Foreign lecturer giving lecture to local students in ecotoxicology (First course introduced in Malaysia by Prof Ahmad Ismail, UPM)
How to make our university recognised and comparable to other world class universities?
Now three out of four research universities in Malaysia are looking for better recognisation. To achieve those vission all must participate; students, staffs, management and leaders of the university. All must clear and understand about the vission and mission of the university and move forwards with it. Students and lecturers must understand the objectives of the programme that they are involved and work hard towards achieving the objectives. No more spoon feeding and wait for what lecturer want to give. Each courses, there will be an objectives and content, presentations and assessment. Students must aware of all these and fulfill the synopsis of the course. High quality students will produce high quality graduates and competitive globally. High quality graduates will show the true quality of the university and teaching practiced. University must provide all faclities physically, morally and financial allocation to run the courses introduced to meet all sorts of expectation such as high quality of knowledge, all skills listed in the learning outcomes and programme outcomes. In order to achieve these all levels of staff must be together and understand the objectives of the university. Everyone must know their duties. University must train all of them as they needed. If we need to compete globally, we need to expose them at global level. We already have MoU with many top universities in the world such as The Tokyo University. Why not we visit them to observe they daily practice and spirit, so that we can practice when we come back to our university. Even some professors also need to be exposed to the world class university. We have brain gain program, why don't we do it and not just on papers.
