Pool and snooker batch announcements

Got to tell you people that today has been a long and tiring day. Not easy watching game after game of elimination rounds. :( ... of eliminating friends..

Anyway, for pool we're down to the final 8 people (guys).
They are (forgive me for spelling errors):
1. Jonathan 5. Murresh
2. Reza 6. Matthew
3. Morgan 7. Benedict
4. Kyle 8. Winner of Ickes and Ash (1 rack elimination)

To determine the winner, a grid has been drawn and is currently with Reza. (best of 3 winner move on, loser out) choosing the final 2 guys to represent our batch will have to go on tomorrow and latest by Monday.

This applies for the girls as well. Only one girl for pool. Among those signed up:
lydia, Izzy, Faye, Shu.
Girls try to challenge among yourselves and decide who will be playing.

Now about worries.
- The members of the pool committe have agreed to have the pool cup beginning next week. Most probably Wednesday onwards.
2 male and 1 female. All are singles matches.

To clarify some doubts about pool and snooker
Since pool and snooker are two different sports, anyone who will be playing pool can (and if are good in snooker) should play for that as well as they will represent our batch.
On a lighter note, others whom have not signed up for snooker may very well try out.

Snooker
3 male and 1 female - 2 males singles and 1 mixed doubles

By the way, there's no captain for either sport so I'm not sure whom to submit the names to.

Also, those who are utilizing the pool table please register as a member (meaning you will have to pay up too) of the pool and snooker club as they cannot maintain the table and organize events if they do not have sufficient funds. Membership is for RM 5.

Finally, everyone in the imu cup, even at practices, be supportive and have lots of fun. Remember we are sportsmen & women. :)

Thanks guys for being very cooperative today. SORRY if you had to wait and stuff. imagine me.. Y was i doing this?? haha. JIA YOU!

This was long.. time to pbl!!!

Hi,

Update from AAD : students taking the exam in Oct/Nov will have to submit their results to AAD as soon as they receive it.

Hello everyone,

This is a message from Prof Khoo regarding our Museum Session this Friday. Please take note.

Regards
Lydia

In the same tradition as our first Comparative Anatomy Museum Session
we had this morning where we all had fun gathering facts, we also
embarked on a audio journey into the Comparative anatomy of the
different classes of vertebrates, I've decided that we extend that fun
for one more session this Friday:-

Please tell everyone that each table (total 4) has to have research and
discuss with table members the following (choose one for each table; not
repeatable) :-

a) Theme : " importance of teeth in the field of paleoanthropology"
Members of this table are belong to the National Geographic
Paleoantrhopological Society. These members will share with all of us
your experience, an insight into what you do and also why teeth are so
important in this field. Take about 8-10 minutes

b) Theme : " inter-relationships of fossil hominid types to one another
and to modern humans". Members of the table are ancient fossils. You are
all going to tell us in 8-10 minutes how you all are inter-related to
each other and to the modern humans.

c) Theme : "significance of characteristic craniofacial and dental
features that separate some of the fossil hominid types". Members of the
table will speak up against each other to tell us in 8-10 minutes the
cranifacial and dental features that separte some of you fossil hominid
types.

d) significance of characteristic craniofacial and dental features that
separate apes and modern humans.
Members of the table will speak up against each other to tell us in
8-10 minutes the cranifacial and dental features that separte some of
you fossil hominid types.

This museum session is informally carried out based on some formal
structured themes we think you should appreciate. After this round of
discovery-sharing, we wil issue you some structured study guidelines (as
we did today) for you to work on, then we will wind up with a
continuation of the audio journey into the human world.

Dont wind yourself up too much, you're not being assessed, try and have
fun!

Please tell your friends that everyone should participate.

Thank you.

Regards,

Prof Khoo

I hope that the contents is right though. Please check and make any corrections. Well, it is simple but I guess it's better than the black background, right?

Welcome to Semester 2!

Hope all of you enjoyed COP and vacation.

Also, don't forget to write up your COP reports! I know that some of you are wondering how much percentage does the COP report carry for your End of Semester 2 exams, I'm waiting for the reply from Dr. Judson, the EOS 2 coordinator to get final confirmation, so I will update you in the next email. Well, whether it's 2%, 0%, - just write up the report the best you can and according to the format given!

Final update - Support your IMU bookstore - all of the books needed for Foundation 2 are available from VK bookstore, and I believe your batch reps have also written an excellent review about the books that you should consider getting for Semester 2. If you have any doubts about the books you need, do not hesitate to consult your seniors!

Cheers,

Mezhen

Summative 1 Results is out!

Hey batchmates, guess wut.. Summative Results are out!!

Ways to get it....

1. Logging in to IMU email http://mail.imu.edu.my/gw/webacc, default password is 123456 and username is your student ID. (AAD said on 4th July when i asked them. But it's inaccurate.. I apologize for that.)
2. Log in to personal email and check. It's there...(applies to all of us)
3. Go to IMU Academic Department and get it from Ms Aziah, Extension 2037.
4. Ask ur friends to help u take the result slip by providing the ID number :)

DENTISTRY students get from Pn Zainah Sheriff at Extension 2026

Percentage:

12.5% from Summ 1 n 2, 3% from Air Topic, 2% from Interview, EOS 2 should be 70%

Summative answers

1st and foremost, I have to sincerely apologize to all our batchmates that we currently do not have a complete set of Questions and Answers. All we have is the answer, which is pointless without the questions.

I asked Dr Sue Chen regarding posting of summative question on the blog and she strictly forbidded it. It is copyrighted and it is against IMU's policy to give students pass year questions.

Although i do not really understand what is in the way in giving pass years to students, however, i shall try and consult the academic department regarding this issue.

Thx for the patience,

Batch Rep
We’ve already voiced out our complaints many times in SRC, SAD and even directly to the Admin about the ridiculous dress code that must be adhered at all times.
We certainly understand that it’s a bit hard to follow the rule, but please try k? There have been complaints from hospitals and Partner Medical Schools that IMU students don’t dress properly and don’t look professional at all. This caused great inconvenience to the school as partner schools and Practitioners threatens to pull out from IMU. We certainly do not want more limited choices of Partner schools in Future rite?

However, I personally believe that the door is still open in future for us to dress slightly not formal in school. But for now, we need to set a good example first to gain the authorities’ trust. We do welcome comments and suggestions from our fellow batchmates. Thank you

Regards,
Korwoi
