soh si ming Review of MDIS
Honestly speaking, MDIS is not what you would norm...
Honestly speaking, MDIS is not what you would normally expect in a University. Unlike local Uni (NTU, NUS, SMU etc), MDIS is seriously disorganised as a whole. And here are some of the reasons why:
1. Student Management services takes way too long to get back to their students. Be it request or enquiry. And also, they would do nothing to heed the plea of their students.
2. Lecturers / Professors are incompetent and fickle. One moment the lecturer / professor may request of you to submit 2 weeks later, and the next moment they tell you that deadline is next week. Change on assignment deadline on short notice. At times, lecturers may show up at work 30min to an hour late without valid reasoning and still do not have their materials that they need for educating you. Often more than not, they are just reading out from their textbooks. In that case, why do you even need him/her?
3. Poor facilities. Even though the campus may look impressive on the outside, it really is just rotten on the inside. MDIS is poorly equipped in their labs, students have to share a sample, which could result in cross contamination, but the staff would not care either way. Upon feedback, the staff informed the student that they may have to pay more school fees for better facilities. In the first place, the environment provided is not sufficient to be called a university, if you needed the money, charge them. If not dont try to stay borderline "safe", by providing inadequate materials.
4. The certification that you get out of MDIS is definitely not as recognised as any other university here in Singapore. Moreover, there are other better options such as SIT or SUSS, if not just go overseas to study on a loan. It would be a hell lot better than staying in Singapore and getting a bad certification.
If the above reasons to you does not seem like much of a problem, then go ahead. Enjoy your stay at MDIS :)
