Biomedical Course Option


Date: 17 July 2007
Venue: Main Auditorium, Kulliyyah of Science.
Participants: Students from Biomedical Science Department.

This briefing was conducted by Dr. Mohammad Tariqur Rahman to introduce the idea to offer all core course subjects for Biomedical Science program of Kulliyyah of Science in the future. Currently, the system implemented does not offer all subject so students have to follow the study plan with limited choice of courses offered in a particular semester.

Consequently, few problems arise. For example, students who fail pre-requisite subject (e.g. Physiology I) can still register for higher level subject (e.g. Physiology II) in which this does make sense. Besides that, for clever students, they have no choice other than to finish the four-year program although they are capable to finish it earlier.

The new but not-yet-approved system introduced by 4 lecturers from the department of Biomedical Science; Dr. Mohammad Tariqur Rahman, Sister Zaitunnatakhin Zamli, Sister Intan Azura Shahadan and Madam Athirah Baina Raidah Sanusi aims to abolish such problems in which in a semester, all subjects are offered. However, students still need to follow a plan of courses which is more systematic than the one implemented presently.

With the move to Kuantan campus, there is no problem to implement this new system (when it is approved later) as the kulliyyah has large number of classes and laboratories that can accommodate the increasing number of students.

Therefore, with this briefing session, students of the department were introduced to this new system and to share their views and to detect any flaws that may arise.
