than 90% of all the units = 3 credits

– UBMM1011: Sun Zi’s Art of War = 1 credit• The only 1 credit hour unit in the whole course structure

– USCC10X2: Co-Curricular units = 2 credit

– Project II and Industrial Training = 6 credits• Project II is in Year 3• Industrial training occupies a whole semester (either long or short)

– Some technical units = 4 credits

The things you need to do in Step

#2

1. Plan the units that you are going to take

2. Meet your academic adviser (or Head of

Dept)

3. Course registration screen

4. Plan your time table

5. Register class

6. Pay your bill.

7. Go to class for the semester, then take

your final exam at the end of the semester.

1. Plan the units that you are going to

take

• Question: How many units should I take?

• Answer:– As previously stated, you are allowed to take between 20 credits (6

& a half units) and 1 unit (typically 3 credits).

– Depending on your “ability” and “mood”, you can take 9 credits in a long semester (easy life), but it will take longer to graduate (your choice).


take


take

• You have five years to finish your degree program (excluding the period when you take leave of absence) beginning at the time you officially registered to the degree program.– e.g: For all of you joining Jan 2012, you have to

graduate before Dec 2016.

– Do your “credit” math if you want to have a easy time in UTAR.

• Each degree can be completed in 3 years, if you strictly follow the guided course structure, or plan your study very carefully

Flexi Course Structure

• Flexi course structure

– The subjects taken in a trimester is determined by

you, subject to the pre-requisites, seats available,

time table, and other rules and regulations.

– Important:

• Not all subjects will be offered every trimester!

• If you do not follow your guided course structure,

the University cannot guarantee that you can

complete your degree in three years!

• Flexi course structure does not mean you can

choose whatever you want yet be able to graduate in

time!


take

• Question: Which units should I take?

• Answer:

– As this moment, depending on whether you are previously:

• A foundation student (from UTAR, MMU, etc)

• a UEC or STPM student

• a transferred students from other institution (e.g. KTAR, KDU)

– Before you do any planning, please get your course structure ready FIRST.


take


• Answer:– For foundation students, UEC, STPM students:

– Follow your course structure.

– For all the Y1T1 students (Year 1 Trimester 1), the university has “pre-registered” the units for you based on your course structure. (ONLY for this semester).

– Starting Y1T2, you have to plan and register the class for yourself (with the help of academic advisor).


take


• Answer:– For transferred students (KTAR, & other colleges):– You NEED to consult your (HoD) head of

department (or academic advisor).– Your NEED your HoD’s help to plan your 1st

semester.– You will need the add/drop form.– Please have your letter of admission ready.– It is a case by case basis.


take

• Question: Can I add and drop unit as I see fit without following the course structure (refer to action plan)

• Answer:– Yes, you may do so.– Please use the add/drop form and follow UTAR regulation.

Add-Drop Form

• Get this form from FICT faculty office at A177J.

• You need the signature of HoD, Academic advisor, and dean.


take

• Question: Can I plan for 0 unit in a semester?

• Answer:– Yes, you can do so.– But you have to apply for a leave of absence.


take

• Question: Can I plan not to study in UTAR?

• Answer:– Yes, you can do so.– Technically it is called “withdrawal of studies”

2. Meet Your Academic Advisor

• Who is my academic adviser (or Head of department)?

• Answer:– Academic advisor is a lecturer who helps you to plan your

courses/units.

– Look for the name of your adviser or ask the faculty office.

• Case study example:

• A transferred student has– UCCD1003, UCCD1203 and UCCN1003transferred.

• Academic advisor may give advice to the students to take:– UCCD1023, UCCD1133, UCCD1013, UCCM1333, and

UCCM1353 and MPW2133 (total 18 credits).


• Guideline to select your units:– Select “Common Core” units that are pre-requisites to other

units FIRST !!• E.g. UCCN1004 Data Communication and Networks, for CN students.

• E.g. UCCD1003 Programming Concepts and Design for all IT students

• If you don’t take these units first, it will DELAY your graduation.

– Select “Electives” units that are not offered in every semester FIRST !!

– Select “Common Core” units that are pre-requisite to other units FIRST !!

– “Fill in the credits” with “compulsory” units LAST !! (if you have nothing else to take)


• Question: If I can select units “here and there”, why do I need the course structure.

• Answer:– Remember that you HAVE TO pass all the units in the course

structure in order to graduate.

– Though you are allowed to take units “ahead” of yoursemester shown in the course structure by taking maximumallowable credit of 21 hours, the course structure is a good guide that will allow you to graduate in 3 years.

– For Y1T1 students, it is ADVISABLE to try out 18 units first, you MAY NOT be able to cope.


• For Y1T1 students, before you register class

for Y1T2 (Oct 2014), you need to meet with

your advisor.

• Otherwise, you WON’T be able to view and

register your unit in the web.

• Select your units WISELY, otherwise it will

delay your graduation.

Click this and show your unit registration screen.


• Use the Course Timetable Preview screen

to plan your time table.

• Plan wisely or your time table may crash.


