Individual Assignment IMD312 ( Reflective Writing )
For this assignment, I was task from my
lecturer to do an essay that based on my personal experience based on what did
I learn on this subject that is References and Information Services for
Information Agencies and the code subject is IMD312. For my personal experience
on studying this subject the lecturer that teach me this subject that is Mdm
Nurfaizah Kamarudin. The first time that she teach me was in semester 3. Hands
down, she is one of my favourite lecturer. The reason why is because she always
try to make the classroom atmosphere fun even though the class is in online.
Although, I never made her in real life, but the she interact with all of her
student is like she have know her student a long time ago. During her lecture,
she always interact with student by doing jokes and sometimes talk about
herself. This really makes most of the student feel comfortable with her during
and after her lecturer. On her effort to make her student to understand the
subject, she makes some quiz via kahoot and quizizz. By doing this, it makes
the subject to be more fun and can easily to be understand for the student.
As we all know, the majority of UiTM student in
Malaysia right is learning via online. That is ODL or know as Online Distance
Learning. I am lucky enough to join the class with good internet connection and
also a laptop that I can use perfectly to finish my assignment. What can I say
for this ODL is always be patience. I am a very slow learner. With this ODL at
first I have doubts about myself can I succeed with this but the support of my
friends, family and also lecturer always make me motivated to moved forward.
Within the 14 weeks, I learn every end of every class I always refer back what I
learn on the class. Sometimes I screen record the class. I can be easier for me
to do revise on what I learn on that day. If I don’t fully understand on that
class, I can always refer to my friend and sometimes my lecturer just to give
me brief explanation of the class.
For the first and second weeks for References and
Information Services for Information Agencies and the code subject is IMD312,
the lecturer cover the first chapter that is Introduction to References and
Information Services. On this topic, I have learn that it have many type of
varieties, history, and electronic services. It make me more easier to
understand it when Mdm Nurfaizah Kamarudin teach me. She explain everything
very clear and easy to understand. To conclude what I
learned from the first and the second week is direct personal assistance,
directories, signage, interchange of information gathered from reference
sources, reader's advisory service, publication of information in anticipation
of users' need or interest, and access to electronic information are all
examples of library information services.
For IMD312, our class is every Wednesday from 2pm till 5pm. For this
subject, overall it is easy to understand subject but you need to be focus
during the lecture. During the class, Mdm Nurfaizah always ask for her students
response because she don’t want one of their student left out on anything on
what she teach during the class. For me, her class is very fun because I can casually
interact with her with the sense of fear. This is because the environment that
she create with class makes us as student feel comfortable during her session. During
her class, student will always ask something that there are not sure of and Mdm
Nurfaizah will explain it more details and make her student to understand. One
of my favourite topic on this subject is topic 11 that is Search Strategy. In
this topic, in is focus on the process of finding answer to reference queries
in the fastest and most efficient way. It is also include defining the
information need, and determining the form in which it is needed, if it exist,
where it is located, how it is organized and how to retrieve it. This topic
make me more understand on what is the correct strategy on the search process.
By the help of this, It can be useful for me in the future.
In conclusion, studying this subject is overall is fun to me. Of
course the main reason is the lecturer that Mdm Nurfaizah Kamarudin. Besides
that, the topics that I learn. With this I can learn in depth on Information
services and its types that available to use. Overall I really hope I can do
better not just this subject but all of the subject that I learn this semester
because this is my final semester and I really want to make everyone around me proud
on what I have become during my diploma at UiTM Kampus Semarahan Kampus 1.
