To Whom It May Concern:

Examination unit of UiTM has officially released a very first draft of a final examination schedule of this semester (April 2009), is as follows:

1) 20th April 2009 [(Monday) (9.00 am – 12.00 pm)]:

This final examination schedule, which I enclose in this post, consists of merely four codes that everybody had previously registered for them via student portal respectively. Hence, please obtain other sources for further information.

In fact, I had already attached the first draft of the final examination schedule in PDF-formed file to your e-mail prior to a new post published on my blog, thus, you may check for a date and time of the remaining codes. Should you find the details easily, just open the PDF file and press ‘Ctrl’ + ‘F’ buttons on your computer/laptop keyboards simultaneously; the ‘Find Tool’ may pop up. Type the subject code(s) you intend to search for in the Find Tool and, Walla; the details (the date and time of the code) may appear on the right side of the subject code.

By the way, the schedule is subject to change(s).

May the excellence be with us!

Thank you.

Second Test - TSL450 (Reminder!)

Assalamualaikum…

Dear colleagues,

There is the latest notification brought to you by Mr. Muhmad Nur (message received at 1.44 pm - 12th March 2009).

The second test covers a number of chapters – start from chapter six to twelve. Besides, he told me that he will have us tested in the morning before we go for 'commercial break.'

Best of luck!

Thank you.

TSL521 - Presentation (Slides & Written Report)

Assalamualaikum…

Dear colleagues,

There was a message sent by Mr. Nasirin Abdillah regarding our class on this Friday (I received it last Saturday):

“TSL521 is on as usual next week, 6 March. All presentations and papers must be completed. Marks will be deducted for any delay. Please come on time. Class starts at 8 am. Inform others.”

Well! It sounded rather odd since this was my first time receiving that sort of strictly typed short message from Mr. Nasirin. You better watch yourself and do prepare for your presentation (slides and written report) as requested by him.

Do not even try to awaken the lion!

Wassalam…

P/S: Text highlighted in red indicates 'highly jeopardized' (the state in which Ultraman's light indicator blinks!).

I had already confirmed that matter with Mrs. T.S. Aini at 4.10 pm.

Please inform the rest.

Thank you.

Two Tests on This Weekend - TSL521 and TSL485

Assalamualaikum…

Please take note that we will be sitting for two tests in this weekend; TSL521 – Literature in the English as a Second Language Classroom and TSL485 – Applied Phonetics and Phonology. For those who do not even start to open their book to read (including me; LOL!), please do initiate reading from this moment.

Remember! Make yourself proud! Be honest to yourself! Do not even try to ‘play dirty’ on these tests such as cheating and copying others’ answer(s). Most lecturers know that you are trying to cheat during tests but they do not want to disappoint you or to put paid to you. Some incidents in the past had already proven it!

Other universities allow lecturers to give students oral examinations on some papers as they believe the students (who cheated in tests) will not be able to cheat at all cost when tested orally! For sure, we do not want that sort of circumstance to happen in our institution.

If you do not want any of your soon-to-be students to cheat in tests and quizzes (or, worse case scenario, cheat you out of something), then please stop cheating, otherwise, someday you will find that sort of students be in your class!

Remember! WYDIWYG! What does WYDIWYG stand for? What You Design Is What You Get! Well! Who knows, you might find people of your ‘kind’ who will do what you did or even worse than what you ever did. You do bad to people, they pay you back for it! I also believe that, sooner or later, we will be responded with each of what we do/did.

The world is a circle without a beginning,
And nobody knows where it really ends,
Everything depends on where you
Are in the circle that's spinning around,
Half of the time, we are upside down…

Please, intrinsically, reform yourselves. You do not want your life to be out of His blessing as the price for you to pay for what you did in the past.

Thank you.

Whose Dictionary Is It Anyway?

Assalamualaikum…

To Whom It May Concern:

I believe that somebody might, completely unawares, have forgotten to fetch his/her Oxford Dictionary (English-English-Malay) left in the classroom after being dismissed from EDU550 (Educational Psychology) class yesterday – 31st January 2009.

The dictionary is wrapped with plastic cover and, beneath the hard cover of it, some words are vividly written – ‘UPSI 2004’ and ‘MY KOMPUTER PASSWORD “Deli 05”.’ Neither name nor nickname appear on it to show whom it belongs to.

If you think you have lost your dictionary, please come and see me to claim it in the next class.

Thank you.
