Chemical Engineering Education – Team Peer Teaching in action

1st year 1st semester chemical engineering students (2016) for Faculty of Chemical & Energy Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. Applying Corporative Problem Based Learning (CPBL). This is what we had in our class on Tuesday (4th October 2016). From our observation, initially the students seems to be not sure and uncomfortable to do the team peer teaching. However, after few moments and some guidance by us (me and Dr. Siti Hajjar), they seems to get the momentum, enjoyed and could not stop.

This is indeed an interesting method for teaching and learning. If you have not implementing this teaching method, try it out.

3rd Game – UTM Inter-Deparment Badminton

We just played our 3rd game tonight, which is the first in this knock-out stage. This time we battled Faculty of Science. Surprisingly, I was asked to play single. Hesitated, I obliged with the decision by our team leader / manager (Prof. G). The game started.

If you just read this post, you should read 2 earlier post here and here, to know the complete overview of our game.

Result:

(1) 1st double (PM Dr. Asnizam & Ahmad MPRC) – we LOST unfortunately.

(2) Single (ME) – surprisingly I won (YES)! I was lucky I guessed 🙂 God helped me! And it was a straight set. My opponent was exhausted and slightly heavier than me. That’s some advantage for me.

(3) 2nd double (Prof G. & Roslan Jas) – the decider – again, we lost unfortunately.

OVERALL – We LOST and will not proceed to the quarter final tomorrow.

Well, it’s ok. It’s just a nice game. I treated it as an activity for me to exercise (but during the game, it can turned out to be very tense!)

InsyaAllah, we’ll try next year 🙂

Go FCEE!
