This Semester's Subject...

What’s up all! This is my 3rd semester in Uitm Segamat and it’s a tough one compared to those past 2 semesters. This is because we are going to take 7 subjects; they are BEL 311, BMD 101, QMT 216, CTU 241, ECO 211, FIN 262, and HKR 113.

Firstly, BEL 311 which stands for English for Academic Purposes is a compulsory subject for part 1 until part 3 students and what more, it’s a pre-requisite one. So be careful everyone! The assessments for this subject are: 30% for written assignment, 20% for speaking test, 10% for attendance and 40% for final examination. Believe it or not, we got the same lecturer when we were in part 2. At first I was speechless but after some time, I re-thought that every cloud has a silver lining. My BEL 311 lecturer is absolutely a very strict person, everyone knows about it, but despite that he is a great man. All I can say about this subject is “whatever it is, you have to do your best Nabila, or else you’ll fail!” haha! This subject gives us a great impact on the cgpa as it holds 3 credit hours. BEL 311 is my 2nd favorite subject after BMD 101. This is due to my interest to learn more languages in my life and my target for this subject is to do my best and I hope that one day, I will be able to speak fluently just like my lecturer.

Second subject which is BMD 101 stands for Mandarin Language. It is such an interesting subject, err well maybe for those who has never learned it before like me. We are so grateful to be in this Mandarin class rather than Arabic and have Mr. Lim Yoon Chong as our lecturer. He is a very kind and funny person and he always able to make his students laugh. My first impression on this subject is, I always thought that Mandarin is quite tough but after start learning it, I found that learning Mandarin is very easy and it will happen naturally. For this subject, we will not have the final examination but we do have oral, listening and writing test. This subject is totally my favorite as I love learning languages and literature. Although it holds only 2 credit hours and won’t affect the cgpa that much, yet I will do my best. Just like BEL 311, I also hope that I can speak fluently in Mandarin just like “laoshi” one day.

My third subject which is QMT 216 which stands for Introduction to Statistics holds 3 credit hours and it is conducted by PM Ruhana Zainudin. Ermm, there’s nothing weird about her to be noticed and I can say that she is a quite pious woman. Just for your information, during the 2 hours of statistics lecture, she can spend 1½ hours just to tell us some religious talks. How sweet….and for this semester, I really feel like I actually take 2 classes of CTU rather than statistics. Haha! But I don’t think that as something bad because I am a normal human too and I do make mistakes, so it’s great that she is there to guide us. It’s like killing two birds with one stone. The assessments for this subject are: 10% for test 1, 10% for test 2, 10% for quizzes, 10% for assignment and 60% for the final examination. My impression for this subject is, I feel this subject is quite tough and yes, it really is! Huh… My target for this subject is to get an A of course and try to be a good muslimah and achieve al-falah. Lalala…

Fourthly, my next subject is CTU 241 which stands for Fundamental for Islamic Economics is conducted by our lecturer, Siti Aishah bt Sokhibul Fadil which we call her as Ustazah Siti. She is really cute and happy-go-lucky person and talkative too, so we didn’t feel so bored during the class. For the assessment for this subject are: 15% for test, 15% for assignment, 10% for presentation and 60% for the final examination. Even though this subject cannot be considered as a tough subject, I really didn’t understand why I never got an A during my past 2 semesters here. So for this semester I really hope that I can get my A for the first time. Poor me…. This subject is quite complicated for me, so I didn’t really favor it but whatever it is, I do hope I will get flying colours in this subject. Even though it only worth 2 credit hours which won’t help much with the pointer but still, I will do my best.

Fifthly, this is what I called “killer” subject; it is FIN 262 which stands for Fundamentals of Finance. Our lecturer for this subject is Mdm. NorSaliza. She is still new as a lecturer but she is good and able to manage our class beautifully. I am happy to have her as our lecturer due to her kindness. All I can say about this subject is, it really is a tough one. So do we have any other choice than to study hard? Well, we all have to if we intend to further our studies until part 4 and above. The assessments for this subject are: 10% for test 1, 10% for test 2, 10% for quizzes and 10% for assignment and 60% for final examination. Why I called this as the killer subject is because it is so hard, yet it holds 4 credit hours which will affect our pointer, thus we have to do our best! Ganbatte neh!!

The other subject that I feel like a burden to me is ECO 211 which stands for Macroeconomics. The person in-charge for this subject is Miss Diyana bt Isahak which is also a new lecturer in Uitm Segamat. She is a kelantanese, so prepare yourself as you will always hear the kelantanese dialect when she speaks. As a new lecturer, I can say that she really adapts well and I am confident that one day she will become a good lecturer. ECO 211 holds 3 credit hours which is also a pre-requisite subject and it is the continuation of ECO 162 which were taken when we were in part 2. Good for us, nobody failed in ECO 162 so we can further our ECO 211 without any disturbances. The assessments for this subject are: 10% for test 1, 10% for test2, 10% for quizzes, 10% for assignment and 60% for final examination. If you asked whether this is my favourite subject, it’s absolutely a no! Hmm…. I don’t know why because I really love ECO 162 but maybe not for ECO 211. Anyhow, I just hope that I can success so that I can get DL for this semester.

Last but not least, as part 3 students we still have our co-curriculum. My co-curriculum subject for this semester is HKR 113 which stands for Mosque Management. This subject is only worth 1 credit hour and will not affect our cgpa that much but still, I want to give my best. My first impression for this subject is, it is an easy task and I will get an A for sure but my thoughts are so wrong! When I re-thought about this, it is like I am taking 3 classes of CTU for this semester. So I hope by the end of this semester, I can be a good muslimah like I said for my QMT 216 subject.

To put it in a nutshell, I really hope that I will get excellent result in all subjects so that I can make my parents proud.
