Diploma in IT Timetable for September 2008

Just got the timetable. Click on the image to zoom in.

Subjects Registration

Many DIT students have come to me to enquire about subjects registration for the next semester. However, it seems that the timetable planning is still on-going. As such, I myself do not know the subjects that will be offered or which subjects I will be teaching in the next semester. Therefore, I've been telling you guys to come back later for the DIT registrations.

But I know that most of you have finished your exams and just want to go off for your holidays. So, I've brought this issue up to the Head of FOEIT. And, this is what we can do to get your DIT subjects registrations done ASAP:

1. Make sure you get the registration form from your DIT coordinator.
2. Fill in your particulars (name, student id, etc), but leave the subject code and subject name empty. 
3. Sign your form.
4. Get the bursary to sign your form (so that the college knows you have paid up your fees).
5. Pass the form to me or Mr. Saravanan personally.

When the DIT timetable planning is complete we will help you fill in your forms with the subject names and subject codes. You can follow up with this after your holidays.

Please keep in mind that the next semester is a short semester. The number of subjects offered will be limited. Class hours per week will be doubled to complete subjects in the alloted time. 

These DIT students did not sign their form. Please come and see me to sign your form.

Google Chrome

Do you use Internet Explorer? Or Mozilla FireFox? Or even Opera? Are you bored with all the existing Internet browsers (especially IE)? 

Enter Google Chrome.

A brand new Internet browser from the Internet behemoth, Google Chrome boasts a sleeker interface, faster and safer surfing, as well as a couple of other neat features. This new open-source browser sounds promising, but you'll need to see it for yourself.  

It's free to use! So, what have you got to lose (besides a few minutes)? Download Google Chrome (BETA) and give it a try. 

Away

I will be away on the 25th and 26th of August. If you need to see me, I'll be back in office on 27 August.
