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.

Academic Skill : Activity for Wednesday

     On Thursday, in Academic Skill class we had fun activity by our lecturer. We play a role play game that need us to act like the objects, actions, and the character that we had choose and the person that got more character paper will get prize.

     We start in group of 7 in first session and we were told to describe the object to the group in way that they cannot recognize immediately. The game was fun, and exciting. We can think faster and there so many new word we learn on that day. We also learn about our group character and get to know each other especially for the new student.

Task 1: Academic Skill

Task 1: Reflective practice : Student are required to write an essay about individual creative practice and plagiarism with supporting material. The essay should be 750 words.

     The individual creative practice is something that been made by the individual itself by theirs own skill and idea. this can be seen or approve by their own sketchbook that show their own idea and the original sketching. The individual creative play an important in publishing the idea to others and to interpret the message to the audience and show the process to make some of the artwork. 

    Practice is part of improving and implore the skill and to explore the work that been made. It also help us by creating our own  design and not by taking the original idea from any of other person. I also believe that by practicing our own skill and design we can improve and then explore our own artwork. I also believe by individual creative we can decide which one that we need to improve and explore on our own.

     Plagiarism is same with copying other people work. Copying other people may lead to pure plagiarism and this will create so much problem in other artwork and our own design and skill. Plagiarism will lead to dishonest working skill and if this is happen continuously it will lead to disaster in our life. To avoid plagiarism we must has our own idea and keep it in your safe book like your work diary.

     Copying other people work will not helping to improve your skill and your artwork will not acknowledge by other because you are actually taking other people idea and design. By plagiarizing cannot interpret and elaborate the idea to other people because doesn't know what their doing because they only copying from other people. Duplicating is also known as plagiarism. For example, duplicating any note in the internet, book, magazine, journal or any other material can give credit to the authority to arrest in term of drastic plagiarism.

   In conclusion, the individual creative practice must be in the individual itself to avoid plagiarism in idea, design and artwork. This also help them to improvise, explore,interpret and elaborate teir own artwork to the audience.
