It is me, Sue Chin and Jayson. 

Reflection - week 6

I did not attend the class this week because I was at my hometown. We have class a day before Nuzul Al-Quran holiday and that is why there were quite numbers of students who absence. The presentations went on because Ms. Amreet does not want wasted the time. She just proceed the presentation like usual. When I am back here, I asked Sue Chin what has going on in the class during my absence. She told me there are several students who presented their Prezi. They are Amira, Geetha Baskaran, Fatin Syamimi, Wardah, Insyirah and Aidawate. She briefly explained to me about the topic that they were presented.

            As informed, Amira was the first presenter and she gave the information about yawning. It is a fun topic to be shared and we also can know why we yawn. What I know is everybody does yawn. Suddenly, I feel like I want to yawn.

            Next is Geetha Baskaran. She was presented on colour psychology. Sue Chin told me that she gave a paper contained a few questions to analyse which colour are we. She gave it to everyone in the class and each colour has different personality. So this activity can help us to define our personality. I think it is interesting and if I could, I want to be in the class and do the test to find my personality through the colours.

            Then is Fatin Syamimi and what Su Chin has informed me, she has presented the topic on facts about French. Sue Chin said to me that she likes the image of Eiffel Tower that Fatin Syamimi had made it her background image. Wardah presented about clinical vampirism. Before that, what I know about this topic is it is kind of obsession with drinking blood and yes, it is true. It is an interesting topic but to some people it might be disgusting to them because it is involved blood. Some people afraid of blood and they even cannot see a blood. But for me, I am okay with it.

            Not only that, Sue Chin told me about Insyirah’s presentation. She presented on the topic myth around the world and Sue Chin found so impressed when she heard there is a people who cut his ears down. To be truth, I am impressed with that fact too. For the last presenter of that day, who presented on vegetables and the person is Aidawate. She talked about how vegetables can make and help us pretty. I love this topic because I am a vegetables lover. I love to eat vegetables and I know it has alot of advantages.  

Reflection - week 5

Time come so fast. It is already week 5 of lecturer. Many presentations from students have been done this week. Unfortunately, Ms. Amreet was not feeling well and she came late to the class because she had gone to see a doctor. Right after she came in to the class, presentation started. The first presenter of the day, Shafika has presented a topic on the clearest water on earth and she gave ten interesting and beautiful places which have the clearest water on earth. At the same time, we got to enjoy those beautiful scene and pictures that she shared. She asked us where the most wanted place do you want to go and for me, I chose Maldives. The reason why I chose Maldives is because it is one of the sequestrated holiday destinations, worldwide. Plus, The Meldives as we know it is a thread of little islands, where luxury meets nature. We will be safe from any pollution and it is all about fresh air, crystals clear waters, beautiful scenery and the beautiful underwater life we can explore. Everything is designed for pure loosening and it is like a world paradise.

Then, proceed with the second presenter, Syarafuddin. He has presented on the topic, Zodiac Killer. He created a creepy situation by making scary background music. He has presented an interesting topic but I am wonder why the killer like to kill other people? And why the cases cannot be solved until now. Then, the topic Jack the Ripper was presented by Halim. The story is about a killer who killed only the prostitute. I do not know why and this question makes me wonder again. Syarafuddin and Halim have shown the tragic pictures that how people were killed.

Later, Zul gave us information about the mystery of Oak Island and he talked about treasure which many people had talked about it and try to find it for the rest of their life. But until now, no one managed to find what is actually have in there. Sharveena then presented about Greek Gods and Goddesses which for me, it was interesting topic to be shared as she included a short animated video during her presentation. Last but not least, the last presenter for that day is Lachvini. She presented a topic on plastic surgery. During she presented, I gave my fully concentrated on it because the topic is very interesting for me. She told about the advantages and also the disadvantages of doing plastic surgery. Eventhough the advantages is to make people prettier and have a good figure to make them more confident to be in public, but for me, I will never do plastic surgery because there are risk. I am very grateful with what I have right now.  

Reflection - week 4

This week, the Prezi presentation will be started. Ms. Amreet said the volunteers will be present first. There are several volunteers on that day which Jayson as the first person do the presentation followed by Sue Chin Lim, MimiWahida, Musliha Sulhajjar, Puteri Liyana, Calvin and also Hasnol. During the presentation, there a photography who will take the pictures during the presentations.

            Jayson a/l Sehsu started the presentation on that day very well. He explained the topic on Narcolepsy. Narcolepsy is sleep disorder that causes excessive sleepiness and frequent daytime sleep attacks. It affects the control of sleep and wakefulness. People with Narcolepsy experience excessive daytime sleepiness and intermittent, uncontrollable episodes of falling asleep during the daytime. These sudden sleep attacks may occur during any type of activity at any time of the day. To be truth, I know nothing about this kind of illness but after Jayson gives the details explanation about this, I knew it. He gave the clear point and all of the students can understand what he wanted to say. 

            Next person is Sue Chin Lim. She present and gave the informative topic on Natural Herbs. Natural herbs are very effective in boosting the immune system, increasing the body resistance to infections, healing the allergies, and raising and renewing the body vitality. She gives a lot of information regarding on natural herbs topic. There are many new things that I learn from her. All the points are clear and she explained it well.

            The next topic is there are ten ways on how to recognize a liar and the presenter is MimiWahida. This topic will help us to know whether someone is lying on us or not. Mostly people lie for many reasons, but depending on how skilled they are, it can be difficult to determine when someone is lying to us right. Actually we can know they are lying by some signs that they make. The signs are the person who is lying to you won’t make eye contact to you or make too much eye contact, avoid using contractions, make weird body language, and provide more additional information. Actually there are several more.

