Proscience workshop

The current requirements for the admission of the Diploma in Science student of Faculty of Applied Science, Universiti Teknologi MARA have been revised to open the opportunities to the students without a background in Physics, Chemistry and Biology to enroll. This leads to the difficulties for the students to comprehend these three core subjects. Therefore, ProScience Workshop was introduced to help the students in their learning process. An online survey was distributed to 37 students who participated in the workshop. However, only 25 students responded to the survey. Approximately 68% respondents were female and 32% were male. Most of the respondents came from National High School (Daily). Overall, the respondents attained a good grade which range from grade A to B with percentages of 70% in physics, 56% in chemistry, and 67% in biology. Respondents show high confidence levels after attending this workshop and perceive the workshop as effective. In conclusion, this workshop is effective to enhance students' understanding in the core subjects.
