Week 2

20110125, the second class of multimedia seminar. What a sad thing because this class is just once per week, anyhow, it's take 3 hours long for this class. It's quite tiring because before this class I got another class from 8am-11am. So I'm just can't really pay attention some moments. (just some moments! haha.)

Well, I would like to start blog about the lectures and my feelings for today's class. First of all, Encik Syamsul continued call the rest students from last week to give the audience a self introduction. So, this time my turn! Although all of the students in the class I knew before, but anyhow I feel so panic. I think I should improve my presentation skills and control my emotion, yea, I must take this seriously!

After that, Encik Syamsul told us one more time about the syllabus and explain details in each assignments we have to take part in later on. First assignment, work in pairs. I'm so hard to find one partner, Chin Ting Ting. I'm so appreciate that, I hope we can give each other good cooperation. And I will try my best on the assignment too. Assignment 1 is talking about an academic paper writing onto one of the titles that given by lecturer.

So, Encik Syamsul gave us 60 titles, and let the representative of each group to withdraw the title in the envelope on lecturer's hand. Our group's title is lucky number 5 which refer to"Penggunaan animasi dalam pendidikan". I hope we can do it well on the paper writing. The due date of 1st draft submission is set on 16th Feb, that is right after Chinese New Year.

And I'm so happy for one thing is, Encik Syamsul is a democratic leader. He let the crowd to choose what is the best way to put our marks in. We can freely give our opinions. Some students do not want any quizzes, some want to reduce the quantity of quizzes, and some want to eliminate quizzes and launch one more assignment(assignment 4). According to majority, we reduce one quiz of 4, and put the extra 5 marks in the assignment 1. So, friends, do hard on your assignment 1. Keep work hard!

So, that's all for today, have a nice day!

Multimedia Seminar for me is...

20110118 is the first day class for STIV 3073 Multimedia Seminar, our lecturer is Encik Syamsul Bahrin Zaibon. This is a must take subject by all last semester student of Multimedia (aka BMM). So I never ever step one class like all the students are BMM, this is not only a class, just like a gathering. (of course, doesn't mean that gathering so we don't need to pay attention on En. Syamsul)

I like this class, Encik Syamsul called our name one by one and let us do a simple introduction of ourselves in front of the class. This was funny because we knew all of them. I think Encik Syamsul got another purpose on doing so, maybe want to know what is the attitude of a student through the way he/she introduce themselves.

Encik Syamsul just called out half of the crowd to do the self introduction, and the rest next week...Encik Syamsul explained what really is Multimedia Seminar to us, and talking about the syllabus. This subject doesn't required any notes because 100% coursework, that mean NO FINAL EXAM, is it a happy thing? For me YES~ But I have to try harder in the coursework(assignments 1,2,&3) because it leads my final grade up or down.

Other than that, the lectures today not only that. Encik Syamsul told us about the assignment 2(individual), each student has to create one blog and at least post one entry per week, based on the lectures contents. This is a good idea to note down everything in the lectures, isn't it? Well, besides the diary for lectures, we have to put an extra page under the same blog address as "e-Portfolio". What is e-Portfolio? This is a way to show our projects/assignments we have done in previous semesters. And it can be the medium to show the interviewer/director of the company we wish to involve ourselves in as our resume.

That's all for today~have a nice day!
