Mini Report
Widespread institutional recognition of, and response to, the importance of first year experience (FYE)
programmes is a late twentieth century phenomenon. Higher education institutions acknowledge the importance of engagement and retention initiatives in addressing challenges faced by commencing students in their university experience.As such, FYE programmes are organised to introduce the first year students to
university. This enables students to better adjust to the university community both academically and socially, hence avoiding disengagement and poor performance at an early stage of university life.
A Malaysian study evaluating the FYE programme implementation in Universiti Teknologi
Malaysia (UTM). It aims to examine and understand the FYE implementation towards the first year students’
attitude and behaviour in managing their roles as university students. FYE programme implementation varies across institutions; as such, each analysis is distinctive of a particular institution, student body and types of programmes implemented. A key focus underlying this study is to gather empirical evidence that would support
and enhance the quality of support for students during their key transitional period.
Self Reflection:
When We start ou univeristy life at UTM It was pandemic time. It was very hard time for every one.
People can’t go outside of home. For that we have to experience this on online in e-learning platform. First of all, Thanks to our all lecturer who helped us a lot during pandemic. They assist us how to use online platform to study. They teach us so many things like how to submit assignment and how to attend class online and how to attend online exam etc. every student want to enjoy their campus life at their university. But unfortunately, we can’t do that just because of COVID-19.
