The Three Musketeers Who Created The TakeoffApps

I was sitting in my room Managing the Newcomers 31- GUC Facebook group when I saw a post that grasped my full attention , you see I was trying for the past two weeks to establish something like a student book with the aid of insider and some GUC friends so that whenever a newcomer enter the GUC he would just surf the book and all the information is there , but then I saw this post on the group " The GUC Student Hand Book by Takeoffapps ". Someone has actually made it , someone put an effort and created finally a student handbook for the university and it even gets better ; the moment you open the link you see the effort of the three brilliant talented founders of Takeoffapps , they included almost every aspect about the GUC from terminology to GUC goes Berlin which was established only 1 year ago and has been since a great attraction to the newcomers before the enrolled the students.

For almost two months I have been trying with the aid of every student in the GUC to answer the newcomers questions concerning the majors, subjects , books , studying materials , Professors , Teaching assistants , Lectures , Tutorials , and many many other questions and these talented young engineers just put it all in one place in an astonishing organized style with all the beautiful graphics for the show, a website worth of visiting http://guc.takeoffapps.com/ .

Recently they designed a new website according to their word "for making use of old academic and non academic books" in-which you register with your GUC email and mobile number and post the book you would like to sell and the price and others would see the list and someone would want to buy the book and contacts you to tie the deal. Extremely brilliant if you ask me , simple idea yet useful so check the website http://www.ketab.gy/ .

So I think it is time that we give these three talented young men some recognition and get to know them better and give them a chance to tell their story of success and how did they manage to pull this off .



Wait for the interview with the entire team setting an example to every Gucians that if you have a dream all you got to do is push yourself to the extreme .

GUC Faculty of Engineering Alumni

Have you ever wondered as a GUC engineering student where did all the graduated classes of engineering do after graduation ??!! did they work abroad or here in Egypt? did they pursue an academic career? was it at the GUC or at another university ? , or did they work at a multinational company ?? what are the chances out there for a GUC engineering graduate? what are the courses we should take to enhance our capabilities??!!!! All these questions start in your head the moment you step into the university and apply for the Engineering Faculty. let's not be kidding ourselves , many people just don't care about anything but the fact that they can actually find a job after they graduate . This year I created a group called GUC newcomers winter 2013 for the GUC newcomers to gather and ask all the questions they need to know about the university and you know what was the most repeated question I heard or received via messages or on the group wall?! ; what are my working chances aft...

The Voice of the GUC students

Long ago since the university have been established  students have suffered from problems academically and socially including the organization of events and arranging it with university administrations and students seek along road to solve these problems and somehow be able to reach their objectives plus academic problems related to courses  The most important aspect is the academic problems lying in unorganized course In a way in which their is no linkage between the lecture and the tutorial that the professor is explaining something  and that the TA. Is explaining something else . Also the problem of having unskilled TAs in a course in which students suffer from attending with him/her so he or she end up attending with the best TA in the course and suffer from the attendance issue is that he or she has to attend in their own tutorial or they will get no attendance which present the fact the there is no fairness fos someudents which raises the question about the criteria...
