好像从林吉祥的私人BLOG传帖的,读下
http://blog.limkitsiang.com/index.php?paged=3
I just steal this piece of writing from clement's without his conscent. hope he wont bring me to court on this. But his is really so well written that i also feel like i will have alot to say myself, but of course not now, futher thought on it later when i am free:
I graduated from the Faculty of Computer Science and IT, UM two years ago. I was so happy the moment I received an offer letter from UM confirming my application to the course was successful.
I thought it was the best public university in Malaysia, even better than any private colleges in Malaysia. I thought the best lecturers and academicians must be gathered in UM, the best education system must be there, etc.
Soon after the first semester started, I began to feel skeptical about my pervious perception of the quality of education offered by UM. But after the second, third and fourth semesters, the situation still remained the same. I was totally disappointed and devastated at that time.
Is this the so-called best University in Malaysia? I wondered then. I started to realize why those ministers and wealthy parents are sending their children to study overseas instead of aiming for local universities.
Here are the "unbelievable qualities" of the lecturers I encountered throughout my three-year journey in "The Best University in Malaysia".
1) Why were some lecturers (even Professors) seemed to be wasting time while conducting lecture. And why would they often digress from subject syllabus and talk nonsense topics. Why would they always expect students to read (actually memorize without much understanding because lecturers do not explain) on their own. If so, why do we need the lecturers? Then, why do we need to attend varsity? Wouldn't it be good if we can sit back at home and absorb knowledge on our own? We can even save the fees paid to university!
2) Why the ALL the lectures in my faculty do not have their own self-compiled books on the subjects they are responsible for. They would simply pick a book on the market (always written by US authors and do not seem to be suitable for Asian students) and then all the content of that particular book would automatically be the syllabus for that paper. (I know lecturers of private colleges must have their own self-compiled books, every one of which is a concentrated combination of several books in addition to their own thoughts, opinions and research). More seriously, they do not even have the capability to summarize the essence of the chosen book to be used during lecture. Instead, they would use bulat-bulat the PowerPoint note attached to the book as the material to be projected on the screen while teaching.
3) The material presented to the students are bulat-bulat without any modification from the book. Then, the lectures would start their lesson by again reading out each of the sentences written on the PowerPoint note. Once in a while, the lectures would add a bit of their so-called explanations" which are actually not significant, not insightful, no moot point and often taken from the text book itself. Are the students attending lectures just to listen to them mumbling [deleted] throughout a lesson without gaining any insightful speech, opinions and analytical thoughts from the lecturer?
4) Why some of the lecturers do not have confidence at all in their eyes while teaching? They would just conduct their lessons in their reading style with a self-esteem-less look. Sometimes I noticed those lecturers who are lousy enough not even dare to stare face-to-face or have eye-contacts with students while teaching. What the crutch-bound lecturers care about is their own bowl of rice without considering whether or not their students learn something useful.
5) As I said earlier, the lecturers actually solely use commercial books as their teaching materials. Most lecturers always dodge from using a technical book for teaching a particular subject. They often choose a book discussing from a general perspective without touching much technical aspects (which is always much more difficult) of a subject. Without much technical skills, this is why so many IT students from local universities are unemployed. All a company wants from an IT employee are technical skills, nothing else, at least before getting promoted to managerial levels. Why the lecturers dodge? Clearly all the students know that the lecturers themselves do not have technical skills. Why they do not have technical skills at all? This is because local universities do not impose industrial working experience as a pre-requisite to becoming a lecturer at local universities. This means if those lecturers want to work in the IT sector after several years of teaching, they have to start from the bottom because they have no skills. On the other hand, working experience in the IT sector is necessary to becoming a lecturer at private college. That's why IT courses offered by private colleges are so much better in terms of quality and practicality. When it comes to graduate unemployment, who deserves the blame the most? I think it is the Deans who mismanage their faculties, the lecturers who are by far unqualified, selfish and lazy and of course the Malaysia's education system as a whole.
6) I wonder at the standard of English of the lecturers hired in local universities. Those older lecturers clearly have a much better command of English than the younger ones. Sadly, most of the younger lecturers' English levels are just unacceptable. Some of them just use broken English mingled with bahasa while teaching. Some would just totally avoid using English at all! What? This kind of lecturers can be found in the "Best Varsity in Malaysia"? No kidding, it is very true! There are abundant totally unqualified lecturers in local universities. What a shame! With so many lecturers being weak at English, can we expect our students to be good at English when they graduate from universities? Our national English level has been plunging since English was replaced by bahasa as the language of instruction. Now it has reached the lowest point since Malaysia's independence. Can I ask you a question YB Lim? Whose idea was it in the government to replace bahasa with English in the 1960s? It was such a stupid, short-sighted, tunnel-view, and selfish proposal!
