The pre-requisite of BEE4724 is BEE4712.
Q: In the timetable, the schedule for PSM1 is on Monday 6-8 pm and the schedule for PSM2 is on Tuesday and Wednesday 6-8 pm. What does it mean?
It doesn't mean that you need to meet your supervisor at 6-8 pm. However, it indicates that, PSM1 and PSM2 students have the commitments of 2 credit hours and 4 credit hours, respectively, every week during the semester. In other words, a student should spend approximately 80 hours* for PSM1 and approximately 160 hours* for PSM2 for the whole semester.
[*According to Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA), Ministry of Higher Education, 1 credit hour is equivalent to 40 hours student learning time.]
Q: How to get a PSM title and a supervisor?
The list of the offered PSM titles will be released on the first day of the semester. Please refer to PSM Title Application.
Q: Can I propose my own project title?
No.
Q: Can I or my Supervisor change the project title during the course?
No. But if modification is required to accommodate the project objectives, that could be allowed. However those changes should be kept minor.
Q: Me and my Supervisor do not get along very well. Can I change my current Supervisor?
Firstly, try not to be in this unhealthy situation. If you're in PSM1, you can just withdraw course for the current semester and then re-select your preferred supervisor in the next semester.
However if you're in PSM2, it's quite complicated. Course withdrawal is not the solution since PSM2 carries your previous work from PSM1.
