Thats the issue isn't it.
Concern about the rating.

Not to mention, local universities job is to provide workforce to the
industry, the easiest way possible
which is really sad, because not just they did not do that. Thats not a
university job for the first place. They got more than just giving the
industry

 What is interesting in the ranking criteria is that original research 
scores 60% of the marks whereas employability of the grads score 10%. 
That is what set the best apart from the rest - not cari makan but cari 
ilmu.

A world class graduate is one who goes to university to learn how to 
make the world a better place, not find for him/herself a better place.

Open Source is ours to change the world, not our childish rebellious 
escapism.

nampaknya Linux Varsiti di UTM akan berlangsung tak lama lagi..
tapi para speaker masih lagi tak mencukupi (sebab ada yang masih belum beri
saya confirmation)..
at this time, yang confirm is KatieKitty's "Pelajar IT dalam Sumber Terbuka"
and my speech (more on Ubuntu stuff)..
to e1 and also especially to red1, any topic? because both of you are the
most requested speaker for this UTM edition..

lain-lain yang berminat boleh isi slot bengkel dari jam 2ptg hingga ptg
(boleh untuk 2 topik)..
and please fill in this form :-

When UM a few years back about top 100 i did propose to do ADempiere
there (before ADempiere was born) but they always busy, busy, busy..
with the kain rentang menunjukkan UM top 100 dalam dunia. Sekarang
jemput saya pun saya rasa menjatuhkan nama ADempiere pasal ADempiere
dah no.1

Di UTM pun saya sudah naik turun sejak 7 tahun yang silam. Dah kenal
dari Dr Noraini (Dekan Entrepreneur di Semarak), Dr Zuhaimi, Dekan
Matematik Skudai, Dato Zaini Ujang, TNC. .. MTDC, Skit, dan lain lain
lagi. 

Saya rasa Malaysia kita ini lumayan, ada ketua projek utama dunia naik
turun berjumpa mereka pun tak perasan.

 taktik bagus dalam ceramah ialah untuk offer hadiah lumayan. Berikan

AeU, entah keberapa rankingnya kerana baru je terbit.. tapi ada lagi 
berita baik. Lagi sebuah IPTS ingin turut melakukan research centre 
untuk ADempiere. Acheh pula mungkin buka peluang universiti pertamanya 
berdasarkan FOSS. Semua masih dalam berbincangan. Akan dihebohkan

The real issue is, what research, there is no research

There is more to CS than Enterprise Software. Though it is equally worth
studying
And there is many interesting stuff in computer science. program validation,
concurrency, AI, kernel level design, etc. Even application of existing
theory is fascinating. Nope, none is happening.

I am hoping to learn to understand how OS works, or how to write a compiler
when go to university. Instead I just got to learn something that I already
learned before I got into uni.

University that I know of, just turn into a vocational school, and it don't
even do a proper job at that.

Thanks SweeMeng for such insights, cos i never go to university. I can
hardly stand the school system. They do not have subjects i wanted -
astronomy, occult science, psychology, sexology, historical flames,
ancient philosophy to name a few. I mean who can study the boring
sejarah penjajah dan nasionalisma?

I choose to dropout and see the real world myself. It was tough. I was
a wanderer for many years. Learnt to sell air tebu tepi jalan - minum
sendiri jika hujan, pasar malam, penceramah pelbagai jurusan, got
cheated by common cons.

About R&D, you hit on many nails. Indeed those that call themselves
R&D are mere C&P (copy & paste). Like the saying goes,
"Good Artists Copy. Great Artists Steal".
Indeed CS starts with the machine and advanced thru the OS and
compiler. I bought  a book on the JVM like compiler and studied that a
bit and must say it is simpler ta machine level. I was a good C&P
Cobol programmer in early 80s. But the challenge today is to rule an
empire, a global one and whack not one machine version or two, but some
real legends.

SAP anyone?

2009-09-25 Terurut Topik Boh Yap

hi all,

all this debate on the quality of our esteemed universities has been
simmering for so long I just can't refuse not to join in... ;-)

Warning: sarcasm, satire, wit, true facts and logic are all mixed in
here... let's have some healthy debate!

