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 Engineering 2012-2013 Newcomers Advice's

1) The first year is the most important year , you will be studying few number of courses each semester and each course will have large number of credit hours like mathematics which weighs 8 credit hours , so You need to score a high grade in the first year and believe me when I say that the first year is the easiest so if you got a A or A+ in your first year rest assured that this will help you during your next 4 years plus if you adjusted yourself to a studying style that guarantees to you a good grade you will stick to this style for the next years in college as you will be adapted to it. 2) If you are the kind of person who studies only 2 weeks before exams , this will NOT work at the GUC and will cause you sometimes to fail some courses if you are not usually a studying person type so in order to avoid this , Please study week by week and finish what you have first , sometimes you will have deadlines that will make you postpone studying for some time and this is normal at t...

What Should we do when we have an internal battle between what's right and what should be done?

We have all passed through this stage , where you have your morals , principles tested about doing what is right and doing what should be done. It is strange really because we usually take the easy way out and do what should be done , in some situation we look at the greater good and in others we try to value which will get us in less trouble. But we miss the most important point, Principles are made to be as reference point for us like a beacon so as not to walk in the wrong direction . At the same time we cannot ignore the fact that we as human beings are emotional , we may try to bend our principles over for some emotional fact that we need to feed or for the need of the feeling that we are not just machines who abide by certain rules. I believe that sometimes most of us bend or break their principle at least once or twice during their life time for the above two reasons. It is not a shame in-fact that's what makes us humans, but the most important questions is How far are yo...
