Day 217 Task – Course Analysis Report (CAR) Preparation for Graduate Student Attribute (GSA) Course

Posted on August 4, 2020 ·

I was shocked yesterday since the GSA Coordinator informed to submit the CAR for GSA today before 10am. So, without wasting any time, I started to prepare the CAR report for GSA as early as 7am, since I have no experience yet using the iOBE platform. It was quite a challenge to prepare the CAR report at such a rush but Alhamdulillah I managed to complete it just before 9am. I submitted the report to the coordinator and I planned to start working on the CAR for my master subject and also Plant Design Project today. Let’s see how it goes.

Today, I also presented the marks for my PA students to our Deparment Head. The result is just fine with all students did not complete the lab at Fakulti Science in view of the Pandemic.

Later Update:

It was not easy as there are errors in the iOBE system when I attempted to start the CAR for MKKK1653 course. Frustrated, puzzled and confused, I decided to continue tomorrow.

Day 216 Task – Continuation of the ICLCA2020 and ICOST2020 Paper Improvement

Posted on August 3, 2020 ·

I haven’t yet fully completed the correction and improvement of the paper that need to be submitted to ICLCA2020 and ICoST2020 as shared before here and here. Because of that, I need to focus on completing at least 2 manuscripts today.  Not only that I have 2 for ICLCA2020 and 1 manuscript for ICoST2020, I also have 1 manuscript each for RCEE2020 and ICCME2020 that need to be corrected and prepared, respectively.

I hope today will be a productive day in terms of completing most of the papers. InsyaAllah

Day 215 Task – Participated in Korban Activity at Surau Al-Taqwa

Posted on August 2, 2020 ·

Two days ago, Friday, was the Eid Adha and it was a very meaningful moment for Muslim’s around the world. Surau Al-Taqwa is the surau that I perform my prayers in this community. Usually the sacrifice (Korban) were made on the first day, 10 Zulhijjah, but this year, in view of Covid and also since the Eid falls on a Friday, the sacrifice was performed on the 3rd day which was today (Sunday).

I took the opportunity to participate in the Sacrifice at the Surau. Seven cows were sacrificed and a lot of us, the nearby community helped in the process. This is part of our social obligation, community service that we should do.
