Visiting International Students in Malaysia

With ISKL  Students
In the last two weeks of April, I was involved in a student recruitment campaign in Malaysia. At the end of the trip, we have visited three different international schools, two banking groups and three other parent groups. Overall, the recruitment campaign was to create awareness among the parents and the prospective students about the benefits and advantages of further studies in Canada in general and Fraser International College in particular.

With HSBC Priority Clients
After speaking with these different groups, we realized that there were little or no information about the advantages of furthering with tertiary education in Canada. Majority of Malaysians and international students that have intention to further studies overseas only look at Australia, United Kingdom or United States. I have met with at least three hundred international high school students and parents within the two weeks.

With Kuala Lumpur International
We started with the upscaled Cempaka International School in Damansara Heights and Cheras. Followed a day later, meeting with the students from Kuala Lumpur International School, and two days after at International School of Kuala lumpur in Ampang. We also spoke in HSBC's Shah Alam branch's seminar organized to speak on tertiary education. In between these appointments, we also took the opportunity to meet with groups of parents.

MTH099 Final Exam

MTH099 Final Exam
I took over the MTH099 course just before the fourth week in the semester after the assigned course instructor injured herself in a freak incident that left her not able to lift her arm. While she continues to nurse her injuries, I accepted to temporary assume the instructor responsibilities for both the MTH099 classes. So, we have actually reached this stage of the semester. The final exam which was initially scheduled for next week was rescheduled to this morning to accommodate the students' need for post exam support.

Final Exam
This math final exam will also mark the final class the students will have for this semester. And, the final exam results will only be announce by the college at the end of the semester. There will be one more week where students can drop in during office hours to check on their assignment submission. Then, at the end of week thirteen the semester will be closed and the real final exam week starts. As for the MTH099 class, students will just have to wait for their results to be announced.
