It's seems that the BIS1 cohort is an extremely difficult lot to handle. Like clockwork, our program manager was changed every trimester without fail. Perhaps the stress generated by our constant troubles had taken a heavy toll on them as well. First, we have Christopher, then Juliana, next Carol and now, the new program manager is Charmaine.
The good news is that we don't have a fifth trimester, so we will not get to see another change with our program manager. This was communicated to us by Danny, during our last session with him on Sunday. He delivered us the news that we just have to complete the IT project in trimester 4 to complete the degree course. With that, the end is near at last. And so, we had a great time at brewerks with Danny, which is a stark difference with our last session. Our last session 1 trimester ago was essentially a complaint session from start to end.
BIS 2 and BIS3 students should thank us. Because of our feedbacks, the course was trimmed and coursework adjusted lower. Not only that, APMI Kaplan became more sensitive of our response ... though the hard way though.
Our new program manager is pretty interesting as well. We were expecting to see her on our first lesson of the trimester on Friday, but there was no sight of her. Every program manager will at least show up on the first day to meet the students, but not this one. Perhaps our notorious reputation and Dr Loo's payment demands were the reasons to avoid the area at all cost.
It's quite surprising to heard that APMI Kaplan's poor administration did not just affect their students but also extends to the lecturers too. It was shocking when it was revealed that Dr Loo had not been paid for his work. She also did not reply to calls or emails from Dr Loo. Doesn't that sound like that she is already turning tail all too soon?
I hope this will not impact our lectures for the last lecture as it will be a terrible shame to lose a great lecturer because the school did not pay up in time. With the Malah experience still fresh in our minds, I will love to keep some happy memories for the last leg of my studies.
Let's see if our virtual program manager does show up next lesson. A program manager who does not show up or respond to us is as good as vapourware. Advertised and promised but never delivered. APMI Kaplan might as well tell us that BIS1 doesn't get a program manager for timester 4 because they had quitted because of us.
