Mastering Business Mathematics course / Puteri Faida Alya Zainuddin, Siti Hidayah Muhad Saleh and Nur Izzah Jamil

“Bengkel Bimbingan Matematik 2024”, a specialised workshop for the Business Mathematics course, was held at UiTM Negeri Sembilan Branch, Rembau Campus, on January 10, 2025, targeting repeater students and those facing difficulties in mathematics. The aim of this workshop is to provide additional guidance outside regular lecture hours, enabling students to be better prepared for the exam. Sixty-one students participated in the workshop, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Business Mathematics (MAT112) is a course offered in the first semester for UiTM undergraduate students in selected programs who need a basic understanding of mathematics concepts and their practical applications in business. During the October 2024 – February 2025 semester, a relatively high number of students are enrolled in the first semester at the Rembau Campus. In the first semester of their studies, students are still adapting to university life. Besides, some students were repeating the course for the third time, making it their final opportunity to avoid expulsion from the university. Due to this, the College of Computing, Informatics & Mathematics (KPPIM), Rembau Campus, organised a workshop on January 10, 2025, from 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm and was funded under Tabung Amanah Pembangunan Akademik Pelajar (TAPA) by Hal Ehwal Akademik (HEA) UiTM Rembau Campus. All repeaters and students who scored low in the first assessment conducted in Week 5 were selected to attend the workshop. Despite this, only 61 of the 65 students attended the workshop.
