  4. FYP • If you want a better GPA then you should do well in your FYP • Your FYP grade may affect your degree classification • If a student is in the borderline between a second-class upper or a second-class lower then if the student gets an “B+” in the FYP then most likely the student will get a “Second-Class Upper honours” because of the FYP grade

  5. Importance of FYP • In a job interview, most of the time questions related to your FYP will be raised • FYP can also be not very important?! • If you have a AGPA of 3.3 • You do not bother!!!! • But if you have a GPA of 3.68 then it may be critical! (as 3.7x is the First class honour)

  6. Why you need to do FYP? • FYP provide you the trainings in • To work indepedently!!!! • To “solve problem by yourself” • To time manage • To self-learn • To apply knowledge learnt in practice • To present your results (verbal and writing) • So projects in different areas can achieve the above tasks
