Graduates with no quality

Out goes the lecturer

A UNIVERSITI Sains Islam Malaysia lecturer who passed only four out of 157 of her law students claims she was forced to resign so that the university could protect its reputation, Kosmo! reported.

Nor (not her real name) said the reason she left was because she could not stand the pressure from the university management on her to give “sympathy marks.”

“How am I to give extra marks if the marks they got is what they should be getting?” she said, adding that her downfall started when she received a show-cause letter on why so many students had failed.

She was then criticised by her superiors, who also wanted her to add marks based on attendance so as to reduce the number of failures.

“I stood my ground. How could I give them marks for that when it is their responsibility to show up for classes?” she added.

The university declined to comment.

I agree with what the lecturer did!

These students who so-call "graduated" goes out to the working world; do impact to people like us - working out here. There are a few people like these in my working world. Graduated from a established local university. But, can't even "think" even have so many years of experience.

I do beg to the universities in Malaysia to IMPROVE their education quality. The working world here is suffering from these kinda people lingering out here.
