Reminder From Mr Muhammad

First Meeting with our Batch Coordinator, Mr Muhammad Prashmit.

Monday, 8th February 2010

AFFECTIVE DOMAIN

Starting from Tuesday, 9 February 2010, we are requested to wear our Matric card at all time when we are in the class or in the Campus. This is because, according to Mr Muhammad, as well as being one of the college rules, our college will be having a lot of visits from various institutions all over the world, and also the Ministry. Thus we are required to play our part in upholding our College image.

Mr Muhammad informed that many lecturers or Mentors are not satisfied with the performance of their Mentee (us) when it comes to our Affective Domain. We are required to fill in our Mentee file, and other things such as Reflective Diary, Peer Assessment Evaluation and any other things regarding the issue.

When it comes to group, we are also reminded to improve our group dynamics, meaning the range of our marks in groups shouldn’t be too wide with a student getting an A, when others are failing or getting low marks. Help each other and ensure that your group have proper discussion session and also work distribution.

If possible, in any activities that you join, or Affective Domain session in class, bring your log book to ask for the marks or certification that you are joining that activity. Students are losing AD points because they do not do so.

IN CLASS & CAMPUS ISSUE

More about class issue, lecturers are complaining about our attendance and punctuality. Regarding attendance,for those who are absent for 2 days without a reason, they are required to write a letter of reason to Mr Muhammad as he had instructed. As a reminder for punctuality, please be present in the class before the lecturer come in, even for the second session (10.30 am class). Lecturers are quite disappointed with this attitude, when students only come to the class after the lecturers have come.

Mr Muhammad also reminded that if according to him, guys are not allowed to sit in the last row. The can sit at the back, or the middle, but not at the last row.

Some of the lecturers are complaining about our attire. The lecturers have seen some students wearing jeans albeit in black, and some lecturers are complaining about students wearing sport shoes or sneakers.

During end of Block Evaluation Session, when we are given a form to evaluate the class and the lecturers, please fill in the form as it is actually required from the Ministry as a way to evaluate our College performance. A bad evaluation, coming from lack of cooperation from us, will lead to our Degree being not accredited, or whatever the term is.

OTHERS

Behave and watch our attitude. Respect the lecturers and also our peers. No shouting, jeering, or screaming when lecturers or students are giving presentation. There is also a fine line between discussing or asking, and arguing. So, watch our language or tone when we are talking with others, especially our lecturers.

If anyone of us has any complaints, ideas, or anything, you are encouraged to meet with your Mentor to discuss it, or you can even meet with Mr Muhammad personally. The best way I think is, for you to report anything to your group leader and let them be your/our medium of communication.

Lastly, Microb Perception, compile per group and send it to Mr Muhammad by Monday, 15 February 2010. Please note that all of these are from the meeting and I am only conveying the information to all of us.

Thank you

:)

Medical Microbiology

Salam everyone and hope you have a pleasant time ahead.

Its been such a long time since this blog was last updated. Even the supposed owner of the blog seems to be forgetting about it, but it is understandable due to the hectic schedule that we have for some time. Since the last update, many things have passed, we have the sport's carnival, and is now in our third weeks of Medical Microbiology block.

Recently, it is a good thing that the student is becoming more and more aware of the purpose of having a batch email for information sharing. However, it seems that some of the student or most of them do not follow the proper etiquette and manner when using our batch email.

From now on, please, for those who wants to share anything, an info, a video, or reply to a certain lecture or any given post, please do so by stating your name. If you think that you are doing a good thing, the right thing, than I think there will be no problem for you to state your God given identity.

People are complaining left and right, and even the lecture too, about this certain kind of attitude, which, as it seems, something that our batch is famous for. Our attitude. So please, after this, any email without proper identification will be deleted. You have been warned.

As the Malay saying goes, baling batu sembunyi tangan, dont do this as this is such a cowardly act. Hope we can all coperate for the benefit of our batch.

Thank you.
