Students of Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) who would like to take LHP456 Spoken English as one of their courses have to go to the School of Languages, Literacies and Translation (SoLLaT) to register the course.
Different from previous semesters, this semester, LHP456 is not available on campusonline for students to register before semester reopens. Students have to go to SoLLaT to register themselves during the first week of semester.
According to the Dean of SoLLaT, Prof. Dr Tengku Sepora Tengku Mahadi, the reason they decided to make such move is due to the online system which could not allow students to choose the group and time they wanted.
“This causes many students to add and drop courses early in the semester because they realised the timetable clashing with another courses, or the group is already full”, she said.
“This further makes teachers difficult to confirm the number of students early and they will have difficulties to find classrooms if the students requested to change the time”, added Dr Tengku Sepora.
She does not encourage students to register the course at SoLLaT on behalf of their friends.
“This is because we would like to avoid students who did not attend the lectures, claiming that they did not know they’ve registered the course, when in fact their friends registered for them”, she added.
Asking about whether the same registration procedures continues in the coming semester, Dr Tengku Sepora said the school has not decided yet.
“It depends on the efficiency of the procedure. If registration at SoLLaT found to be more efficient, we’ll make the same thing in the coming semesters. If registration through campusonline and SoLLaT has no much difference in efficiency, we’ll allow students to register through campusonline again”, she explained.
