Day 208 Task – Inserting Master MKKH1653 marks into the GSMS System

Posted on July 26, 2020 ·

Finally, I completed inserting the final marks for MKKK1653 Master in Chemical Plant Safety and Health into the GSMS system. Unfortunately, the GSMS system was not functioning properly and the submitted marks were said to be completed and finalized, which was not supposed to happen. but it’s OK, nothing to be worried because I managed to get hold with those from Academic Office to help me deal with the matter as I have some marks that were wrongly added.

Apart from this, I have several other tasks such as following up all my UG and PG students. Need to follow up with their progress and get them move…

But among the interesting task today was the updating of the Perisytiharan Harta into the system, which was sent back to me due to some inaccurate data inserted by myself last February 2020. Alhamdulillah, everything was settled, thanks to the clerk who kindly assisted me. She knew me and knew my father too. And the funny thing is that she is my friend in Facebook 🙂 Haha.. what a small world.

Day 207 Task – No Official Academic Activities

Posted on July 25, 2020 ·

Today, I freed myself from any official academic or research activities. I just spent my beautiful Saturday on my new personal interest which is exploring the internet to learn various new things. I also relaxed, break the pattern of my strict routine by watching Keluarga Iskandar sitcom which is very funny and interesting.

Most importantly, I have planned all the important task to be accomplished for tomorrow, a brand new day and week.

Working productively is good, but too much of something is bad. Hence, from time to time, I try to balance myself and mix it with other activities, not just official work.

Day 206 Task – Completing the review of Education for Chemical Engineer (ECE) Manuscript

Posted on July 24, 2020 ·

 

The paper that I reviewed today was the revised version of the manuscript that I have reviewed earlier. It was a very interesting manuscript about safety course that is being introduce to the bachelor of chemical engineering curriculum in one of the European country. The manuscript which was earlier quite OK has now became a very lengthy and valuable interesting great article. I am glad to be part of the reviewer who provided some of the inputs and comments to make the manuscript at its present state. Well, that’s part of our job, as a critical reviewer in the engineering education sector, particularly in the chemical engineering niche.

Day 205 Task – UMS Chemical Engineering PDP Viva Session

Posted on July 23, 2020 ·

As shared yesterday, today I will be the evaluator / assessor for Team 1 and Team 8 for the Final Year Chemical Engineering students of Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS).  The first session started at 9am, which is the session with Team 1 while 10.45am was the session with Team 8. The session which took place in Google Meet was smooth and fruitful. I did asked many questions and also in some areas helped clarify few things to the students.

At 2.30pm, a special session involving invited assessors, supervisors and students were held, also in Google Meet. I was given the opportunity to comment and give suggestions on the session held in the morning. Other assessors also commented as well.

Overall it was a very good session. I learned a lot from the program, even though I was the assessor. I learned how they handled / conducted the program. It is good for me since I am the Coordinator for PDP in the Chemical Engineering program in UTM.

Day 204 Task – Reviewing UMS Chemical Engineering Plant Design Project Pre-Recorded Presentation

Posted on July 22, 2020 ·

I was invited to evaluate Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) Chemical Engineering Plant Design Project (PDP) for their Final Year Student. It was my first time to be invited for this program and I have earlier agreed. Since the program will take place tomorrow and the pre-recorded presentation have been given to me 2 days ago, I spent basically almost the whole day watching tentatively to this presentation. It is not like the PDP that we have for our chemical engineering PDP in UTM.

For this, I was assigned to be the evaluator for 2 teams, which were Team 1 and Team 8. Each team have a general pre-recorded presentation and each members will also have their own pre-recorded presentation. The allowed time for each individual presentation in 15 minutes maximum. Each team have 5 students. Just imagine the time spent to view the presentation, and also to understand it, plus jotting down questions to be asked.

Luckily I managed to complete all videos by the end of the day and have all my questions ready for tomorrow. Wish me luck for tomorrow.

Day 203 Task – Miscellaneous Tasks

Posted on July 21, 2020 ·

Today, I am not going to specify a special official task. I will be sharing a few that I will do today and that include:

  1. Improving and making correction for ICLCA manuscript after receiving comments from reviewers few days ago.
  2. To do review for Education for Chemical Engineer (ECE) journal.
  3. To work on my Master student research paper.
  4. To follow up on my PhD students job progress – Four of them at the moment which I am the main SV.
  5.  To work on HTGYE book.
  6. To check and review my task as External / Industrial Panel for UMS Chemical Engineering Plant Design Project this coming Thursday.

OK, let’s just see at the end of the day if I managed to complete all of it. If I can complete more than half of the list, that’s still good enough, good progress for me.

Day 202 Task – Finalizing Plant Design Project Marks

Posted on July 20, 2020 ·

Yesterday I focus on finalizing Master Safety marks. Today, my prime goal is to once again check the final marks for Plant Design Project (PDP). There are so many marks, so many data, so critical and no room for mistakes as the credit marks for PDP is huge. It was very challenging, really, and at one point I have to seek help from Dr. Azizul to double check / audit the marks that I have finalized. Alhamdulillah, he pointed out one part which was not correct and after that all the marks were fine.

Bottom line, in this particular task, i learned that we need to be very careful, meticulous, detail, patient, when handling student marks which could be a critical point that direct the faith of their live direction. This is no joke. I don’t want to be making silly or careless mistake in deciding an important grade for this capstone subject. There’s no wrong to seek some assistance from our team to double check our work. It shows that we have integrity, nothing to hide, no personal agenda and no ulterior motive.

Day 201 Task – Finalizing Master MKKH Marks

Posted on July 19, 2020 ·

Today, after getting the marks from Dr. Norzita, I checked, combined the marks and finalized it. The final marks result was not as usual but it was just fine for the 9 students under us. Though the final marks are ready, I have not yet key it into the system. I will probably do it in this coming few days as I want to focus on triple checking the Plant Design Project (PDP) marks which have so many data. Imagine having 14 Course Learning Outcomes for PDP and each weak there’s like 1 CLO to cover. Wish me luck.

Day 200 Task – Taking Break

Posted on July 18, 2020 ·

Today, I decided not to deal with anything related to official work. It’s not because it was the 200th day and I needed a celebration. It was just an impulse decision. I just wanted to free myself from academic and research related activities for a while.

Hence, I just did other home activities, home stuffs such as cutting the grass using our new lawn mower, cleaning this and that in the house, a bit of home chores etc. Sometimes we need to do things differently to right?

Day 199 Task – AJEE Management

Posted on July 17, 2020 ·

This is one task which I have to monitor and handle from time to time and it’s proven quite challenging. But it is OK. I’m up to the challenge which I have taken since the beginning of MCO Covid 19. If I am not mistaken it has been about 3 or 4 months since I took over handling this AJEE journal from Prof Fatin. Alhamdulillah we have managed to published Volume 4 Issue 1. Now I am working on to publish Volume 4 Issue 2. InsyaAllah, please pray for us to make AJEE a scopus indexed journal soon.
