A little note as a student: Adab with your teachers

*ADAB MURID — PENUNTUT*

*Adab Sebelum Masuk Majlis Ilmu*

1. Sucikan hati — ikhlas menuntut kerana Allah. Jauhi segala macam niat yang menyimpang seperti ingin kepujian, ingin berdebat dll.

2. Kosongkan hati seolah2 tidak tahu apa2 dan mohon Allah Ta’ala masukkan ilmu yang manfaat ke dalam hati.

3. Berwudhu. (Bagi wanita yang uzur memadai bersihkan diri seberapa mungkin.)

*Adab Semasa didalam Majlis Ilmu*

1. Hadapkan wajah (diri) kepada Allah mohon Rahmat, Keredhaan dan Kasih Dia didalam tuntut ilmu

2. Mendengar dengan teliti segala pengajaran Guru

3. Jika ilmu itu baru bagi kamu, jangan cepat bantah (walaupun dalam hati) kerana sesungguhnya terlalu banyak ilmu yag telah dicicirkan oleh ummat akhir zaman

4. Jauhi segala macam jahat sangka pada Guru

5. Jangan berbual / bercakap dengan seseorang kecuali benar-benar perlu

6. Jangan gunakan telefon bimbit

7. Jika ada kemusykilan tanya dengan sopan dan baik

*Adab selepas Majlis Ilmu*

1. Mohon Allah Ta’ala berikan kekuatan untuk mengamalkan ilmu yang dipelajari

2. Mohon Allah Ta’ala tambahkan cahaya Iman di dalam hati

3. Mohon Allah Ta’ala sentiasa Kurniakan kelapangan hati untuk tetap hadiri Majlis Ilmu

Perhatian:
1. Sesungguhnya adab penuntut ilmu amatlah banyak seperti yang dihuraikan oleh Sulton Auliya Shaikh Abdul Qodir JIlani, Imam Syazili, Imam Ghazali dan lainnya. Adab-adab yang tersebut di atas hanya lah sebahagian daripada adab-adab tersebut. Walau bagaimana pun dengan amalkan segala adab di atas mudah-mudahan akan tertunai segala adab-adab lain.

2. Menjaga adab kepada Guru dan adab-adab dalam keseluruhan Majlis Ilmu menjadikan ilmu yang di perolehi penuh keberkatan. Sedangkan tiada adab hilangkan keberkatan.

3. Pastikan kita hadir hanya Majlis Ilmu Ahlus Sunnah yang benar (tulen) yang disampaikan oleh Guru yang benar-benar terpercaya sebagai Ahlus Sunnah. Dan sebagaimana kami di fahamkan oleh Ulama terpercaya, yang terbaik adalah mengambil ilmu dari Mursyid yang siddiq, iaitu Pewaris Nabi sebenar yang sampai ilmu nya kepada Junjungan Besar Nabi Muhammad ﷺ.

Jika ada keraguan, istikharah dan mohon petunjuk Allah.

Moga memperoleh kejayaan dunia akhirat.
Maassalamah

Quizziz or Kahoot!? Which is which?

One of my colleagues asked me the difference between Quizziz and Kahoot!.  Being a novice in using both websites, I just give her my honest opinions.  But again, both has its own unique features that work for different purposes.  So, its usefulness is based on our needs actually.  It is a tool.  Like pen and pencil.  Both are meant for writing (same purpose) but if you want something that difficult to be erased, pen might be a better option as compared to pencil.  For pencil, all you need is a bit of your saliva to erase what you want to erase (get the picture? 😀 )

Quizziz has an extensive test bank from various teachers and educators around the world.  When I started using it in late 2016,  there was word limitation (meaning, you cannot give lengthy question/answer), but things have changed.  But for Kahoot!, there is still word limitation.  Meaning, if you want to give a case or scenario question, Quizziz offers better choice.  But to get immediate response or if you want to give short questions, Kahoot! is a better option.  

