My Student’s Comments from Previous Semester
Assalamualaikum w.r.m w.b.t and greetings to everyone,
I am sure as a teacher or lecturer, we always want to give our best to our students. I believe once we put our ‘heart’ and ‘soul’ in teaching, good things will come back to us.
Last semester was quite smooth for me. I am grateful to have students who are passionate in learning, full of love and respect towards me.
Thank you for being you. Thank you for being a good student. Thank you for teaching me to be a good teacher.
I hope I can see you guys again next semester. Till then, I attached few comments that I found in my e-ppp system.

Assalamualaikum wmt wbt 💕
Dear fellow readers, colleagues and students👨🎓👩🎓
Alhamdulillah, Allah has granted us health and strength to cherish 2018 peacefully and granted us to embark on insyaAllah, a beautiful journey for 2019.
My hope for this year, is to be a good servant to Allah as He allows me to live a good life, to have a caring husband and family, to be able to serve the nation, and to be able to continue my duty as His servant.
InsyaAllah for this year, I will write often. I will polish my writing skill. I have set the target to publish at least 10 scopus paper this year. InsyaAllah.
Academically, I want to improve my teaching skill, as well as to read and publish more.
I believe, when you do something, you must start with a good intention. Then, the rest is history. Continue to stay positive no matter what , even sometimes there are hurdles in life. You just need to face it.
This year, I have 2 amanah in my tiny shoulders. I was appointed as RG leader for CITE research group and another one is as functionary coordinator (pemangku). I temporarily carry on work as research and publication coodinator for my school ( School of Education, UTM) for 6 months.
Hope that everything went smoothly.
With Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, I welcome you 2019 🧕
Regards,
Farhana
A New Malaysia
As one of the government servants who serves the government of the day, I would like to congratulate our newly appointed Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad who is now 7th PM of Malaysia. Dr Mahathir proves to us that age is just a number. With his wisdom and his vast experience, I believe that Malaysian is in good hands now. So lets move forward and show our support to Tun M and his brilliant team! ☺
Regards,
Farhana
