SUBANG JAYA: Taylor’s Business School (TBS) has led the way for other schools to follow suit as their implementation of buddies system has been utilised well.
“Each senior will be assigned to three to four juniors according to the selection from juniors through a Facebook page. Juniors will have to register online for this privilege,” International Business and Marketing major Mel Edzwan Mashor, 22, said.
Such system is proving to be a hit among the TBS students as it is beneficial and rewarding for all parties. Some students are using the system to meet new people.
“It is a chance to meet new people, especially for freshmen in this course as certain freshmen tend to be loners because they are new on campus and they do not know everyone,” Mel added.
Students from other academic schools are even starting to take notice of such a system.
“It will help in terms of guidance on assignments, as our lecturers always refer to previous assignments by our seniors. So might as well we have such a system so we can approach them for advice ourselves,” Tan Wee Kar, Hotel Management major said.
While some are reveling in such a system, there are minorities that feel that the buddies system needs more time to fully kick into gear.
“In my opinion, it might not work for everyone because the truth is, not every junior is friendly enough for the seniors to approach,” International Business and Marketing major Irene Hii Sze Jing, 21, said.
