SIX (6) TEACHING AWARDS

Year-end awards. I received the Award of Excellence in Teaching and Learning for six courses taught in 2021. In total, there are seven courses. However, only six courses were selected for the award. Another course was not successful, but we will try to improve it next year.

I’d like to express my appreciation to all of my students who have helped me throughout the year. This award would not have been possible for me without the help of my awesome students.

Thank you Universiti Teknologi Malaysia for bestowing this honor. This appreciation effort can sometimes motivate staff to give their all to students. When you think about it, these six awards are nothing more than six sheets of A4 paper. However, the award appreciation makes the year’s work worthwhile.

Thank you all! Have a nice holiday!

TEN (10) UNEXPECTED AWARDS FOR 2020.

(Covid-19 pandemic changed lot of things)

Never crossed my mind to be awarded with 10 Award of Excellence for my courses taught for year 2020. I wish to thank to Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) for giving me these awards. Active Blended Learning Course award, given to academic courses which fulfilled the requirements in UTM elearning system towards 21st-century learning skills.

Surprisingly, after some careful checking, there are courses which reaches more than 15,000 hits in the elearning system. It means that each student access the system at least five times daily throughout the semester!

I’m not sure if my courses are interesting or difficult until it reaches such a high access hit. Or maybe they are bored at home due to MCO and opt for studying deeper into my courses. Whatever it is, I hope that the knowledge imparted will be useful for students in the future. Let us pray for this pandemic washed away.
