AIR Topic Marking Scheme

The email below is in response to questions regarding AIR topic marking scheme.

"Dear Jake and all,

Thank you for the email. The AIR submission is graded based on the three learning outcomes.
Among the three- ability to discuss and summarize mechanisms of actions of phytochemicals, weight a major proportion of the grades.
For many who score “C’, your work did not summarize well the mechanisms of actions of phytochemicals.
Appreciate the request for individual feedback; however unfortunately, it is not feasible as there are ~300 of you. 
In most cases, I didn’t include a comment; unless the submission did not meet all three learning outcome or with some glaring mistakes.
Hope that clarifies.

Kind regards,
Dr megan"

IMU's 20th Anniversary

Hey Peeps!  You guys still remember Miss Aznah (from Student Services Department) that came into Audi and told us about IMU's 20th Anniversary?? They are actually recruiting students for the event. As the event is going to be super huge, they need lots of students to help, especially with the fund raising and event organsing- including the IMU Charity Run (i think that's what it's called). Anyway, if you're interested to help out, just send your name, student ID, contact number and email address to my facebook email or summer4jc@gmail.com. A few of you that signed up on the other day, please re-confirm with me again coz some of the handwritings are slightly illegible.

Editorial Board IMU Advise Column

There is an advise column in the editorial boards magazine, Synapse. This column is specially for people who are facing trouble in their social life. If student faces a problem in his/her relationship or if they need some advise they can write to us anonymously.

If a student wishes to write to us for advise, he/she will need to send an email to imuedboard@gmail.com with the subject: Advise

This will be done anonymously and students can write to us using fake names.

for example:

" My name is Minnie. I have been dating Mickey since i joined in semester 1. Now I'm in semester 5. The problem is that I am doing PMS while Mickey is doing locally. I'm worried if long distance relationship will work. Should i break up with him?"

This is just an example.

Our advise columnists will reply the person with their advise and a randomly selected topic will be featured in Synapse's upcoming issue.

If students need any advise, feel free to write to us.

We give full assurance in maintaining confidentiality

Regards,

The Editorial Board

It Begins With You 2011

Hi everybody, I'm Alicia from CrusAIDSers. As a club, we are dedicated to raising awareness about HIV and AIDS as well as to reducing the stigma that stems from a lack of understanding of the disease.

In partnership with other universities and organizations dedicated to the same cause, we will be organizing an event called 'It Begins With You'.

It will be one of the biggest AIDS awareness campaign of the year so we request your help as volunteers. The volunteers will be helping to man the booth, get signatures on sandwich boards and participate in the flash mob! Each of the volunteers will receive a t-shirt as thanks for participating, and there will be fun and games and food and performances that everyone can enjoy. Tentatively we might have one practice for the flash mob but we will soon post a video of the dance up so you can learn it yourself in the comfort of your own home!

The details are as follows:

Date: Saturday, May 7th 2011

Time: Meet in front of IMU at 8:30am, estimated to end at 3pm

Venue: Times Square

Transport and lunch will be provided.

If you would like to join this cause, please email me at aicila123@hotmail.com or contact me at 010-248-1929 with your:

Name

Student ID

Phone number

Thank you! Hope to see you there :D