I showed her my Quizziz and Kahoot! to give her a better “visualisation”.  Well, I hope she gets the idea.  I encourage her to join Quizziz so that we can share our materials.  Of course, I show her as well some of my exclusive stuff which I use for my class that I don’t make it public.  Why?  Sometimes it is based on specific journal articles or materials that we use for class discussion.  So, whatever that I make public in my Quizziz is generic, not specific topics.  Like grammar, for example.  

I also showed her how to link it to her E-Content. 

 

E-Content UTM

When I attended the TES workshop, Nihra told us that we need to diversify our E-Content.  For Gamification, we need to link online assessment that we can share publicly.  I had created several online assessment when I did my Latihan Ikhtisas but it is not related to university courses though.  Here are some of them

Form 4 (Literature) 

Leaving

Living Photograph

The Charge of the Light Brigade

Form 1 (Literature)

Sad I Ams

 

Seating arrangement

 

As far as I could remember, there were only a handful of classes which I attended which were conducted at lecture hall like this.  I remember I had Clinical Psychology class, Interpersonal Psychology class, Intercultural Communication class and Abnormal Psychology class at lecturer hall similar like this.  Why I could remember it quite well?   I had my own personal preference of seating arrangement but listed in this picture.  

What I remember most is I brought LOTR by Tolkien to Amber Haque’s Abnormal Psychology class.  😀  Well, he likes to tell story and whatsnot.  It it not to say that his class is boring, but rather I know how to study for his course even though I didn’t take any notes.  😀  Well, this was before this “Future Ready Educators” wave coming to the academics shore.  Now, it is different.  Indeed.  

 

What I missed yesterday

I had a workshop yesterday.  If there was no workshop, I would attend this K-Sharing programme by my IIUM alma mater senior, Dr Zulfikar Ahmad.  I have known him since 2000 when he was “somebody” in our PsychFor (Psychology Forum –  Psychology Forum is a club for Psychology major).  

You go, Bro!  

I killed someone in …..

The first time I went to Edinburgh was in autumn 2008 with some friends by bus (aka Rombongan Cik Kiah).  The trip was organised by the International Student Association of Durham University.  With just GBP10, off we went to Ediburgh.  It took us around 4 hours to arrive.  We departed from Durham Students’ Union (something like SUB in UTM) at 6am and arrived in Edinburgh at 10ish.  We went back to Durham from Edinburgh at 6pm.  So, technically we were in Edinburgh for around 8 hours.  There is a mosque and Islamic Centre not far from the castle (well, technically we had to walk around 45-60 minutes from the train station).  

How time flies!  It has been more than 11 years since I killed this medieval female warrior at the Edinburgh castle i.e. its yard (err, not the actual killing though!  If not, I won’t be in Malaysia to tell this story 😀 )

If I am not mistaken, we had to pay GBP10 for admission fee to get into Edinburgh castle (it’s worth it).   It was in autumn.  It was cold as it can be.  The castle is on top of a hill (for safety reason). 

MUET oh MUET: Academic Camping 2019

Ita called me few days ago asking my availability to conduct a session for the form 6 students.  MUET.  Yup.  Like last year, I conducted the session twice because they had the camp twice a year.  So, I still continue my “service” even after my Latihan Ikhtisas.  Well, I enjoy doing it.  Some said that I should register the program with CCIN and whatsnot.  What a headache just to think about it though!  

Well, I need to prepare some materials for the camp.  Well, I can easily recycle last year’s materials but I feel that I need to edit some of the things.  Ita requested that I do reading activity with them because she has not done it yet.  Reading!  It is quite tedious to prepare the materials for reading.  Why?  I need to find examples of reading comprehension that I can use for the activity.  I need to craft questions and whatsnot.  The ones that I have from last year are just enough for one 2 hours session.  Ita requested that I do something a little bit more extensive.  Well, I am cracking my head now to add more elements to make it “extensive”.  I find this article from The Guardian.  I need to edit some of the texts to shorten it a bit.  😀
