Dear all,

Gotcha~! Ecchi people...

Anyway, i am thinking of a T-Shirt for the Keele business students... Are you guys interested? You have 2 weeks to submit your draft to me. Any design will do, it will be on a COLLAR T-shirt. Things you need to have in mind:-

1) Color (and the rationale behind it)
2) The word "Keele", "KDU" and "Business programme" needs to be there
3) Preferably you use under 5 colors
4) No black t-shirt (yet, unless the design is really good)

Winner gets a free t-shirt and cash prize.

I will sponsor some of the printing fees and the rest you guys will have to pay. Hopefully its RM20 and below.

Regards,
Calvin

Dear all,

I have setup the Turn-It-In. You will need to register yourself into the class using the following class ID and password:

Class ID: 2659439
Password: kdukeele

You will then find different subjects in there. By the request of your lecturer, subjects will be setup for you to check your assignment and for submission.

Calvin

Dear all,

To access your MyAthens account, just follow the steps below:

1) Click on Keele Webmail at the left panel on this blog.

2) To access it, your username and password is those that have given to you. It would be something like v0e87.

3) Once you access your webmail, go to the last page. Should be 10 or 11. You can find an email from Neil Carter. That email contain your login ID and password for your Athens access.

4) Once you have the username and password, you can just use the link MyAthen from the blog to access Athens.

I suggest you print out a copy of the email so that you wont lose the username and password.

Timetable Final Draft Feb09 Semester

Remember, its effective this week.


Regards,
Calvin

Dear all,

A few updates for this week and the timetable draft 4 effective this week (10.3.09).

Timetable Draft 4

1) Keele University have set 18 March 2009 for the Exam Board Meeting over at UK. Therefore, we are expecting the results to be back the following week.

2) We have ordered most of the books for this semester (as requested by your lecturer) to be shipped over. We hope to get them ASAP. Though it is very difficult to speculate when exactly. Of course you are NOT required to buy a copy each. We will make it available in the library.

3) Keele WebCT password. Alright, ive been spammed with this question. Honestly, i dont know. If you need to access their library or MyAthens, i got something temporary for you to use. If you need to access for your lecture notes (i think some of your lecturers have requested it to be uploaded here) or tutorial assignment, i really have no idea what to do. I guess i need to micro manage and help you from class to class basis. Do come see me regarding this matter.

4) There will be update for the Y1S2 Timetable as there is yet any class for Ms Consilz's tutorial classes.

That should be all for now, remember to come collect your offer letter.

Regards,
Calvin

Dear Y2S1 (Fin) and Y1s1 students,

There is a password encrypted for the files. You will have to get the password from Mr Ler or Calvin.

Dear all,

A few announcement first then a few FAQ to be answered, i guess you all must be feeling pretty frustrated, just to clear some air between us:

1) Please come and collect your Offer Letter from me. For those of you that owe A&B your photo, your transcripts and etc. please submit it to them. If your student file is not complete, you are in big trouble when you 'try' to graduate.

2) If your name is NOT on the attendance list and you have paid, please come and see me. Reason being, the KDU server was facing a severe problem. Some data was captured and the rest wasn't. So whatever A&B did for the past two weeks, a good chunk of it was not captured.

3) If your name is not on the attendance list, that also mean you cant access KCN. Once the above is solved, then you have free roam on KCN.

4) WebCT access: Im sorry for the delay on this. Firstly, i guess we could not start class on the same week as you come back. It is impossible to get it ready for class. Secondly, i am still having new students coming in THIS week though the cut off date was Week 2. Thirdly, a majority of you guys are still changing major in Week 2 and i cant send till you guys CANT change in Week 3. Fourthly, because of the system not capturing your subjects, i cant check against the system. Lastly, there are some inconsiderate people that takes forever to give me their Keele Application Form. So please bare with me while we try to get this done ASAP.

5) For those currently in Y1S2, your results should be out mid March i hope. Its beyond my control once it has been sent out.

6) There will be a new timetable, i cant post it yet, as Timetable Committee has yet to confirmed it. For the Y1 students, i know its a bit tired for you guys. Its Y1, you have 6 subjects, its gonna be very tiring for you all. I promise it will get better when you go into Y2 (Timetable wise, not workload).

I guess thats all for now, sorry for all the trouble. We can always go out have a cup of tea and vent about your frustration.

Sincerely,
Calvin

Dear Y1S2,

Ms Stella's Friday's class has been moved to Thursday 3-5pm effective Thursday, 5.3.09.

Calvin

Dear Y2S1 (HRM) students,

I presume you guys came for 8am class? Sorry i was under the impression that since we were done with Lecture on Monday, we can skip 8am class and go for tutorial at 9am. Anyway, i didnt inform you verbally. So, since everyone missed class today. Can i request for extra class next week 1-2pm, Wednesday? (to replace Monday, 9.3.09 and also Wednesday 4.3.09 class). You are cordially invited to have lunch together from 12-1pm before class, my treat. Attendance will be taken, for Monday and Wednesday class. So, during lunch it will be an informal tutorial/discussion session while we enjoy food (we are truly Malaysians afterall) and we will adjourn to the class from 1-2pm for some of that week's tutorial.

Let me know if its possible.

Regards,
Calvin
