Class assignments
We are needed to do 2 essays as our class assignments. The aim of the class assignments is to demonstrate how we became absorbed in our work and solved the problem of staying sensitive. It is also to help us discover our own observation style and biases. For example, in first class assignment, write one essay about one vegetable, we learned to observe object and try to think of adjectives to describe the object. While in second class assignment, write an essay to compare or contrast between two movies. It able us to clarify assignments' skill-building components.
First class assignment : essay of chilli
Second class assignment : compare or contrast of movies
Musical movies: The Sound of Music and Pitch Perfect.
Lastly, we also had a class debate. I grouped with Lai Min Hui to debate for the question of is Philippines a good neighbor. We had a small discussion before the debate session starts. It is a good class activity for me as it can train myself by speak confidently. Besides, I got some new information after searching the point for this assignment.
After going through all this class assignments, I think I need to be more active in class. I also need to read more to get the general knowledge and update myself. I know reading is important.
The research proposal
This is a group assignment which required students to form a group of 3 or 4 members. We are needed to focus study on at least three examples of the same type of trade for our research. The trade of our group is rattan trade. This assignment demonstrate our ability to prepare questionnaires and interviews to obtain information about the topic. Thus, it helps us in communicating the relevant ideas and analysis in clear, logical and appropriate academic English. Last but not least, we are ale to identify the key issues in the question and explain them clearly and logically.
Hereby our group research proposal.
After that we are needed to do a video presentation which asked us to have a lecture for students about the heritage value in Malaysian Studies class. In this video, my group mates and I acted as lecturers. Throughout this assignment, I need to improve in presenting the findings of research in a formal presentation. I also have to be able in preparing questionnaires in academic English form.
