Updates

I know everyone is preparing hardcore for exams, however here are
just a few announcements so you know what's going on at IMU. (:

DO TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING ANNOUNCEMENTS WHICH
I PUT STARS *** ON.

P.S. For those that were not around for the announcement I made last Friday.
I took all the slides relevant to us in SEM 2 and put it all in one folder named
"SEM 2 OSPE". Anytime you guys are free, you can go to the first computer
from the big printer in the library to copy it. I regret to inform though that this
collection does not have the parasitology slides, so for those who have it and happen
to visit the library - do take the initiative to add it to the collection so that others
may benefit as well. After all, "Sharing is Caring". Also, I noticed while I was taking
the pics of all the slides, there are several that I don't remember seeing - so yes please
don't study aimlessly, study selectively based on what you remember having had
gone through all your lab and MMS sessions. Nothing more for me to say except...


ROCK ON! (:

ANNOUNCEMENTS
-----------------------------------------------------------------
1. Acoustic Night

Hey there guys.

I'm Ben from the Music and Performance Club and I'm in charge of publicizing our upcoming event "Acoustic Night" which will be held on the 27th of October in the dance studio from 7.00pm onwards. Having said that I would like to request for the help of the batchreps to make announcements regarding this event anytime within the coming week (19th Oct) and more importantly on the day before the event (26th) itself.

The event is free-of-charge and is not limited to the M&P club members and so is open to all faculties in IMU. Activities include open-mike sessions for acoustic jammings and also live, unplugged performances from a few well-known performers in IMU. Do mention as well that some light refreshments will be provided.

I've included with this email a large-sized e-poster/wallpaper and a slightly downsized e-flier for your perusal should you decide to put it up on your batchblogs (which we strongly encourage/urge/beseech/beg you to). It also makes a good desktop wallpaper for your computers. haha.

Well at any rate thanks a (million) bunch for your help and do drop me an email if there's anything else that I've not clarified thru this email thread. More importantly, join us for the event!

Ben

ACOUSTIC NIGHT Publicity boy

p.s. if your batch happens to be on a study/semester break and will continue to do so until after the 27th, just put this announcement on the batchblog, pretend this email was never sent to you and come anyway for the event :D

2. Foundation 2 Online Evaluation ***

I know, most of you probably skipped the CtMe session for this evaluation last Friday.
But this is one of the ways, we let IMU know if we are unsatisfied about how things are
currently being run. It will only take 5 minutes and you will be doing your part to
making IMU an even nicer place to study at. Everyone's participation counts! Please
take the time to take the survey....happy studying! (:

4. MMS Student Behavioural Conduct ***

Dear all,

Please take note of this matter and please take it seriously. This is for everyone's knowledge, even if you don't use the medical museum. Please spread the word to your batchmates at lectures and put it up on your respective batch blogs :


--------------------------------

IMU has been purchasing expensive models for many years in significant numbers so that the students can have a good learning experience. The students should also reciprocate by helping in up-keep of these models.

Recently it has been found that the students are taking away model parts or are not keeping the models properly after the study. I found some students telling that re-assembing the parts of a model, after they have finished the study, is the job of museum staff. I am sorry to say that it does not reflect a professional behaviour. If a student has dismantled a model to study, it is his or her obligation to re-assemble the parts. In case he or she is not able to do that , help of museum staff should be taken.

As Medical Science students are mostly using the models intensively for study, the SRC representatives of Medical Sciences are requested to look into the matter and appeal to the students for more organized and professional behaviour in Medical Museum.

In case, the problem is continued, as museum coordinator I would have no other option but to keep few models in cupboards under lock & key and allow the students to use few models only for study.

Best wishes

With sincere hope for Co-operation

6. Gen Chem Poster Presentation

Hi all,

The poster panels are up at LT3 Corridor area, and will remain there until 30 October 2009. As such, we hope that students do not remove them while participating in the extra-curricular activities.

We appreciate if you could convey this message to the students as there was an incident this week whereby the panels were not on its original position i.e. on the floor etc.

Thanks and regardds,
Delilah

IMU will be having a talk on Sex Education on Monday, 26th October at 2.15pm in LT3. I've attached the poster, which is self explanatory.