7) A year after graduating from UM, I received an email from a so-called Venture Capitalist saying he was interested in commercializing my final year IT project. I was baffled at the beginning at at had happened. After exchanging a few emails with the Venture Capitalist, it dawned on me that the UM lecturer in charge of marking my final year IT project had presented it without my consent at a IT conference attended by academicians and investors in the IT field. I was told by the venture capitalist that the UM lecturer even claimed credit on the project presented at the conference, and my name was put as the second co-author of it. A few weeks later, I was asked to personally present my complete project at an IT company in front of the venture capitalist and the CEO of that company. Even though they finally turned down my project after the presentation, the CEO told me that I could actually take legal action against the lecturer who had misappropriated my project and claimed credit on it. There are not just abundant of lousy lecturers, but even unethical lecturers in out local varsity!The quota system for university entry is bad enough, but the biased process of hiring lecturers at local varsities is much deadlier. If one fails to get into local varsity, he can always go to a private one. When unqualified lecturers are hired just to help a particular race, it affects all the students indiscriminately whether they are from STPM or Matriculation. Imagine, a one-hour lesson is often attended by around 100 students. If a lousy lecturer fails to deliver a quality lesson attended by a 100 students, he or she literally wastes 1000 combined hours (1 hour lesson X 100 students).
University graduates should have learned a lot by the time they graduate if there were not so many unqualified lecturers in local universities impeding students from gaining useful and practical knowledge. What makes me so sad is that students in local universities are so blindly meek and obedient, they would not dare to complain or even protest even they get the worst lecturers and education.
All the above-mentioned points have transformed our university-level education system into a rigid memorization-based one. When a lousy lecturer conducts a lesson, he or she would just follow blindly what is in the text book without much explanation of his own, not to mention their own analytical views and inspiring opinions. Without much understanding, the students would resort to merely memorizing whatever appears in the textbooks. Not surprisingly, most examination papers I have taken were well pandered to the memorization-based environment triggered by those unqualified lecturers. Moreover, most examination questions are not original; they are often copied from books or the internet.YB Lim, you have got to believe me that I will never allow my children to attend any local universities in the future after I personally experienced all the nightmares in University Malaya. Honestly, I only came across 2 or 3 good lecturers throughout my whole course consisting of more than 30 papers. Of course, one can argue that there are still 1 or 2 good faculties in UM like Medicine and Engineering. My opinion is that most students in those faculties are exceptionally excellent. Even if they do not get good lecturers to guide them, they still can perform quite well. Of course, if they could get the best lecturers in the country, I think we will be able to produce our first Nobel Winner soon in the future.

这贴我从马大学园copy来的，那里有人翻译了
http://chinese2.cari.com.my/myfo ... &extra=page%3D2
我只是偷这幅作品克莱门特的conscent没有他.
我希望他早就把这个法庭. 但他真的那么好写,我觉得我也有自己手说,当然不是现在,再来思考后,我对自由:
我毕业于计算机科学系,两年前UM. 我这样一个快乐的时刻,我收到来信UM提出申请时,证实我国获得成功.
我认为这是最好的公立大学在马来西亚,甚至比任何马来西亚私立大学. 我认为最好的讲师和学者云集必须UM,必须有良好的教育体制等
第一学期开始后不久,我开始感到我的前途持怀疑态度,认为素质教育提供了UM. 但在第二、第三和第四学期,情况仍然相同. 我很失望,完全破坏当时.
这就是所谓的大学在马来西亚最大? 我当时不知道. 我开始认识到,为什么这些富有的家长们送子女出国念书是不是着眼于本地大学.
这里是"不可思议性"的讲演,我在我的遭遇三年之"最佳马来西亚大学".
1)为什么有些讲师(连教授)似乎浪费时间,进行讲演. 为什么他们往往会偏离主题,课程主题胡扯. 为什么他们总是希望学生阅读(其实没有什么了解,因为背不解释讲师)自己. 如果这样,我们为什么要演讲? 那么,为什么要参加varsity? 如果不是很好,我们可以坐在家里对自己吸收知识. 我们甚至可以节省费用,大学!
2)为什么我的所有老师讲课没有自己的自我书的题目是由负责. 他们只挑了一本书,在市场上(美国总是写作者,似乎不适合亚洲学生),那么所有的内容,特别是本书将自动课程该文件. (据我所知,私立大学讲师要有自己自我编辑的书籍,这是每一个有几本书集中相结合除了自己的思想、见解和研究). 更为严重的是,他们甚至没有能力选择书的本质概括用在演讲. 相反,他们将利用Bulat-BulatPower的书所附的说明材料,预计将在屏幕上授课.
