Presentations on 9 April 2009

9 April 2009 was a special day because it was our presentation's day. Khor and me were the first group to present our project. It was a big challenge for me and Khor to prepare this project because due to the time constraints, we have to distribute our according to our expertise. But frankly speaking, I really learned a lot of thing from Bee Hua ( Khor) based on her experience in nursing. Even we are from a different expertise, I noticed that we can work together and cooperate to come out a product. This is not easy because the process we experience and run through quite tough. Thank God for His grace to grant me and Khor to finish it by the end of the day.

In fact, I got a chance to observe other group presentation ( Chun, Hana, and a foreigner who I can't remember his name all the time). They were really given their best to present even a lot of queries and questions from others. But one thing I noticed was the observer sometimes not really understand the concept of the presenter idea, so it was a lot of Q and A time during the presentation and they dared to ask and find out the answer. It was a question mark which was come to my mind that do my teaching at school not really understand by student and they were not dared to ask during the teaching and learning session. Then come to the evaluation time, they can't managed to do well. Why I got such thinking?? because last week class test which I set for my student and I noticed that they can't answer and scored in certain area which I expect which they can do it. It was quite sad because all the important part I highlighted to them in the begining, but they still can't managed to do well. Even many times I asked them whether any section they are not understand or not clear, but still no respond from them. So, I need to involved them in active learning and make them dared to ask question which they don't understand and clear. Hopefully, the problem can be settle and solved.

9 April 2009 also a bad day for me because I got back my Wiki reflection and I got a B-. I felt sad and disappointed not because of the mark only but I noticed that my thinking not really in depth and what I understand just the surface only. So, I make a decision to reflect it again and think more deeply for every kind of situation. Dr. Tee is a good teacher and every kind of suggestion which he gave me make me feel like...wow, I really need to improve myself no matter how because I need tooo....Sometimes I really need someone tell me straight forward what I really need to improve....in my uni life, I learn how to think more through Prof. Raja and Dr. Tee class because they make me think and think....I know it was late to reliazed my weakness point and the improvement point, but will learn more in future, learn from my mistake and not to repeat the mistake again. One more thing, learn how to stand at my student point of view and tried to understand them and know their needs. This is a lesson which I need to do in future. Thanks Dr.Tee and Prof. Raja for all the patient and encouragement. May God bless you.
