Posted on February 17, 2022 ·

I spent majority of today to do most of the grading of my ITE student’s Reflection Journal and also Meta-Reflection Journal assignment. Since the reflections were submitted online in e-learning, I did all the readings, evaluation and commenting online as well.

I love reading student’s reflection. Besides knowing what and how they feel, I can also learn something new from the students as well.

2022 Day 46 Task – Online Discussion on New Thermodynamic Work

Posted on February 15, 2022 ·

I am glad and happy that I am working with a nice Malaysian person who is not my student and not attached to a university yet. The student is supposed to be my PhD students this coming March semester, however, because she received an offer from a university from outside Malaysia, hence she has to turned down being my PhD student. I understand her a lot in the sense that she wanted to have international / foreign exposure after having her bachelor and masters degree in Malaysia. It’s good to travel and learn new things abroad.

I have been discussing and guiding her on this new thermodynamic topics since end of January. This afternoon, after lunch, we had a Webex meeting because she was not yet well verse with the thermodynamic software. Hence, I suggested to have the meeting so I can explain more on the software and how to use it. It went well and I am hoping that we can come out with a very good publication soon.

2022 Day 44 Task – Respond to Student’s Test Queries & Result

Posted on February 13, 2022 ·

Introduction to Engineering Test result was released to the students of my class last week. Some of the students inquired about the answers, marks, and others. I did not have the time to entertain them last week due to managing some other tasks. Today I make it a point to respond to all those who have asked me about their test result.

The delay for doing this was also partly because of the online class. At least if we are face to face, then we can immediately response to them. Even though this maybe a small task, it is still super important for me as an educator. As a lecturer, our focus on teaching and helping our students.

Other tasks of the day:

  • Updating student’s marks for ITE
  • SCEE RAE Project proposal still on-going