(I am also reposting this to the python.my list, its too good to be
left to waste...

UM used to be good, that was in the days when Msia only had a handful
on Unis, USM, SPM, UKM... Now we have ...how many? 20, 30?...

Yes, edu especally Uni has gone down the tubes in Msia, in that
respect we're becoming a 'banana republic'... when I was Philipines
quite a few years ago, they have a 'University' in a block of shop
house, I thought that was pretty uncool, but then now we have that in
Malaysia. That's progress!

Why that's uncool, well for one thing, you cannot provide a conducive
knowledge-based  environment. How inspiring can it be staring at
another drab building, and hanging out at the local mamak to discuss a
momentous world class technopreneureal idea I think not. Hey you
can't even find a basement to start off your project in...  (like
Google, Yahoo, Youtube...)

Besides shophouse don't make good locations for data-centres,
supercomputing centre (lousy powersupply and cooling), you can't have
a genetics lab (bio hazard!) or a nuclear research lab (nope I don't
think you can fit your heavy-particle collider in here..)... so forget
about 'high' tech. So such a facillities can only be a 'low' tech
'degree mils', churn out as many blur (as sotong) grads as you can.

The other problem of course is you have blur educators (by this I
don't only lay the blame only on lecturers and academic staff but also
those in charge of education policy... they are the ones who determine
the agenda!) Also as someone pointed out, our professors don't publish
papers, well we can't really blame them. The shophouse scenario is not
very inspirational, and they can't have a fancy lab in those tiny
buildings anyway. Also I guess there are also no equivalent peer
reviewed publications like Science  and Nature (where world famous
professors  and Nobel Laurettes publish their papers) in Bahasa
Malaysia...

Talking about 'frightening' scenarios, when visiting a friend who is a
 Assc. Professor in a local Uni, I was handed a syllabus and asked to
guess what year was it for. A quick glance through it and I said
perhaps pre-U or 1st year. Nope, wrong he said, its 3rd Year! Thats
how low standards are! So I asked surely you are unhappy about this
level, can't you teach at a higher level, no, was his reply, the
Lembaga Accredition Negara sets the policy and everyone has to
follow... and that's the standard!

Duh... what does a bunch of bureaucrats know about Comp Sc. Not a lot
it seems!  (this happened abt 3 yrs ago). Now it seems its a bit
better, but they are letting Microsoft determine the syllabus,
groan...

Red1 hit the nail on the spot, a Uni is to 'Cari Ilmu' not 'Cari
makan' (for both students and lecturers!) but we have since lost the
ideal. Also, our edu system are like mushroom farms - "keep the
students/mushrooms in the dark and feed them a lot of sh*t". So all
this spoon-feeding produces a bunch of workers who are totlly without
initiative and waiting to be told what to do.

Let me back that up with another anecdote, a friend who was embarking
on a project involving embedded processors, spoke to a Uni professor
to get 1 or 2 of his better students to work on the project to qualify
for their industrial training. This friend is a very experianced
design engineer that has worked for >15 years in multinational
semiconductor companies, certainly used to leading project teams. The
usual briefing tookplace, outlining of targets/goals, providing
documentation and h/w (PCBoard for microprocesor development...) and
after 2 week on non-productivity, the student wss asked whay hasn't
he/she produced anything? The answer was - "...you didn't show me how
to do it!" Then at the end of the industrial training, the guy had the
cheek to ask, why he was'nt given a glowing report?!

So aren't our edu system producing mushrooms? Mushrooms who think they
are very important and that the world owes them a living?

And if this a better student, then what are the 'not so good ones' like?

And exams,... well passing an exam only shows that that particular
person is good at passing exams, not neccesarily his actual skills.
Especially when its not evaluated with other types of work... And now
we have projects... ah another anectdote, this is from a Uni near to
cyberjaya (students, take note if you want good project papers...)
some of the students are pooling money together to hire Indian
programmers working in Cyberjaya to write their projects for them!
Lecturers found out when otherwise mediocre students were turning out
'professional quality' code in their projects!

Yes Malaysians are good at 'gaming' the system.


 And now a pop quiz question, to all the OSS readers out there...
