Personally, I don't see it as a good thing. Because : -
1. Different student have different goal and ability.
2. I did take 7-8 in long sem before. It's not easy.
3. The old system is rather a bit flexible whereby students can play around with the structure.
4. I do not agree with the idea because it will cause more MMU students to commit suicide. They come to MMU because MMU promised a good work for them in 3 weeks of graduation time. If academic transcript is ugly, so say goodbye to your future.
5. To maintain CGPA 2.0 in MMU is hard. Funny is it? But that is the truth. To get a dean list, every sem need to maintain 3.75, and who does get the honor, either he/she is very clever or gifted. Because no matter whether it is university subjects, or core or foundation or elective, they all are killer paper.
6. Want a change? Upgrade the facilities, lower the fees, and then, sell MMU to the Malacca's Government to become an IPTA. Don't ever claim MMU as a top 10 in private university ranking, a tier 5 university in Malaysia.
7. I rather pay 40k a sem if MMU is like Lim Kok Wing University. Even 6k is earned from every students every sem, the environment is still poor, the facilities and the classroom of course. We even learn using marker and whiteboard in so called MULTIMEDIA UNIVERSITY.
