2021 Day 196 Task – Complete Marking Refinery & Petrochemical Tech Course and Updated it in AIMS

Posted on July 16, 2021 ·

Today is a Friday and an off day. I am grateful because I felt fine and healthy despite of the Pfizer injection that I obtained yesterday afternoon. Hence, I woke up early to complete checking the markings, analyze it and update all the marks in AIMS system. I then released the marks for students to view it so that if there is anything that they want to ask or check, then I can help re-check the marks.

After doing that, I checked the status of all ICLCA Chemical Engineering Transaction (CET) papers that my students have submitted. Then I communicated and discussed with relevant students, guide them on how to make improvements based on reviewers comment. I did communicated with Mei Lian, Wan Ting, Farra and also Shams (for MATPR Biodiesel paper).

At night, I had a Mock Presentation session with Azri from Lotte, my PSM Space student. The session was smooth and I gave all important comments to improve Azri’s presentation slide. In Syaa Allah Azri will do fine.

Other highlighted tasks of the day:

  • Discussed with Hafiz, PSM Space student about his work. He is working from Offshore.
  • Watched Theory of Everything movie… (this is not my official activities, but I took a break watching a biography movie of Steven Hawking)

2021 Day 193 Task – Final Exam Refinery and Petrochemical Technology

Posted on July 13, 2021 ·

Today is the final examination day for this subject – Refinery and Petrochemical Technology, that I taught. This is the first time we had to do an online final examination and also a new format for me.
New format means we release Q1, Q2, Q3 and so on in specific times. It began with the release of Q1 and student will answer the question. After 30 minutes, student will have to submit the answer to e-learning. Then Question 2 will be released via e-Learning again, then student will take 40 minutes to answer, then upload it to e-learning.

I found it cool as well as I can immediately mark Q1 while students were answering Q2. As a result I can swiftly start marking the papers via eLearning.

Posted on July 12, 2021 ·

In order to ensure a more secure final exam, I decided to adjust final exam so that students will do Q1 first, followed by Q2, then Q3 and finally Q4. However, it require me to learn the setting up of elearning. I have to play around and created few assignments in elearning and tried the restriction functions. To make long story short, I managed to set up the final exam in a new way, one by one questions will be released when students take the final exam. I’m grateful to my other half who helped me with the set up of my elearning.

2021 Day 190 Task – Checked Education for Chemical Engineer Paper Draft

Posted on July 10, 2021 ·

If yesterday I was checking paper draft for Energy Conversion and Management Journal, today I checked paper draft for Education for Chemical Engineer (ECE) prepared by Nazrul and the gang. This is still the same paper as the one I mentioned the other day. It’s actually the 2nd draft after improvement has been done following my suggestions and comments. I managed to check whole of the paper but there are few things that I need to do with the paper – that are to improve Table 6 and 7 and also add a new paragraph for discussion and analysis.

In Syaa Allah the paper will be fine tomorrow.. Hope so.

2021 Day 189 Task – Checked Energy Conversion & Management Paper Draft

Posted on July 9, 2021 ·

My main task today was purely to check my student’s ECM paper draft which has been pending for 2 weeks. I found it tough to check the paper before this because I need to revamp the Introduction part a lot and that alone has pretty much delayed me. However, the end of today I am very pleased that I managed to stay focused and check the paper up to 90% of the content. I will complete the remaining 10% tomorrow and return the draft back to my student.

Important point: I am very impressed with my student’s work. After all she managed to prepare this 50 page manuscript in 3 months as a PSM student. Remarkable!

2021 Day 186 Task – Checked Potential ECE Paper Publication

Posted on July 6, 2021 ·

I have listed quite a bunch tasks to be completed today. Once of it includes the checking of Nazrul’s paper that is about Engineering Education Scholarly Experiential sharing. The paper was intended for other journal but after listening to Nazrul’s intention and also going through swiftly the paper content, I suggested the paper to be enhanced and submitted to Education for Chemical Engineer (ECE) journal.

ECE is definitely an amazing platform for sharing Engineering Education Scholarly practice sharing and also Engineering Education Research (EER). The recent update last 2 weeks had happily declared that this journal has an impact factor of 2.333. Before this there’s no impact factor recorded and a sudden jump from nothing to 2.333 is such an spectacular success for this highly reputable journal.
