First, the Academic advisor need to understand the existence of system of semester.

What are the characteristic of semester system?

  • Flexible (students can plan, decide their vision of attaining degree)
  • Assessment
  • CGPA

Hence, students need an academic advisor to advise them (everything including guide them for any available award and opportunities)

The right method.

  1. always reaching out to students
  2. meet and greet the students ( know everything family, background, educational level)
  3. Oversea students development and achievement
  4. Explain the semester sytem, academics rules and regulations, academic in UTM and ways to success in UTM
  5. Selection of courses/subject
  6. (beban kredit, kesan tarik diri dalam mata pelajaran, penangguhan semester, bantuan, program tambah nilai)

  2. giving up too soon
  3. not look at the student
  4. do not empathize
  5. making hasty judgement
  6. evaluate not based on evidence
