Di UNM, Tiap Fakultas Bakal Punya Gedung 12 Lantai

Universitas Negeri Makassar (UNM) bakal membangun sejumlah bangunan baru untuk semua fakultas. Satu fakultas memiliki gedung 12 lantai.

Pada tahap pertama, UNM akan membangun gedung untuk Fakultas Matematika dan Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam (MIPA) di kampus UNM, Parangtambung, Makassar.

"Tahun ini sebenarnya kita membangun tiga gedung bertingkat yakni Menara Phinisi, gedung baru pascasarjana, dan gedung Fakultas MIPA, masing-masing 12 lantai,," ujar Rektor UNM Prof Dr Arismunandar MPd, di kampus UNM Gunungsari, Makassar, Jl Raya Pendidikan, Makassar, Jumat (26/08/2011).

Rencana pembangunan gedung fakultas hingga 12 lantai ini muncul dengan bertambah banyaknya peminat yang ingin kuliah di UNM yang mengakibatkan ruang kuliah terbatas. 

"Tahun ini sudah mulai. Rencananya untuk semua gedung fakultas. Lahan di kampus terbatas sehingga mau tidak mau kita harus bangun ke atas karena kita harus memenuhhi keterbatasan ruangan itu. Apalagi tahun ini kita punya tiga program studi baru sehingga mahasiswanya juga bertambah," tambah Arismunandar.

Setelah pembangunan gedung Fakultas MIPA maka akan menyusul lagi pembangunan gedung untuk fakultas lain.

How to Achieve Your Goals for the New School Year

Every person wants to achieve the goals set at the beginning of a new school year. Yet, as time progresses it can be all too easy to fall back into bad or slack habits, such as procrastination, cramming and poor researching, sending the original goals to achieve well right out the window.
However, how would you do if you know which steps to take to achieve success in your school career? Amazingly most likely, because planning your goals and dedicating yourself to achieving them will bring about results that you truly want.

Steps

1. Choose specific, realistic goals or even one single but very important goal. When it comes to choosing your goal, ensure that it states precisely what it is that you want to achieve. Don't generalize and say something as broad as 'I want to do well in my exams.' Instead, hone it down. For example, try saying 'I want to study hard through taking notes every lesson and reading through them each night after classes, and doing this will result in me getting higher grades in my exams.' The exactitude of your goal involves both what you want to achieve and identifies the effort that you will put in to achieve it. Simply setting a goal without acknowledging the effort required won't be successful, whereas understanding what needs to be done to get to your goal will be.
2. Write down your goal. Having a hard copy of your goal makes it real. Once it becomes a physical entity and not just a thought going through your head, it has form, substance and reality for you. Ways to express your goal might be:
   
   • Write it in a journal you'll be keeping all year ahead.
     
   • Write it on a poster and stick this above your desk or somewhere else that you look at each day.
     
   • Or, you can say your goal out loud each morning to remind yourself of what you want and what you're working for. This can be helped by writing it on a sticky note and attaching it to a mirror or some other spot you look at daily. Every time you remind yourself of your goal, you're training your brain to accept the effort needed to make the goal happen.
3. Research the topic. The best approach when setting up a goal is to research the topic in which it is in

Another side of high school

Being a collegian in a state university is not guarantee that we will get a good teaching and learning process.
The state university (not all) has a good teaching learning just in specific field. If we make an observation, the result will be amazing because just very few student get the best result in their examination..while other still below average score.
Indonesian especially in makassar still has this problem, the state university just high in quantity but low in quality. Despite there are some student achievment that make us proud.,but it's still far from our hopeness. Still wait for the true changing of our government.
