Day 196 Task – Grading MKKK Safety in Chemical Plant MKKK1653

After completing my grading and marking for Plant Design Project (PDP) Course and also Graduate Student Attribute (GSA) Course, it’s time to focus on marking my master course MKKK1653 Master in Chemical Plant Safety. At this point of time of writing this post, I have not completed, but I can say I have made significant progress in the markings. I am left with less than half of the marking. If I can complete all of this by tomorrow, I will be very happy guy.

At the same time, I also watched few webminars which were scheduled today. The one that I really follow was this one:

Day 195 Task – Teaching my Undergraduate Research Student How Thermodynamic Modelling Analysis Using HSC Chemistry

In view of Covid 19, the undergraduate research students were asked to do non-experimental based research. Since I have asked them to perform thermodynamic analysis study using a software, I took the time to record a video of me showing how to use the software. Then I share the video to them and later at night, we had a Webex meeting for them to ask questions in case they have any problems. The video have actually helped them to learn faster than i thought.

Day 194 Task – Finalizing PDP and GSA Marks

I was very focus to complete the marking of the Plant Design Project (PDP) and Graduate Student Attribute (GSA) course marks. One full day was required just to do that. Finally I managed to filled in GSA marks in AIMS, but have not release the marks yet for students to view. In the other hand, I am planning to audit my own PDP marks once again since there are tonnes of marks and assessment for PDP. It’s like that due the fact that it is a Capstone Course with 14 CLO, the most a course in Chemical Engineering could ever have.