3)材料提交学生Bulat-Bulat全书没有任何改变. 随后,他们将开始讲座课,又分别宣读了书面判决的Power说明. 偶尔,演讲会增加一点所谓的解释,"这并不是很大,不深入、不实际的问题,往往从教科书本身. 参加演讲的学生都是刚刚听他们长大[删除]在没有取得任何有价值的一课言论、思想的看法和分析讲师.
4)为什么一些讲师没有信心,在他们眼中,所有的教学? 他们只是在阅读方式进行总结与自尊,少考虑. 有时我发现这些讲师有足够笨甚至不敢迎面对面或眼睛,而教学与学生接触. 拐子什么方向讲师关心的是自己吃,不考虑是否赖斯学生学习有所作为.
5)正如我所说,本书作为商业用途仅是讲师教材. 道奇最经常使用的技术讲师书教学题材. 他们往往选择从总体来看,书中讨论到许多技术问题(总是更难)一个主题. 没有什么技能,这也是为什么许多人失业,当地大学的学生. 公司所有员工都希望从它的技术,事情就好办,最少才晋升到管理阶层. 道奇讲师为什么? 所有学生清楚知道自己没有技术讲师. 为什么他们没有技能吗? 这是因为没有把工业大学工作经验作为首要条件,成为本地大学的讲师. 这意味着如果要为讲师,经过几年的教学部门,要由下而上,因为他们没有能力. 另一方面,它的工作经验,要成为一个部门的私人学院讲师. 那为什么这么课程私立大学好得多品质和实用性. 毕业时失业,他们应该最怪? 我认为这是他们的失误,他们学院院长,主讲人远远地、自私、懒惰,当然马国教育体系的整体利益.
6)我不知道在英语讲师,聘请当地大学. 这显然有讲师以上的英文比好多年轻人. 不幸的是,最年轻的讲师是不可接受的英文水平. 有的只用英文夹杂破碎而印尼语教学. 一些想完全避免使用英语! 什么? 这种讲师可见"最佳varsity马来西亚"吗? 不开玩笑,这是非常正确的! 有丰富的本地大学的讲师全部不合格. 什么是耻辱! 这么多的英语讲师软弱,才能使学生能在良好的英文大学毕业时? 全国英语水平已经使我国从英文改为印尼语作为教学语言. 现在已经到了最低点,因为马来西亚的独立. 请问你一个问题约见廉. 它的意思是在与英国政府将在1960印尼语? 这是愚蠢、短视、隧道,以及建议自私!
7)UM毕业一年,我收到了来自电子邮件所谓创业者说,他希望最后一年,我国商业项目. 我感到在年初在发生. 经过数交换电子邮件与创业,我恍然大悟,原来的讲师UM负责标识最后一年,该项目已没有我的同意,在出席会议的学者和投资者在这方面. 我告诉风险资本家,UM讲师甚至声称该项目在会议上提出,为把我的名字是第二次共同作者. 几周后,我被要求亲自出席了我国在工程完成前,公司的创业者和总裁,公司. 即使最终否决了我提出的项目后,总裁对我说,我真的采取法律行动的讲师有32,683人声称,在我国工程. 不仅有丰富的讲师儿戏,甚至在讲演中不道德varsity地方! 配额制度是坏透进入大学,但有录用过程非常残酷varsities本地讲师. 如果不进入本地varsity,他可以到一个私人的. 不只是受雇当讲师,帮助某一种族,不分是否对所有学生都来自STPM或预科. 试想,一个小时左右的课通常100名学生参加. 如果不作儿戏讲师素质课100名学生参加了,他或她从废物合计1000小时(1小时100名学生第十课).
大学毕业生应该学到了很多东西,如果毕业的时候没有那么多不妨碍当地大学的讲师,学生获得实用知识. 最令我难过的是,这所大学的学生如此盲目服从和温顺,他们不敢抱怨抗议,甚至连坐最差的讲师和教育.
上述各点,我们改变了大学教育程度为背僵硬性. 当儿戏讲师进行课,他或她只是盲从是本书的全文,没有什么自己的解释,更遑论自己的看法和分析意见振奋. 没有什么了解,学生将采取一切似乎只是在背诵教科书. 不足为奇的是,我所采取的是最试卷及当前的记忆型环境引发的讲师资格. 此外,大多数试题并不是原来; 他们常常抄袭书籍或Internet.yb廉,你相信我,我绝对不会让我的孩子没有参加大学今后在我亲身经历了所有的噩梦马来亚大学. 老实说,我只看到我在2、3好整个过程由讲师以上的30家报纸. 当然,我们可以说,还有1、2好喜欢UM医学与工程学院. 我认为大多数的学生都非常优秀院系. 即使得不到好的讲师引导他们,他们仍然可以发挥相当不错. 当然,如果能在国内最好的讲师,我想我们可以先搞出我们在不久的未来诺贝尔奖得主.
