Building Services 2

This module is more complex that we learn about the inner components of the services in a building. Throughout the whole module, I get to know how the services that we use in daily life actually operate.   

By going to the site visit, we managed to search for the building services’ components by ourselves. This is beneficial to us as we see the real thing rather than the pictures in the notes. During the site visit, we jot down the problems found in the building and had a few discussions among ourselves. The lecturer as well very helpful and follow up our progress during tutorials. He solves our curiosity whenever we show him the components that we are unsure with. As for our presentation, we have to make improvement by simplifying our slides as our presentation time is over the limiting time frame given.

Besides, by doing the tutorial questions, it helps me to understand the lectures better. The lecturer also explains in more detail during the tutorial. In a nutshell, I learnt new things in this module that are useful in future working life.

Construction Technology 3

This subject has covered topics that are related to construction industry. Although we have not exposed to construction in real life yet, but from the notes, we get to know which methods, system, what type of materials needs or equipment that are suitable to use in certain situation. This information will be useful to us when we start working in the industry in the near future.

Similar to CT2, we have to complete 20 sketches for the individual assignments. Since I enjoyed sketching, I actually finished the 20 sketches earlier so that it doesn’t cause burden to me after that. Group assignment, on the other hand goes smoothly which we have chosen ‘Green Building’ as our research topic. By doing research, I get extra knowledge other than the notes. After having discussion, we prefer the traditional method of doing a paper report instead of producing a video as we are not familiar with editing video. At last, we managed to produce a report which everyone contributed in it. From there, I see the power of team as the most important factor that leads to a smooth process of producing the final product.

Lastly, I personally think that Mr Chiew is a very good lecturer. He explains everything clearly to us and sometimes he would draw diagrams on the whiteboard. He also did revision with us to make us understand better. Also, he is responsible to attend class punctually every time and never once he is late for our class. Sometimes, during his class in the afternoon, he also makes jokes to let us stay awake. Listening to him in the class every time is like listening to my grandfather that I told my friends about this.

Management Science

From my point of view, this subject is mainly about ‘Management’. A person must know to ‘manage’ sources in order to control them. It as well gives us information about the skills which a boss must possess and it might be helpful for us in the future. There is one sentence that keep on rolling in my mind is ‘problems=opportunities’ which means every problems we face we can actually turn it into opportunities to success. This ‘equation’ somehow has changed my perception towards every problem I face. I am now taking every difficulty I face in real life as a new challenge for me.

Other than that, from this module, I also learn analytical skills. I believe that in the future working life I will need to analyze the business problems face by myself in order to make a correct decision.

For the group assignment, we managed to relate and use the theories we learnt in class to the business company we created. We had few times of group discussions and I realize that the opinions from everyone are important. We extract the opinions and take the best ideas out of all. Throughout the process, it makes me realize the importance of communication when working together in a group. During the presentation day, I believe everyone in my group had done our best in presenting our ideas where it tests on our communication skill.

Lastly, I personally think that lectures delivered by Mr Leong somehow are an effective teaching to me. He usually gives us real life story in every lecture that helps us understand better and I can actually relate it back to the theories we learn.

Measurement 3

The syllabus is actually not hard if we understand it. Throughout the module, Mr Soon tries his best to explain everything in detail. He is a very good lecturer for me instead. He is friendly to students and whenever we showed our ‘blur face’ he will eventually explain the certain part again until we fully understand it.

In the group assignment, we managed to measure the doors and windows by ourselves. We also learn to be more systematic when jotting down the measurements of different items and arranging the pictures. For me, team work is the most important thing we gained. We distributed parts evenly and helping out each other to check answers in order to produce an accurate dimension. Mr Soon has as well helped us in our assignments when we asked questions about it.

The tutorials questions help me a lot as I learn to solve different questions. For me, the only way to improve my result is to do more exercises as practice makes perfect. There is no shortcut given to success.
