When I received an email telling us that we can ask anything to our VC, my mind automatically thinks about my own student.  This is an opportunity that I will not miss.  So, this is what I asked our VC

How does UTM ensure its staff to be well-aware about non-visible disabilities among students that need their assistance?

Example: Students who have learning difficulties like dyslexia, dysgraphia, Asperger’s syndrome and such who we assume to be well-adjusted in learning and yet they might face difficulties that unknown to us. They might have difficulty to take long hours examination in an exam hall with other students. Due to sensory sensitivity, such students might have difficulty to stay focused for long duration and feel agitated when they are in crowd.

– How to encourage such students to let us know about their challenges?

– How to ensure that we are equipped with appropriate knowledge to help them including administration staff such as in SRAD and such who are also might have to deal with such students on regular basis like the academicians who teach/supervise them?

He taught me Introduction to Political Science at IIUMC circa 1996-97.  He was doing his PhD at UM at that time when he taught us Introduction to Political Science.  Without OHP slides, no powerpoint notes, Prezi (you name it) he delivered his lecture in one of the main lecture halls at IIUMC Lembah Pantai effortlessly.  I still remember vividly the day that my friends and I were late (we had back-to-back classes from 8 to 10am and 10am to 12pm.  His class was the second class.  Yup.  The 10am to 12pm class). 

We rushed to his class from the first one which took us around 5 minutes to arrive (the location between the first class and his class was far) and we arrived at his class when he had started the class for 10 minutes.  He asked why all of us were late.  One of us explained but after listening to the explanation, he decided not to allow us to join the class. 

All of us had started to feel agitated and nervous because we didn’t want to miss his class on our first day of semester.  Then out of no where, I had the courage to rebut him by saying “Sir, it is not fair to get mad at us because we came late to your class not because of our fault.  Dr X let us go 5 minutes late.  All of us rushed to come to your class.  Some of us even ran to come here”   Then, he looked at me and smiled while asking “What is your name, sister?”  I told him my name and later on, he allowed us to have a seat.  

But that moment marked the day when I was tormented for one whole semester.   Every single thing that I did would be under his scrutiny.   But I enjoy his attention and teaching. 

30 years passed by quickly.  From a student, he became part of the faculty member of IIUM for more than 20 years.  All the best, Sir!
