Malaysian FYPs

Posted by Jonathan Ng | Filed under Personal

This is another rant on the Malaysia education culture.

I just don’t know why, but to some, Final Year Projects are more like, Final Week Project. No, this isn’t coming from a student, but a senior staff at multinational firm. That person seems to think that us youngsters can stay up a few night and finish up the FYP. Gasp! That’s how important FYPs are to some people. I was appalled to hear such a thing.

Even when I look at my peers, a majority of them are doing really mundane things that are not technically challenging. For them, the FYP is pretty much a combination of a few previous assignments of different subjects. For those who attempt something totally new, I salute you.

Sigh, so is that what FYP is these days? Just another assignment with more things to do?
