General issues

• After the online classes, the students ask questions through whatsApp messages or phone calls
• Last minute request for help on assignments (1 week before due date)
• 10% of the students failed to submit assignments or submit late assignments

Grade System

Note:

The grade is based on the total marks, meaning add-up the assignment and examination marks.

Assignment Mark

In case the performance of the student does not meet the passing mark / grade, (refer to assignment only, excluding examination), the Academic Facilitator (AF / lecturer) that is marking the assignment is advised to inform the student to re-do and re-submit the assignment.

The AF can contact the student through telephone call. The AF can request the contact number from Shingo office.

This is to ensure that the student received feedbacks from the AF on the weaknesses in their assignment and make necessary corrections / improvements.

Online Teaching Hours

Note: This table is only applicable for online classes. It is not applicable for physical classes.

Total Payment

1. Teaching hours (10 hours) X Hourly Rate (RM100/hour) = XYZ

​

• Assignment Marking = No of Assignments X Marking rate = PQR

​

• Total Payment = (1) + (2) = XYZ + PQR

Factors to Considers

The length of each video should be limited to around 15 - 20 minutes due to

• the students may have limited time to watch a long videos
• our students are working full time with young kids. Some even have to take care of their senior parents.
