She gave me quite an impression though. So cheerful and loud. :D And asked us who knew about her from the seniors. And Megat put up his hand. He said that Dr is a fun lecturer and we won't get bored in her class. I didn't turned to see his face when he was speaking but Dr said that he said it with an unsure face. LOL. I bet he is uncertain too. Haha. x'D
Then, the lesson starts. It's not quite a lesson actually. She asked us what do we know about Microbiology and what do we want to know about Microbiology. Although she asked us that, we didn't answer the questions by 'speaking' though. We were told to open this one website she gave us, using our gadgets and eventually answer our thoughts there. It was quite cool. But I had to make a mental note to myself that I have to make sure my phone's battery is full whenever I'm going to have a Microbiology class. LOL. Seriously okay. Haha.
And... 'luckily' enough for me, I was asked in class today. She called out my name randomly. 'Dayana Ishak'. But fortunately too for me, she asked me a question that I can answer despite my minimal knowledge of Microbiology x'D She asked me what's an example of a fungi and I actually answered "Mushrooms" with an unsure voice. Because I really am unsure! How can the other students know the names of the microorganisms she mentioned while I don't. I'll have to read more... That's for sure. Oh one more thing, I wonder why do Dr keep calling out my name. Hahaha. During the orientation week, she asked the whole class what is the name of our faculty in English. And my name was called though I failed to answer the right answer to her question that day. And this was the second time she called my name, again, randomly. Is my name really that memorable? x'D
And lastly, she gave us an assignment. We have to make a video of ourself in order for her to know us all. A video maximum of 2 minutes and minimum of 1 minute. Introduce ourself in the video. This is going to be interesting..... x'D
Enough about my personal non-related to Microbiology lesson thoughts, hahaha. Now I'm going to tell you what I learnt today in class but for the first class, we didn't learn much. I learnt that microbiology does not only consists of the infamous protozoa only since protozoan especially amoeba is actually 6 types of microbes which are bacteria, fungi, protozoa, algae, virus and archaea. And Dr showed some of the examples for each microbes such as E.Coli. And Dr said that, next time, everytime we entered the class for Microbiology. "Think that you're in a microbial world". I don't quite understand with that statement actually hehe. Does that mean that I have to imagine or feel like I am surrounded with microbes all around me? Aware of their presences? Is it? Today's lesson was more to an introduction of Microbiology. And I honestly felt unsure of taking this course since I don't really know what are the microbes that Dr mentioned unlike the other students. I guess that's my cue to start exploring and reading more about microbes to stay "parallel" with my classmates cum coursemates knowledges. And lastly, what I am most frustrated about with today's lesson is the fact that I do not know most of the microbes that Dr mentioned! Which trigger something inside of me to know more and do some Google-ing about all the microbes that Dr mentioned but unfortunately, not for today's class because not even one of the microbes that Dr mentioned, that I could spell their names hence I couldn't wrote them down on my notes because I didn't hear them clearly and also I seldom heard the microbes name. I will make sure I will be more knowledgeable about microbes in the next class, and even more in the future! :D