• In this stage, you may face time table crash– Crash meaning that the lecture or tutorial of two units at the

same time slots.

• The university only guarantees the units within the same semester in the course structure that will not crash.

• If the time table crash, you have to “sacrifice” one of the units, meaning choose 1 and forget about the other one.

• University won’t shift the time table for you.

• The crash problem will likely to occur if you register units that are not in the same semester as planned out in the course structure.

• This is to train you to take up the responsibility to manage your academic path to graduation.

4. Plan your time table - Action Plan

Plan Your Time Table

• Plan your time table with your course structure.

• Faculty office will make the time table public before you pre-register your units.

Grading System

Grading System

Scheme of marks and grades applicable to intakes before January 2010

Special Note on Grades

• Course structure of Jan 2009 and may 2009

still have a grade ‘D’ (CGPA = 1.0).

• However, course structure of Jan 2010 and

May 2010 don’t have a ‘D’, which include

you.

– After ‘C’, straight away ‘F’.

VERY Special Note on Passing

• Starting 2017, in order to pass a subject,

students are required to have grade of more

than 40 marks in the final exam, even

though the total course grade is more than

50%

• In order to pass, formula (three conditions):

– Final Grade >=50%, (course + exam) AND

– Exam Grade >= 40 marks (exam only) AND

– Course Grade > = 40 marks

VERY Special Note on Passing

• Important example:

– Total Grade = (Course Grade *0.5) + (Final

Exam Grade *0.5)

New Rule on Passing (2020)

• Starting 2019, in order to pass a subject,

students are also required to have grade of

more than 40 marks in the course work, even

though the total course grade is more than

50%

• In order to pass, new formula (two conditions):

– Final Grade >=50%, (course + exam) AND

– Final exam Grade >= 40 marks AND

– Course work Grade >= 40 marks

Failing a subject

• How many times can you fail a subject?

• Answer:– Two times

• You can only take the same subject three times.

• You need to "apply and appeal" for the fourth time.

GPA & CGPA

• QUALITY POINT:– “The Grade Point earned multiplied by the credits of the unit”

• GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA)– “Dividing the sum of all Quality Points earned by the sum of

credits of all attempted in a trimester excluding credits of units which have not contributions to the GPA ”

• CUMULATIVE GRADE POINT AVERAGE (CGPA)– “Dividing the sum of all Quality Points earned by the sum of

credits attempted for all the trimesters excluding credits of units which have not contributions to the CGPA”

GPA and CGPA example

• In Jan 2010 [your 1st semester], you take:– 13 credits, 5 units = four 3-credit units + one 1-credit unit.

– Your result = A, B+, B+, B-, B (1 credit)

– Quality point = (4.0*3) + (3.3*3) + (3.3*3) + (2.7*3) + (3.0 *1) = 12 + 9.9 + 9.9 + 8.1 + 3.0 = 42.9

– GPA (Jan 2010) = 42.9/13 = 3.300

– CGPA (All semester) = 42.9/13 = 3.300

• In May 2010 [your 2nd semester], your take:– 16 credits, 6 units = Five 3-credit units + one 2-credit units

– Your result: A+, A-, B+, B, C+, B- (2 credit)

– Quality point = (4.0*3) + (3.7*3) + (3.3*3) + (3.0*3) + (2.3*3) + (2.7*2) = 12 + 11.1 + 9.9 + 9 + 6.9 + 5.4 = 54.3

– GPA (May 2010) = 54.3/16 = 3.394

– CGPA (All semester) = (Quality points of all semester / all credits) = (42.9 + 54.3) / (13 + 16) = 97.2 / 29 = 3.352

Welcome to UTAR’s Life

Lecturer vs teacher

• A big difference between school and uni is the role of teaching staff

• As their name suggests, school teachers tend to concentrate on teaching and educating students. They might spend a large part of their working day in the classroom engaging with students, and they are generally accessible during (and sometimes after) school hours. The many tasks they do outside the classroom - like preparing and planning lessons or marking work- are often focused around teaching and learning.

• But at uni, lecturers must do more than teach students. Teaching is only one of a broad range of responsibilities your lecturers have. So, if your lecturer is not in her or his office when you drop in, don't think they are avoiding you.

• Uni lecturers don't tell you everything you need to know. In lectures especially, their job is to provide the basic information/ knowledge that you need in order to discover things for yourself.

• Availability

• Most lecturers or tutors set aside consultation times during which they are available to students. If you want to speak to your tutors or lecturers, either make an appointment or visit them during consultation times. If you turn up at other times your lecturer or tutor may not be there, or may not have the opportunity to speak with you.

What do lecturers do?

• give lectures, write lectures , prepare for tutorials, conduct tutorials, prepare course materials

• develop new programs, develop IT literacy, student advocacy, course administration

• mark assignments, consult with individual students, lead field trips

• undertake the research their academic position requires

• publish articles in academic journals

• publish books

• supervise the research of honours/ masters/ PhD students

• referee articles submitted for publication to academic journals

• sit on various uni and professional committees
