Subj: Academic Skill
Date/Day : Wednesday/26 March 2014

On Wednesday, our lecturer give us activity to think about what we should draw in the drawing paper according to the question given. When we are ask to choose one question without knowing about the question, I get " what or who need to be cool down". Below is the drawing that I made.

Fig 1 : What or Who need to be cool down

  I make this drawing because nowadays weather is extremely hot, so the snowman indicate about the melting of glacier in the south pole and north pole. The earth is resemble the problem that largely happen now that is the global warming. Even though, everyone need to cool down, but it also need a payment or charge in getting it. The global warming and the melting of glacier need a great budget to repairing or maintain the temperature of the earth. But for me, if we need to maintain we should do it before it become worse and think about the consequences that will happen because of the ignorance in human mind.

Subj: Academic Skill ( Reflection about Blog Presentation )

Teacher: Miss Nadyra Bashir

    Last week, our group had done Academic Skill presentation with our lecturer. Then, our lecturer told us to comment on our friend group how we can improve or maintain with 3 bad comment and 3 good comment to our friend. I had been require to comment about Aisyah presentation. I told her about the she need to be brave when public speaking with people especially in English. She also need to improvise speaking in English and control her shaking when talking with people. The good thing is, she improvise from before.

      Then our lecturer give her own opinion about our presentation. When, she told me that I was mature in the group, I feel like it's funny because I not what it seem. Then, I speak monotonously so I think I should change my tone of speaking in presentation. When I was told to presenting something, I tend to throw out what other people do such as laughing or any other thing that will disturbing the presentation because I like to make my presentation short, simple but full with information.

       The presentation is from Samira. She organize her blog sleekly and her powerful technical word in her presentation. She also good in explaining the concept and the word that we don't understand.

      Then, our lecturer told us find the meaning of peer learning. In my opinion, peer learning is like a group study but the friend among the group give their own opinion or comment about the their friend work and this type of learning is good to improve their own study.
