asasi undang undang uitm shah alam (kptm) - semester satu wee *_*
Hello there!
After 5 months studying, I finally finished my first semester!! *throws confetti*
Firstly, I don't know what should I write (even though I planned to write so many things during this semester break but lol my brain is not functioning very well....ok what a lame reason) I guess, I'll just share some information for you kids need for Law Foundation!! (for first semester only :3)

Oh anyway, all foundation students (science, engineering, law and TESL) will move to a new campus special for foundation students located in Dengkil. And my batch will be the first batch to conquer that place lol. Hopefully it would be fun there since there will be less distractions than here... or maybe even worse!!
In the first semester, you will learn 7 subjects. The subjects are :-
- CSC134 - Computer & Information ProcessingYou will learn about the computers and how they work. Topics involved are storage, system unit, application software, system software, internet, communications, privacy,security, ethics and many more. This subject is an okay subject for me. (but for final exam, there'll be a lot of things you need to memorize.... T.T)
- CTU085/IDA - Islamic World ViewFor non-Muslims, you'll learn other subject (I forgot the subject name though). Basically, Islamic World View is same like Tasawwur subject. For this semester, you will need to memorize surah al-Mulk.
- ELC080 - English for Foundation Studies 1This subject is to prepare students for MUET exam. Well, you will need to gain Band 4 in MUET for LLB later.
- ELC091 - Critical Reading and Reasoning for Foundation StudiesIn this subject, you will learn about fallacies, author's tones, stuff like that. At the same time, you will need to do presentations for this subject. Yes, this subject requires you to think differently and read more about current situations.
- LAW012 - Introduction to Law 1This subject is one of the killer subjects for semester 1. There are quite a lot of students that have to repeat for this subject. Basically, this subject is about laws. Topics for this subject are Law as Rules, Law and Morality, Law and Justice, Law and Equality, Rules of Law, Law and Freedom. Federal Constitution book is needed for this subject. To master this subject, you will need to do more exercises (using past year tests) because the questions are actually the same but in different terms/patterns(?).
- LAW016 - Introduction to Malaysian System of Government and PoliticsIn my opinion, this subject is easy but.... you have to memorize a lot of acts for this subject.... :( And I think I did very badly for this subject :((( Hopefully I'll pass T_TIn this subject, you will learn about the our history, types of governments, powers of the government, federal and state governments, NGO, fundamental rights, monarchy system, Islam in Malaysia, and special rights for bumiputra. Easy to learn but quite hard to memorize all of the acts that are linked with the topics.... and the Fed Cons book is also required for this subject.
- LAW038 - Legal Research and Library Processing SkillsFor me, I think this is the easiest law subject and quite fun actually. Like LAW012,016, you will need to exercise using past year questions because the questions are more or less the same.You'll learn about MLA, APA citations, types of libraries, types of materials, how to read Acts, how to cite cases, sources of law, and databases. Yes, a lot of reading and memorization are required... as usual... lol....
Whew. Basically, my first semester is like a roller-coaster ride. Ups and downs. Twist here and there lah. Pening. Exhausted. Tired. hahahah.
I made a lot of friends too. Well I thought I will be some kind of lone ranger kid here but instead, I got too many friends lol. and I love them.
For me, college life is fun! It depends on how well you adapt with everything that's going on and make sure you focus on studies too. Law foundation is really tiring and I hope you'll endure it well. And please pray for me as the first semester results will be out this 13th November (Friday)! Hopefully I'll pass with flying colors~~~~~
UPDATE : Got 3.52 for the first semester. Alhamdulillah. Didn't expect that whew! :) Hopefully this won't be the first and last time for me to get the Dean's list lol
