Facebook Learning - CtME

Dear All,

The Centre for Medical Education (CtME), with the assistance of the Learning Resources Dept, will resume the continuing series of lunchtime educational sessions in support of advancing e-learning and use of digital resources at IMU.

The topic for next session is "Facebook for Learning" on Wednesday, 14 April 2010 (14/4/10) from,
12.15pm to 2.00pm. The venue is E-Lab 1 (next to Library), 3rd Floor, Bukit Jalil. The audience will be Academic Staff & Students. Please note that packed lunch will be provided after the session.

Description:
Facebook is a social utility that connects people with friends and others who work, study and live around them. Believe it, or not, there are more than 400 million Facebook users today. In this learning session, we will explore some possibilities on how we could use Facebook as a tool to facilitate student learning. During the hands-on part, participants will be asked to create either a Facebook Group or Facebook Page, so having a Facebook account would be strongly recommended.

As its on first come basis, please register early to ensure a place in the learning session. If you miss a session, visit the E-Learning Innovation Centre in http://www.elearning.imu.edu.my to find the appropriate presentations and learning resources.

Canteen Issues

Dear all,

I have messaged you once about this already, but I'm not sure if you've received it. I apologise if you have not, I have been having troubles with my phone.

Please inform all your batchmates that if they eat in the canteen they have to clean up after themselves. This is because to bring down the price of the food the operators have decided to hire fewer workers, hence we all have to make the habit of cleaning up after ourselves (which really isn't anything more than placing our plates on the trolley and cabinets in the canteen). Thanks everyone for their hard work and future compliance to this. :)

On a related note, De Brio is planning to hire two student part time workers for the cafe in the library. The pay is RM 5 per hour, and the timing is from 9 AM to 5 PM. Those interested, please contact me at 016-2578-520 with your name, ID number and contact details. Please keep in mind that they will be hired by the owner of De Brio, not IMU.

Open Day money is coming, don't worry. Just a few issues I need to sort out. However, I would like to greatly apologise for this delay.

Warmest regards,
Zia Shah

Inter Faith Forum

Hi guys!

Would be great if you could remind your batches about this event through your respective blogs.

The Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist and Catholic Society are having an inter-faith forum on Monday (29th March) at 11 am-1.30 pm at Lecture Theatre 3. Please do come to witness an open and neutral talk on the 'Purpose of Life' by each religion.

Come to learn something new or ask any burning questions you have on religion. It is not often different faiths get to come together to discuss one common topic. Whatever reason it is, this is an event not to be missed! I'm serious :)

The tragedy of life is not so much what men suffer, but rather what they miss. ~Thomas Carlyle

Withdrawal of Jumbo as Main Operator‏

Dear All,

We wish to advise that Jumbo (current main operator) at Pandan Serai Cafe has advised that they will not be renewing their contract which expires on 31 March 2010. Jumbo has indicated that they have been losing money since operation and that their losses were higher since the introduction of vegetarian food by Sri Emas. They had approached us for committed pax and for exclusivity, however, the request does not meet IMU's requirement. From the beginning it had been made known to all operators that:

• There would be 1 main operator and maximum of 3 sub-operators
• No restriction or exclusivity extended to operators to meet IMU's requirement ie student's limited break time, reduction of re-queuing for other items and Cafe Committee will control the pricing/portions

We are aware that recently Jumbo have been awarded a contract to supply food for a committed 300 pax daily with a company.

We have now secured an interested party (after approaching 3 potential operators) to take over as a main operator at Pandan Serai Cafe. Append below is a brief outline of the New Operator - Impian Rasa Foods for your information:

Impian Rasa Foods was registered on 13 November 2008 and it is managed by family members under the ownership of Puan Nor Azizah binti Mustaffa. Currently they have 3 restaurants under the name of :

- Restoran Mutiara Pedas

- Restoran Mutiara Pedas - Taman Industri

- Restoran Mutiara Iman.

Their main operation, a restaurant is based at Puchong.

They are currently operators of Kesas Canteen since 2008 and they are also supplying packed food to SP Setia Berhad on a daily basis. They are also one of IMU caterers.

Jumbo will cease operation at 3pm on Friday 26th, to clear and clean for handover on Saturday 27th to IMU.

Impian Rasa Foods (New Operator) will take over on Saturday 27th to prepare for operation on Monday 29th as main operator at Pandan Serai Cafe.

Wai Ling

MUET & IELTS workshops in IMU (2 April 2010 & 10-11 April 2010)

Just a gentle reminder as I am seeking your assistance to inform all the students for all programmes that the above 2 workshops would be run in IMU soon. Do inform the students and it would be a good idea for you to pass the names of those interested to Ms Danielle Ho at the Postgraduate Office [Office Ext 1302] on Level 1. as she is in charge of the registration.

Apparently, there are still a number of IMU students who are yet to fulfill their minimum English Language IELTS & MUET requirements. It is especially important for all PMS/PDT as well as the MPharm and the Health Science students who have opted for credit transfer to the universities in Australasia fulfill these requirements asap before the matching exercise carried out in early Sem 5.

Please find the attached flyers containing the necessary detailed information, although please note that the date for IELTS workshop is now 10-11 April 2010 and the MUET programme will now be in the afternoon from 1.30-5.30pm.

Thanks a lot for all your assistance.

Couple of Announcements

Hi all, please make the following announcements to your batch asap please. Thanks!

1. Communication Skills Training

Since Communication Skills training has been taken over by CSU and is no longer under the Behavioural Science department, all Communication Skills sessions are compulsory, especially those during Rotations (Semester 3&4). With immediate effect, attendance will affect students EOS paper eligibility. (So please, do skip those classes to study for exams.)

2. Pathology Lab
Dr Sri Kumar has kindly requested that students attend all designated Pathology Lab sessions as Lecturers feel that the time and effort put into teaching at Lab sessions are wasted as very few students attend.

3. Alumni Talk (USMLE)

Justin from M207 will be coming to IMU Bukit Jalil to give a short talk about taking the USMLE exams after Semester 4 lectures (about 6pm). For those interested, the talk will be held at the discussion rooms at Level 2 (near AAD).

That's all for now!

The IMU GYM

To all students of IMU,

The IMU Gym is one of the most highly trafficked areas in IMU. However, it does lack some things. The treadmills have a few problems, there are not enough weights, and too few dumbells, and the equipment malfunctions on occasion. The IMU Health & Fitness Club has been working since day one trying to make it better, and have achieved a small measure of success (evidenced by lockers in the gym, and replacing some wires in the circuit machine).

Amongst other requests, we are lobbying for a computer, a radio (or speakers at least), a security camera, air purifiers, additional weights, consistent maintenance and above all, new equipment. And so on, and so forth...

HOWEVER,

It has become extremely difficult as of late to convince the management in IMU to part with the funds necessary to get all this. This is mainly because of the belief that the gym is not used very often. Because of this, from the 12th of March Onwards there will be a sign-in sheet attached to to door of the gym, or the board next to it.

It is not compulsary to write in one's name and student ID. But in doing so, you will give us proof that the gym IS being used, which will give us the numbers we need to perhaps convince management to speed up in giving the the gym, and the students what facilities we deserve.

So if you happen to use the gym, please write your name and ID as a show of support. Proof of usage could be all we need to convince IMU that the gym needs upgrading/fixing/maintenance, and needs it now.

On a side note, we are also looking for potential candidates for the new committee. Interested individuals please SMS your name, course and student number to 012-3040-397, or email imugym@gmail.com. We will update everyone when application forms will be available.

Thank you all,
