right from the bottom of my heart.Confession time.

Do you still remember that we need to do an evaluation on this course and submit it to Moodle?

At first, I thought I'll be dead as I didn't know that I need to do it. Luckily, Ms Ng prolonged the date due and Yap Jia Rong helped with the Airset,I'm back to normal.Thank you Ms Ng and JR.

I still remember my freshmen year in MPIK, that being honest could be hurtful. I am sure that my ex-foundation classmates know this tragic tale. I have nothing against the doer, really because I think that he/she just spoke his/her mind.That incident has leave a mark in my head and I'm sure that all of my ex classmates felt the same way too. As a result, when I wanted to write any comments or evaluating someone, I will take a long time, just to find the right words that might not hurt other's feeling.

Usually, I will never care of commenting as I'm not a judgemental person. However, maybe I'm getting older and more sensitive. Here's my humble point of view that I wish to share with all of you... (while filling up, i re-edited my evaluation form more than twice, I failed to recall how many times..)

What do you like most about the class? (please list as many as possible)
what i like the most about the class is that i always know that i will be doing and learning interesting new knowledge. i didn’t get any formal education on ict before so i always feel motivated to go to class to learn.

What do you like least about the class? (please list as many as possible)
i didn’t like the atmosphere. the lab was hot and with 75 of us at a time, i feel like suffocating. i tried to adjust myself to accept the condition. another thing is that sometimes, some of my mates at the back are talking with each other during the lecture which later caused me the failure to listen well. maybe it’s best for the lecturer to use a microphone.

what challenges did you face in learning the new ict skills in this class?
my challenge would be due to my learning style, which i am a slow learner. i can do many things and produce a good product or presentation but usually, it will take a lot of time. however, i managed to finish up my assignment in time though i feel like i can do much better than that.

what “preconceived” ideas and assumptions did you bring with you to the class?

1. usually i’ll check the muced website to find out what i will learn for the next class.

2. what i’m going to learn will be useful for my future teaching and learning processes.

what problems did you face in completing the assignments? how did you solve it?

first, for the blog assignment. i have to admit that to write down experience or a real life event would be one of my weaknesses. most of the time i failed to be critical as i always presumed that being optimistic is the only way. i always feel intimidated when i visited other people’s blog as when i look at mine, i always feel inadequate.to improve mine, i always edit my blog,and read it again and again.

for the forum in muced, when i wanted to write something, there will always be someone that has written down what i wanted to write. i feel it is hard to express myself. to solve this, after reading, when i agree with someone, i just reply straight to the person’s ‘reply’ instead of the ‘parent’ message.

for smartboard, since it’s something new, i have to try so many times to do it. to solve problem regarding smartboard, i ask help from my group member.

were you able to work with your team? yes/no. explain why and how.
yes. i am blessed to be in this group i must say. they are very helpful. there’s not a time when they didn’t help me to encounter my problem. while preparing the smartboard assignment, my team members were those who really help me and it makes me happy to learn as they are also motivating.

what is/are the factor(s) that make you blog? (please list as many as possible)

1. it makes me happy to share my thoughts
2. i really have to because it is apart from the assignment
3. it serves as a ground for me to learn more about internet
   

have your blogging habits changed overtime? yes/no.

i don’t really think that my blogging habit changed overtime. i only have time during the weekend to update my blog and sightseeing others’ blog because during weekdays i am preoccupied with other courses’ assignments. i didn’t do anything much on blog during weekdays.

how much does blogging helped you in understanding a particular item? explain.
maybe it helps me in understanding basic internet application that can be used.

how much does blogging helped you in understanding the course? explain.( argh the trickiest one!)
i have to be honest that i don’t really find that it is useful for me to understand the course. i found the resources and reading material given by prof r.m were very useful and sufficient.

what did you learn from blogging:- (a) technical skills (b) other skills (c) learning how to learn (d) others please explain each aspect.

i learn a lot of things from blogging. it improves my skills and understanding on html codes [i’m from science class and we have to build a website this semester]. from blog i learn and practice to make use all of the resources available on the net to build website and learn about html codes.

not only that, my blog serves as my memory too. i learn that i have progress over time and i positively think that i can do everything if i dare to try and if was given the opportunity.

what are the criteria which made you choose to read that particular course mates’ blog?
friends that really cares about me, my group members and those who leaves their comment on my blog.

did learning occur when you read your course mates’ blog? yes/no. explain.
yes. by reading other people’s blog makes me catch on things that i might have missed during the class. it also makes me realize things that i might not see or think.

would you leave comment(s) after reading the blog? yes/no. explain.
yes. if i find it’s appropriate to do so.

are there any suggestions that you could make to further enhance your blog?

i lack the creative writing skills. i am not even critical when writing. i think i need to be more creative and critical after this.

i always find that blogging is the last chore in my to-do lists. i should be putting more effort from now on.

i should also ask opinion from my usual visitors so i can improve my blog.


I humbly appologise if I've hurt anyone in attempting these questions.
