For this week, it was the first week after the hari raya holiday
and it seems like everyone still in their raya mood including myself. To be
honest, I still wanted to continue my holiday and if I could I wanted to stay
at home just for a few days more. However, we have to back to the reality as we
are a student. Student life – Go to class, do assignment, presentations,
quizzes and sit for final exam. As usual, our class on Monday will be started
at 4.00 pm until 7.00 pm. It’s quite a tiring day because we have classes the
whole day.
Once Miss Amreet entered the class, everybody started to quite and
focus on what she wanted to talk. Before anything and before she started with
the lecture, she informed us that starting from this week, which mean week
eight, it will be the monitoring weeks for the lecturers. It means that all the
lecturers need to monitor their students’ progress in their assignment and also
the attendance to the lecture. She also warned that she will issue a warning
letter to those who are absent and those who are not managed to come to her
class without any valid reasons or letter before and after this.
She even called for those who are absent to her lecture without any
valid reasons and letters. I am one of the person who did not came to her
class. I did not come to her class because I went back to my home and because
of that, I cannot give her any valid reasons or even a letter. She called us as
a reminder for us because we are in risk of getting a warning letter. She said
to us that for the first warning, it will be just a verbal warning, but if we
are absent again, we will get a second warning, a letter from the department.
She said again, if we absent again, we will be bearing from the exam, means
that we cannot sit for the final and we have to take this course again next
semester. I talked to myself that I cannot fail to come to her lecture again.
If not, I am dead.
Later on, she continued with her lecture. In the class, she asked
us to find or browse for three good websites and three bad websites. The purpose
of this task is to make sure that we can differentiate and recognised which websites
are good and which are not. Good websites means the websites that followed the
correct style of writing for the web which Miss Amreet has explained to us last
week while the bad websites are those who not followed the correct format of
writing for the web. She did not a limit to find any kind of websites that we want.
It does not matter whether it is a personal blog, blog or even a business blog.
It is up to us. I do this task as a pair work with Nurul Aidawate bt Abd Abha
because she did not brought laptop that day, so we need to share. We have problems
during finding the bad websites because all the websites we were found was the
good websites. But at the end, we managed to find three bad websites too. These
are the links:
Good
websites:
Bad
websites:
Then, after we had found all the good and bad websites, she asked
us to post the links in wikispace.com where she has created a section for her
students to post the list of the websites that they found online. Once we have
done that, Miss Amreet called one by one to explain about their websites. Unfortunately,
Nurul Aidawate and I are not being called to explain about our websites that we
found. We considered the websites are bad because of some mistakes such as the
fonts, background, languages such as grammar and swear words.
Not only that, later she called the leader for digital story
telling assignment to ask about the progress for the assignment. I am in the
same group with Sue Chin, Jayson and Calvin, so Calvin and Jayson had met her
in front. Unfortunately, none of us had started the work. Thus, Miss Amreet
told us to come up with title, theme, plot and also the story line for our
story by this week and she will be meeting us again by next week as we just
meet her once in a week just to know about the progress. I know that we do not have
much time left and we still have to present our digital story telling
assignment in week 13.
In next session, Miss Amreet let us to continue with our homepage
assignment. This task is a pair work and my partner is Lim Sue Chin. She also
showed to us few examples of homepage. I know it was a reminder for us to work
on our homepage as soon as possible as we need to submit it on week 10, it
means two weeks left. After that, Miss Amreet also gave her lecture on
Commercial Styles such as business style, database style and marketing style.
