FINAL EXAM TIPS MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES [BBPP 1103]

Since I am also a tutor with Open University Malaysia, I like to share my experience in the subject matter.

Management is a very wide subject. But for the exam we have to master the module before anything else. But you are given the freedom to use any reference when preparing the assignment.

Why keep to the module? Because [my own opinion] they are basic knowledge that we must know in this subject. All sub-topics are selected by panel of experts.

Later after you are employed, you may want to apply any theory...is up to you. oopppss sorry, OUM students are working already ma. so if this is the case, forget how your boss manage because your boss is always right!

Exam tips. For adult students like you, the question is always of the application type. Like what would you do to introduce change in your organization? What are the obstacles and how do you overcome them? Maknanya soalan dia mesti berkait seperti soalan di bawah ini.

Communication. What are comm barriers and how do you overcome them?

Motivation. Define / explain briefly expectancy theory, equity theory, goal-setting theory and reinforcement model.

Leadership. What is the difference between transactional leadership and transformational leadership?

Control. What are factors that need to be controlled?

Others. Please read the module and make your guess.

SECONDLY, very important too. It is very difficult for lecturers to prepare exam papers, because one of the reason is you don't want to ask things that is not in the book. That person will be in trouble. So? Read all questions that are found at the back of your module [text book], AND try to remember the answer given in that book. Don't try to answer yourself because many of them is quite tricky.

IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY with the answer, clarify that with your tutor in the class.

Don't be surprise because your assignment topic may also be asked in the exam. Those who privatise their assignment may have problems.

How to analyse previous papers. Ada 2 cara, yg mana dalam soalan Bahagian A, B dan C. .

kedua, chapter mana yg keluar setiap tahun, mana selang seli. 

jangan tekejut berok kalau soalan last semester naik lagi semester ini!

last but not least, NEVER ever ask for tips from your tutor, we dont know either.

Keselamatan Perlindungan - Dokumen

Ramai orang tidak faham maksud perkataan SULIT. Oleh kerana itu semua perkara yang di rasa sensitif akan diklasifikasikan sebagai SULIT. Saya MOHON nak buat pembetulan. SULIT bermaksud CONFIDENTIAL ....dalam bahasa Inggeris. Sebenarnya SULIT ini diguna untuk semua hal berkaitan personnel. Ia terbahagi kepada dua perkara, SULIT DARIHAL ANGGOTA dan SULIT DARIHAL PERUBATAN .  Semua fail atau dokumen perubatan adalah SULIT. Ini semua orang tahu. Apa aspek anggota yang jadi sulit? Aspek pertukaran , sokongan naik pangkat , tatatertib , siasatan, suspek, atau apa saja yang boleh mengaibkan, atau jika tersebar boleh jadi isu. CONTOHnya, Puan Nora dicalun untuk naik pangkat dan perkara ini tersebar. Tiba2 orang lain yang naik pangkat. Tetulah akan jadi isu. Jadi saya minta semua kakitangan kerajaan, elakkan guna perkataan SULIT untuk semua perkara.  Gunakan RAHSIA atau RAHSIA BESAR. kalau kurang sensitif, guna TERHAD. Apa apa rujuk kepada Arahan Keselamatan. Selesai bab mengk

OUM Tutor

Fees paid is small. It was still the same amount since 2004 [since I became tutor there]. No revision.  Read reports and OUM is making lot of profit every year. Unfortunately the cake is being shared by certain people only - permanent and contractual staff. The work horses? mmmmm But putting that aside, I still continue giving free advise to students who contacted me. Why free? Well because travelling to OUM to teach is not free. I have to fill in the tank with petrol and pay toll too. Although spending your week end at OUM is of course not money, but it is your quality time. So they say. So, if OUM asked me to teach like 'almost free', will give advise for free as well. its satisfaction that count. Its like my own CSR! Say what you like. Combination of experience, knowledge and academic qualification is very valuable.... therefore, we should only pay them 100/hr. And we limit their teaching hrs as well. Can't let them to earn more than 1200 rgt in a semester
