TASK 11-SELF-REFLECTION ON BIOCHEMISTRY

Nur Izzati Binti Jeafree-72545

Dear Dr Hashimatul,

During this semester I really enjoy your class. I like the way you teach and attract the student to keep active in your class. I also like your energy every time you start and end your class. The way you teach us makes me easy to understand your lecture without referring into your notes. Between this 14 weeks, I enjoyed your last class which we learn about the lipid. The technique that you used is very efficient to me and it makes me understand better than other lectures before. It make me more focus because we need to search and study our own topic and we need to understand it. So that we can deliver it to the other group members. This activities makes me be more independent and be responsible to the task that have been given. At the same time, I can improve my communication skill in order to attract my classmate to focus on what I want to deliver. I also like the Kahoot game, because we can recall back what we have learn during that day lecture. Then, on the Problem Solving Learning (PBL) session, to be honest I like this session more than in Asasi UNIMAS. This is because we only spent 30 minutes for 15 marks while in Asasi we need to spent 6 hours to get 10 marks. This PBL session is very fast but full with information. I also feel thankful for having such a nice group members that always support each other during the PBL sessions. I still remembered, during the second class you already give us 3 tasks which too much for me that time. One of your task is making a youtube video about solubility NAOH compound and water. That is my first time making and editing a video which is very useful for me. This is because for this first semester we need to make videos for other subjects. So from this task it improve my IT skill and my confident in making a good quality of videos. On the other hand, the lab session also give a good memories to me because back to my Asasi time, there will a lecturer that going to explain about the practical that we are going to make. But in my degree life we need to prepared our selves before entering the lab. We need to work with our group member independently without the lecturers’ help. And what I love the most is we need to use our brain to do the report in order to prevent any plagiarism. Since the lab report format is still the same with the Asasi’s so I still can catch up with it. Last but not least,I really like the idea of making an e-portfolio as a final exam. This is because this kind of work is more efficient compare to the final exam.this is because the student will only study just for the final and not going to understand and remember it for the whole life. But for the e-portfolio, the student always updates their blog and they make it without rush so that they will understand it more clearly than than the test. It also helpful for the student and the lecturer since it only using the internet. Since the earth is getting old, so we need use less paper in order to conserve the trees. Conclusion, I really enjoy your teaching skill and I hope that we can meet again for the next semester.

Dear Dr Hashimatul,

Looking back on this class, it had opened my mind that learning method does not restricted to only one way but can be done in various ways. Dr Hashimatul had proved that learning can be done by doing freely discussion and open session. It gaves me a friendly and closed environment thus making me more eager to learn something new. This class is quite different from other class as it is more to student-centered as the student need to find the information themselves instead of relying to the notes given by the lecturer. For me, it is great as it keeps the students awake for the whole class compared to 3 hours lecture where the possibility for the students to stay focus during the class is very low. One thing that I noticed during these 14 weeks of studying biochemistry, I could stay focused and understand the subject better compared to others. This had been proven when the lecturer do the Kahoot game where I can recall back on what I learnt during the whole class. This games make me become competitive to get the highest mark and it makes me enjoy the subject although I am not very good with this subject at first place. As for the Problem Based Learning (PBL) session, the time given for the session is quite short as there is only 30 minutes to talk and there are around 8-10 members for mostly group .I think the time should be longer to allow each member to have enough time to gives their opinion. However,the knowledge that I gained from this session is immense and to simply summarize it, I would have claimed that it gives me a new light of how biochemistry works. For the assignment, I prefer e-portfolio compared to final examination as it does helps students in many ways. For instance, it gives student more time to focus more in it and improve their work time by time. This helps students a lot in improving their result as they have plenty time to redo their work to get the best result. Through this assignment, it gives the student more exposure to use technology for studying such as making video, infographic and blog on their own. Lastly, I believe that by learning biochemistry, it can helps us to understand about our body process other than chemical reaction such as respiration and nutrient that we get from each food class.

Dear DrHashimatul


During this semester,my favorite and most interested course is biochemistry. Not because I like this course, but because I like the way the Dr teaches. Different from other lectures, Dr tend to allow us to think for ourselves. This keeps me from feeling bored in this class. Although it is a good idea to watch the slide in class, but we do not have much time to think and choose to believe the information we see is true. In addition, I also like the group discussion. This is a platformthat is rarely performed in other classrooms. This part allows .me to share knowledge with other members and debate our opinions with other members. This undoubtedly increases our knowledge and enhances our thinking ability. Third, I like this course because the teacher is a very nice person. You will tell us very carefully. In addition, Dr’s good temper made me feel no stress at all during class. Therefore, I am very grateful for the contribution of the Dr and I am grateful as I can be your biochemistry student.
