I’ve been a part-time tutor for OUM for 4 years (since January 2003). Every year there are 3 semesters, but I’m only involved in semester 1 (January-March) and 3 (September-November). There’s a short semester (May, 3 tutorials only instead of the usual 5) but I was never asked to work there until earlier this week where they asked me whether I’m available then – I’ve asked another friend to handle it since I think I’d be preoccupied with other things in May & June.

I’ve handled tutorials for 2 semesters every year except the September 2006 semester where I took a break – had another project to do.

So this is my 8th semester doing tutorials for OUM. For the last 3 semesters, including this one, they’ve been holding the tutorials at Universiti Malaysia Sabah’s campus. They’re planning to have their own building but there needs to be certain number of students before it will be approved by their HQ. I can’t remember the exact number, but something like 8,000 students. At the current rate, OUM should have that number of students in the very near future, more than any other university offering distance learning like Unitar and UiTM.