            Next person is Musliha Sulhajjar. She presented on the topic ‘Does UFO really exist?’. She explained the the meaning of UFO. UFO stands for Undefined Flying Object. Many perceptions had been received from all over the place. Puteri Liyana talked about ‘taboo’. Taboo means a social or religious custom prohibiting or forbidding discussion of a particular practice or forbidding association with a particular person, place or thing. She also gave the explanations about ‘taboo’ and also the examples of it. Proceed with Calvin and he talked about FIFA at Brazil and last but not least, Hasnol gave the information on the topic Syiah vs Sunni. 

Reflection - week 3

Reflection week 3.

This is week three. I am busier that the last week because I need to complete my Prezi by this week and be prepared for the presentation as well. I need to make it all prepared. I need to check for spelling, punctuation, grammar, capitalization errors. Then I need to make myself practice my presentation alone to make sure that it works and looks the way I want it to. If I have trouble with pronouncing certain words, I need to replace them with words that mean the same meaning but easier to say and pronounced it.

Plus, this week, Ms. Amreet said that she will proceed with the blog. We have to do and create our own blog which is considered as personal blog. Creating our own blog is one of our assignments and it carried out 30% from our marks. It is a lot of marks and I think I need to do it perfectly.

First thing first, she gave us the basic information to become a blogger and why we need to have our own blog. As compared to a website, a blog is way easier to start. We do not have to consider complex designs and many other different stuff as we do for a website. She taught us how to create our own blog. We can either choose a free blogging platform like WordPress.com or Blogger.com to set up and create our blog. It is up to us.

 I never have my own blog before but after this lesson, I feel that publishing content or post on our blog is very easy.  If we know how to type in a Word document, we can easily write blog post. It is really that easy. It would be great if we add some relevant pictures and links to other sources. Now, I have my personal blog and I can anything that I want in my blog. I can share my beautiful moments with other people.

It is true that it is my blog, but it is an academic blog. The reason why I create a blog is because I need to do it as it is part of my assignment. So, in this blog, I have to add several things. The things are, I need to do an essay about myself, my family and friends. Not only that, I need to do reflections for every week within this fourteen weeks without failed. In that reflections, I have to write and put anything that related to this course. Starting from this day, I need to start update my blog. Later, Ms. Amreet will check my job to evaluate it.

Reflection - week 2

As promise, on this week, Ms. Amreet will do a Prezi workshop. Even though we have learnt about Prezi on the last semester, we still need the workshop from her because every person has their own skills and creativity. So we need to learn new things from her too. Before she proceeds with the workshop, she asked me to show to her our topic and explain briefly what we will put in our Prezi later.

I have met her before the class started with Sue Chin and Jayson at her room personally. So I have shown her my topic and told her briefly what the things that I will put in my Prezi later. Luckily, my topic accepted and I do not have to find another topic for my presentation. As addition she asks me to find some images and videos to be added in my presentation and she told me to make it interesting.

While the others are busy showing their topic to Ms. Amreet, Sue Chin, Jayson and I were busy finding for more information about our topic and find some images and interesting videos for our presentation. I need to make it fast because this is week two and we need to present it on week 4. So far, I have found all my information and all the images and videos that I need. I can start make my own Prezi later on.

After all the students had shown their topic, Ms. Amreet started the workshop. First she asked us whether we have our own account for Prezi or not. Of course we have it because we have learnt it before. Then she said this will make everything easier. She does not have to show one step by one step to us to start using the Prezi. She gives a briefly talk on how to use Prezi. Before we end our class for that day, Ms. Amreet told us that we can start our Prezi if we already have enough information about our topics.

I chose blank Prezi because I want to make my own theme regarding on my topic, Halloween’s Eve. I decorated and designed my Prezi by my own. I applied whatever that I have learned before to this Prezi. I do my best to make it interesting. I chose the best point to be put in my slide. I connected all my text point and images with transitions so that my slides can be read and understandable. Not only that, to make it more interesting, I added some clip arts and bullet points so my point will be  more clear.

The reason why I chose Halloween as my topic is because I found it interesting. Why? It is because in Malaysia, Halloween is not celebrated grandly by all the people. Usually, Halloween is celebrated in many others Christian countries around the globe. Halloween takes place on 31^st of October and it is one of the popular celebrations in the world.  

Reflection - week 1

We have started our forth semester on 9^th June 2014. For this semester we are taking six subjects and one of it is Writing for Multimedia & the Web. We have been lectured by Ms. Amreet Kaur a/p Jageer Singh. She is newly here in Sultan Idris Education University and of course, she is still young. Past, she was a lecturer at University Sains Malaysia (USM) and then she moved here. To be frank, she was a student of UPSI before and no doubt, she was an excellent student.

For the first class, Ms. Amreet introduced herself first and then she asked all of us introduced ourselves among the classmates. Then she proceeds with the next questions. She asked us, “What do you expect from this course?”

I said, “I hope that I can learn and understand more about this subject. Plus, hopefully I can improve my writing skills especially for this course, Writing for Multimedia & the Web”.

Later she told us about the instructional planner for this course. For the first, we need to do a Prezi presentation. This is an individual task and it carried 15% from our coursework. We need to start present this Prezi presentation on week 4. The topic for this presentation should be informative. Anything can be our topic as long as it is an interesting topic to be share and beneficial to others.

So the first thing that I have to do is finding the best and interesting topic as soon as possible because I need to get the approval from Ms. Amreet first. It is because if she thinks the topic that I chose not suitable or not interesting, she will asked us to find another topic to be chose.
