RACHEAL QUEK LIN SHING U2003296 (TEAM C)

           Good day everyone! I am here glad to share some of my thoughts and feelings after conducting a 2 Days Free Online Seminar as the project for my GIG1005 Social Engagement course. At first, I really do not have much expectations on carrying out this seminar. What I think of is basically I need to complete this project so that I can pass the course.

        However, in my way of preparation, I realised that I am getting more and more interested into it. Ideas kept coming across my mind which I knew that I would not want to treat it as a “project” anymore. I wanted this seminar to be a successful one in the way of giving impacts to the participants and made them feel that it is worthily to join us.

        I am pretty sure that all of my Team C members shared the same thought as me because I can see that everyone was putting their 100% effort in organising this seminar. Although we did face some challenges such as lack of participants and struggling for platform to be used, we still manage to get through it together. Together we had meetings for discussion until late night. Together we tried on different alternatives to make things work. And together we found solutions and overcome it.

        Besides, I am also truly grateful that we had Dr Zalfa’s guidance throughout our journey. Dr really did give us lots of advice on how we can improve for our activity. I did feel that Dr is always trying to stay connected with us and give necessary guidance from time to time. I do appreciate of all her guidance along our way in organising this seminar as I had developed new skills that would definitely be useful in the future.

        At the end of the seminar, we received lots of positive feedback from the participants. This make me feel that it is truly worth it to spend times organising this meaningful seminar. Even a thank you message from them is satisfying enough for me to paid off all the hardships.

        Throughout this journey, I really learnt lots of new skills such as teamwork skills, communication skills and interpersonal skills. This is absolutely the biggest gain I obtained from this social engagement course. By involving in such social-related activities, I understood that contributing to the society could be done in various ways.

         We as a student even though may not afford to pay back the society in a financial way but we can do our part like sharing all the knowledge we had with others. Lastly, I believe that all the things you do today will eventually comes back to you and this is how important to stay connected with the society.


Thank you Dr Zalfa and everyone from group 6! Stay safe and stay connected!

  Hi everyone!           First of all, I'm glad that I make it here. I can't believe that my event is over and it's time to write a reflection about this course. At first, while registering for this course, I thought that GIG 1005 Social engagement is going to be another usual subject that I have to study and do exams for passing this course. However, when I joined the briefing given by Dr. Aidil, my whole mindset has been changed. To be honest, I started to get anxious and question myself whether will things go, right after this? Do I able to complete this course?      However, I feel at ease after meeting my team Rosshinie, Zhao Wei, Amirah, and Sam. This team really changed the way I feel about this course and helped me stay positive throughout the whole preparation for the event and until now. It was very easy to open up my ideas and work with them. They have been always there for me to guide and also support me if I needed any assistance...

       I registered in this GIG1005 Social Engagement course since it is one of the recommended course for this semester and it was mentioned of being the last semester to offer it. I was not sure about what we were required to do in this course at first but right after the first meeting with our supervisor, Dr Zalfa, I managed to get a better understanding on the flow of the course. In group 6 itself, we were divided into smaller groups of five and I was in Team B with my four other teammates (Roketah, Phavinna, Santiya and Jian Jian). Soon, we got along well, even though we have never met before and not long after that we started discussing on the project. We finally decided to conduct a free virtual accounting class for form 5 students.      I was always been an introvert person and rarely participated in group activities that involved organizing events. I was afraid from the thought of being a facilitator during the event as I have only taught one ...

Transformative Journal  Hi and a very good day to to our respective lecturers and my fellow classmates. My name is Phavinna Patmanathan and I'm currently taking  my first degree for Bachelor Of Accounting in University of Malaya. Currently I am in my second semester for this course and I took this Social Engagement course because this is a compulsory course for everyone to graduate from the university and also because my lecturer advised us that 2nd semester is the perfect time to take this course. So, I decided to take this course for this semester so confidently. Before the event  To be honest, I think this course is very interesting and easy because there are lectures to teach us everyday but only have meeting with our beloved lecturer to brief about the course and also give suggestion about the project that we chose. Besides lectures. we also does not have tutorial exercise or practices to finished by the given due date also a thing that loved the most in this course....
