menambahbaikan kualiti WI-FI di setiap jabatan. supaya menyenangkan pelajar
dengan joging""
Sikap pensyarah yg terlalu memandang rendah terhadap pelajar,sila benarkan pelajar
mengasah bakat yg ada dan bukannya memberi komen yang mematikan bakat yang
ada.YANG PENTING JANGAN PANDANG RENDAH TERHADAP PROJECT
STUDENT!
-perlukan wifi free di setiap jabatan untuk memudahkan pelajar mencari maklumat.
May this Polytechnic keep moving forward and improving in every aspects....
kasi bagus wifi library.. supaya sanang durang pakai nanti.. banyak wifi d poli tapi
sikit2 ja yang buli gia.. aiya.. tapi overall okey la juga.. kalo kasi rating.. 8/10 la.. best
standards of universities....
berikan kemudahan makmal yang lebih lengkap dan pastikan setiap barang di makmal
dikemaskini dan direkod setiap minggu untuk mengenal pasti kualiti barangan
makmal
saya sebagai pelajar politeknik mencadangkan agar melakukan penyelenggaraan di
bengkel/makmal..terutama component ketika membuat lab work dan upgrade
kerja-kerja
MAINTENANCE.
everything is good, but i think it can be better.
Menyediakan jalan yang beratap dari kamsis hingga jabatan-jabatan bagi keselesaan
dan kemudahan pelajar apabila hendak ke kelas!.

Kalau boleh,cuba contohi politeknik lain.Walaupun tidak strict sgt,tpi mereka dapat
harap hubungan antara pensyarah dan pelajar berkaitan subjek yang diajar sentiasa
dipertingkatkan,khususnya pensyarah harap aktif di Cidos, supaya pelajar dapat
