End for #ICT500

ICT500 is coming to the end?

Yeah, A week more till our last meet for "Classroom Presentations" for subject ICT500 that enrolled by Dr.Fariza Hanis Abdul Razak. Then we are off for our finals. Sometimes i am wondering, do all my efforts is worth it? Am i gonna like the outcome for my efforts? but i am always grateful at the end of the process, i took the time to see the way that my family, friends, lecturers and people around me who has encourage and helped me going through this past few month. A few reflections on what has and hasn’t changed since the first day im in the class. 


WHAT I LEARN BEST?

1.       I have been given tons of works (Assignments & Projects) from differ subjects that I had to enrolled this semester. Every subjects needs different way of thingking but one thing that can relate about ICT500 with those works are, how to be more specific/critical when thinks about one thing. That thing helps me to settle problem a lot more easier.


Lets see what I have got here. On one of my class, Dr Fariza taught us on how to think creatively and critically to design my very own purse. All this time, cannot help myself but think one thing of having something is about their looks. But then I came to realize that, there are more aspects that we have to cater when choosing more reliable purse for ourselves like, the size, the compartments in the purse and even the size itself! Specific people! Now I know…….. Then, the next day, I was doing my ELC’s speech about one topic. i did used the same technique to complete my speech & I did presented that topic very well! Walla!

2.     Dr. Fariza once highlighted about the importance of having good times/good communication with our loved ones. I did knew about that. All I know, the first thing that comes to mind when talking about that, family it is. Its true. Or it is not? Hm… It is true. But that is not the only thing we have to takecare of. We came to different environment. Different environment, comes out with different people. Like now, ive just came to UiTM Shah Alam to continue my degree. I met new friends. Yes! Friends! We need to have an eye our vibes/communication with them too. Me and my classmates did planned on going for hiking. Bbq together. We did that! But just hanging out here in Shah Alam..



Ok what? He he. One of good memories to think of 10years later…maybe...if I am still look good like in here okay.


WHAT HAS CHANGED?


1.       I have learnt that, cooperation is important. When doing group work, to make the work at its best, EVERYONE in the group have to participate on doing it. Not just the one who is good at that thing, they have to do more. Life is not working like that. You have to cooperate and be fair with each other. At the end of the process, learn to say thank you to each of them. appreciate the people who have helped you along the way. People will be more pleased to hear words of gratitude rather than words of apology.
2.       Learn to ask when you are questioning something. Don’t be shy or insecure towards anyone. Its for you and yourself. No one will be responsible if someday you failed yourself just because you don’t know the thing you should know. The people that you ask also will feel appreciated by their existence and welcome to help. Raise your hand, be confident & ask. Just ask. There is no wrong on voicing out your opinion.
3.       Work is important, so with family and the people around you. Try to make time for them. They misses you.
4.       Be yourself. Just be yourself. If you want to talk, then talk. You want to voice out your very own opinion, then voice it out. Don’t bottle it up then spill it out to those you are not-supposed-to-spill-it-out. Just do whatever you want. As long as it doesn’t harm yourself, just do it. Make yourself satisfied with it.
5.       Lastly, be patient. Practicing being patient will not only benefit myself but others as well. Yesterday while scrolled down my twitter, I saw this.

 


This is true. While you are mad, you will tend to speak without thinking about others feeling. As long as you feel good. Its not good. Its not how the way it is. Learn to stay in silent and be patient when you are mad about your friends not doing their tasks in grop project or you feel offended when one group try to bring your group down. Let them be. Its better like that.


WHAT DO I LEAST?

Each and everyone of us here have flaws and insecurities. Learn to accept that. No one is perfect either. Even me, I do lack on academic. Some just need to read just once and they can remember it for the entire life. Some just need to read and visualize it. But me? I think I am lack in memorizing something. I need to reread it for like 2 or 3 times, then I can understand it wholely. Its my weakness. And I try harder. InsyaAllah, Allah will ease me.

DOES THIS COURSE AFFECT ME?

Yes, of course. It has taught me to be better in thinking. It affects me to improvise myself to be better and success for my future ahead. Based on what I have learned and what has changed, its clear that I had gained so much in this course. Thanks Dr.Fariza.. Much love.

HOW WOULD I REDESIGN THIS COURSE?

This course involve in thinking creative and critically. It needs us to be walking, talking, discussing, singing and watching. It needs us to move. It needs us to go outside and explore every single thing that had been created for us. I think for this class, if I ever have the chance to redesign it, I want it to be outside. Or we can say, no classroom maybe? More lights that shines outside, more breezy air. It makes us thinks widely. It provides the opportunity for students to help create an inviting environment that supports positive interaction and it empowers students in the process. 

To end this, i am very proud to say that i had completed every task in this subject whether individually or grouping. This course change me to something that i had ever imagine. I think everone will eventually learn what ive got here, but what makes it different than the other, i have learnt it from the best. From someone who knows better, Dr.Fariza Hanis. Thanks teacher! I'll see you when i see you he he he 

Much love xoxo,
