  11. 2.0 OUR PRIORITY 2.1 Teaching and supervision • We are here because of our students. • Quantity of teaching: • Workload is generally fair (<6 hours/week). • Relatively speaking, a lot can be done for the remaining 34 hours. • Loading is even lesser for staff without mixed-mode programme. • Where does the remaining time go? 11

  12. 2.1 Teaching and supervision (cont’d) • Quality of teaching: • Does the teaching effective and attractive or have become culture? • PPT vs OHP vs internet vs OBE? • Integration of other teaching and learning approaches? • Have me moved forward? • Recycled exam question? • Have we returned the script on time? • Have we been innovative enough? • Niche programme/syallabus? 12

  13. 2.1 Teaching and supervision (cont’d) • Quality of teaching: • Have we marked where the mistakes are? • Have we given enough tutorials? • Have we prepared model answer for test, exam papers? • How much time have we given to our students for consultation? • PR with our students-all levels? 13

  14. 2.1 Teaching and supervision (cont’d) • Supervision: • Having good quality? • How long do we need to read the thesis? • Have we thoroughly checked the thesis? • Students graduated on time? • Good to have many students but have we been fair to each one of them? • Have we given enough? • Do not copy the old traditions when we were studying and apply them to our students. 14

  15. 2.1 Teaching and supervision (cont’d) • Mixed-mode: • Not very popular? • Possibility to offer full-time/part time on weekdays? • Less number of international students? • Should we continue? • If we stop, can we promise that we will improve on the other KPI’s? • Should we extend to other areas? 15

  16. 2.2 Research and publication • Research: • Good number of USM grants. • Comfortable number of national grant. • Poor performance of international grant. • Main researcher or still menempek? • Experience staff should become a role model! • Complacency culture? • Why the same person? • Why need to extend? • Why the given money does not tally with KPI: • Papers? • Graduated Ph.D./M.Sc. students? • Please muhasabah diri. What went wrong? 16

  17. 2.2 Research and publication (cont’d) • Publication: • Poor performance on impact factor journals. • Still giving so much priorities on conferences. • SKT has been so tolerable to date. • By setting the right priority, we can succeed! • Students mush publish. 17

  18. 2.3 Consultancy/testing/Courses • Consultancy/contract research: • Fair performance and can do more. • Same person. • Project leader? • All disciplines must contribute. • Testing: • Starting 2008, the number has increased. • All disciplines must contribute. • Are we competent enough? • How do we share the cakes? 18

  19. 2.3 Consultancy/testing/Courses (cont’d) • Short courses/seminar/conferences: • Why only AWAM’x? • We have been so active on short courses, why not now? • Without not doing this, the KPI still the same? • Testing: • Starting 2008, the number has increased. • All disciplines must contribute. • Are we competent enough? • How do we share the cakes? 19

  20. 2.4 Services to community and university • Services to community: • Does the local community aware of our presence? • How much they benefitted from our presence? • What can we contribute? • KPI vs contribution to community? • Services to university: • We are doing ok on this. Many have been involved • However, it is sometimes limited to the same person. 20

  21. 2.5 Priority: My wish • Do the best for our teaching and supervision. • Be innovative • Narrowing the gap between lecturer/staff-students. • Conduct quality research and produce tangible outputs: • ISI papers. • Quality Ph.D. and M.Sc. Graduates, on time. 21
