CGPA vs iCGPA

CGPA is Cumulative Grade Point Average whereas
iCGPA can be interpreted as Integrated Cumulative Grade Point Average.

CGPA results are shown as grades per subject such as Physics, Biology, Chemistry etc that make up the programme. There are so many subjects that make up a course, more than 30 subjects for a Bachelor course.

iCGPA results are shown as grades per programme outcomes such as knowledge, problem solving, team work, ethics, communication skills, lifelong learning. There are not many of these outcomes. Under MQA, Malaysia Qualifying Agency, it requires a minimum of 8 Programme Outcomes to be shown to have been achieved.

In fact MQA requires educational institutions to achieve learning outcomes such as documented by the iCGPA objectives, instead of just by subjects as required by CGPA.

You may argue that CPGA implements only the Knowledge outcome of the iCGPA but actually many components such as the writing of Thesis also measures communication and critical thinking skills, but they are averaged in the marking scheme in order to come up with the CPGA points.

iCGPA breaks down the marking schemes into learning outcomes. These learning outcomes should support programme outcomes. You may argue also that iCGPA is just a different marking scheme.

Since there are only a few programme outcomes, the iCGPA results can be presented as a spider web concept map. No, Spider Web diagram is not invented in Malaysia for the iCGPA.

I had attended a forum and question and answer sessions on whether iCGPA is to be implemented.
There was a vote, and most do not want iCGPA to be implemented. It means that they do not want to have MQA certification.

Najib gets a taste of his own medicine

He is lucky. Many more even have their children gifts of rm10 confiscated.

This is the power given to MACC by Najib.

Najib of course has the right to claim back all those but it will take years. Many did not get any news for years. They are supposed to have engaged a lawyer to claim back the money but even then MACC can just ignore them without any consequences.

We are supposed to be protected by judges who should not approve extensions but if there judges can believe that someone who is on the verge of getting married and another on the verge of going for hajj suddenly commit suicide, you know what your chances are.

Worse, we have Federal Counsel who believe that even rm10 should be confiscated and kept in zero interest is their right, as well as all unclaimed or recovered money in their possession, to be fought all the way to the Federal Court, despite winning the argument in lower courts.

So how long can you recover your money? Never, or after you are dead. Do not believe me? I just heard a case from my colleague. His lawyer is trying to work out behind the scenes. This is common practice. I had a few court cases that had been worked out behind the scenes even without my knowledge.

Acceptance of this DAYUS practise is the main culprit. DAYUS means pathetic, and is the 2nd most severe sin in Islam but widely practised. So severe that you are guaranteed hell no matter what other good deeds you had done.

Mixing students of different abilities is bad for learning
