2. What have you done ?

For our very first class, our teacher did an ice-breaking session for all of us to get to know each other better by introducing our names in Korean language. We were presented with PowerPoint slides containing a few incomplete Korean sentences in which we were then needed to fill in those blanks with our own names by reading the whole of it out loud.

We then moved onto the very basic Korean 24 alphabet letters, the Hangul. It consists of vowels and consonants, just like English. I learnt the idea that in writing Korean sentences correctly, they were written from top to bottom, instead of the regular left-to-right direction owing to the window-box rules.

Finishing through the Hangul, we then proceed to learn the Batchim rules, also known as the ‘third letter’ rules. As the name implies, the Batchim is the last (third) consonant letter that is placed in every sentence to finish it with special pronunciation properties to be applied. Again, the Batchim has its own rules that must be met if present in a word.

3. Key points from week 1

-Have to remember all Korean alphabets and how to pronounce them during conversation

-Have to master the very foundation on how to bridge Hangul alphabet letters to another with respect to Batchim letters and applying pronunciation rules.

4. Your thoughts and feelings

The rewards, the feelings once to be able to understand a whole-new, third language are great even though I am still on level 1. I can start embracing the art of the language, how the grammar works and the outcome it yields when speaking. It keeps motivating me to learn and discover more and more in depth.

5. One good thing from what I did for future practice

Every moment, every time the teacher will always remind us students to never stop revising learning materials from the class during our leisure time. “Practice makes perfect”, so practicing to converse in Korean over and over is good to ensure that I can memorize what I have learnt throughout the first lesson and to not forget it over time.

6. Any difficulties / concerns

Honestly, it was quite hard to grasp the lesson in one-go during the first class. But, as time goes by, by revising one can possibly comprehend the idea behind it slowly. Keep sticking to the grammar book and there will be a breakthrough to it.

7. 2 words to describe elective posting so far

Challenging, interesting

8. Plan for week 2

Will surely pay more attention and listen to every inch of details during the teaching regarding the grammar and pronunciation by the teacher.

2. What have you done?
For the first week, I’ve started the Hubspot Social Media Marketing course online. I have prepared the notes given to us before the lecture video. Then, I started my course with the introduction of the course. Basically it told us what are we learning for this course and the scopes that they will be covering. Next, is Developing a social media strategy which they teach us about several applications are currently used by most companies in advertising their products, including the pros and cons of using them. We are also been taught how to choose the perfect social media tool for our products. Lastly for week 1, I’ve also attended the topic of Social Media listening and monitoring. In this topic, we learnt  how to analyse customers’ feedback through social media. This is where we learnt how to fully used social media as the platform for listen to our customers.

3. Points to remember from week 1?
- How to build my social media strategy
- Different areas of social media and their usage
- How to set the right KPI (Key Peformance Index)
- Difference between social monitoring and social listening and how can they help to improve your sales

4. Your feelings & thoughts
I’m so invested in this course as it really opened my eyes in the marketing field using social media as social media is easily accessible around us. This makes me able to relate this course with the social media i used easily.

5. 1 good thing from what you did that you can practice now?
Analysing how different social media have their own main function in advertising.

6. Any difficulties/concerns? How did you cope?
So far so good. I slowly find this topic quite challenging but at the same time interesting. Will have to refer more articles to fully understand about the marketing terminology.

7. 2 words to describe elective posting progress so far
Interesting and challenging

8. Your plan for next week (Week 2)
Basically i will continue the course and proceed to the further topic as scheduled.

2. What have you done?
- For the first week, I started an udemy course on basic programming that focuses less on broad technicalities, but more on the things that would benefit an average person that utilises a computer. The platform used here is Python. The course begins with a run down of the functions of the platform itself, and then the terminologies that we need to familirise with. The lecture showed us how to build a simple program, and I had to replicate it. Then, the lectures get into proceedingly complex concepts that goes into a program, each with examples. This is basically what goes into my first week, which is the trial and error of adapting with the basics.

3. Points to remember in week 1
- To learn basics terminologies and how to work with python
- Understand how flow charts help as a visualization on how the algorithm of a program work and the flow controls.

4. Your thoughts and feelings
- I came into this very unaware of how things work, so I was definitely ready to learn. Getting used to the platform was easy, and so was building simple programs. But as the lectures went into deeper stuff, I do need more time to process the knowldge and I can feel a bit overwhelmed. But overall, I think this is a good start.

5. One good thing that I can practice now
- Not really much aside from writing simple instructions. I haven't yet managed to make this into something usable

6. Any difficulties/concerns
- So far, every seem managable. My concern is I might not understand much when it comes into the more complex things and I do have to supplement with other contents to help me understand better.

7. 2 words tod describe elective posting so far
- Interesting, challenging

8. Plan for week 2
- I plan to proceed into the next batch of lectures/contents and practice them as needed.

2. What have you done?
For the first week, I went through my course materials first and identified the main developing websites I'll be using.For my course, I will be using Unity and Photoshop hence before starting the lectures for the week I downloaded these websites and explored their options to make myself more familiar. Once this was done, I proceeded to view the lectures for this week which covered the basic concept of colors, usage of photoshop, and how to create a pixel treasure chest in photoshop for a pirate-themed pixel game. Furthermore, I was assigned to create a barrel based on the lessons as this week's test.

3. Points to remember from week 1!
- Terms in the pixel art design such as asset, pack
- How to navigate photoshop and measurements for a pixel art
- Ensure a proper color scheme is decided and make sure color is suitable to the concept

4. Your feelings & thoughts
I was very excited when I looked at the course structure and watching the lectures while practicing the steps in designing the pixel art was interesting. I got to finally see how a character is brought to life and how much effort is put to bring out intricate details in a pixel character. As much as I was excited, it was equally overwhelming as well since this was the first time I had ventured into design and the number of options available in Photoshop and Unity but due to Coursera providing a step tp step guide it was fairly easy to navigate my way through after some clicking around.

5. 1 good thing from what you did that you can practice now!

Creating my own pixel characters which can be used as stickers as well

6. Any difficulties/concerns? How did you cope?

It was difficult to come up with my own barrel design for the assignment. It was fairly easy to just follow their steps but when I have to come up with my own design and color scheme, it became a little nerve-wracking. I researched a little on the internet on how barrels look in other games and used them as an inspiration. After a few sketches,I managed to come up with a design that I really liked.

7. 2 words to describe elective posting progress so far
Exciting, Overwhelming

8. Your plan for next week (Week 2)

For Week 2, I have planned to attend lectures that have been scheduled and learn how to create pixel backgrounds for a video game.

WHAT HAVE I DONE?
Since I am focusing on creating website, I try to understand what coding is and what kind of coding languages that can aid me in achieving my objectives. To do so, I looked through credible sources such as Codecademy, Udemy, Khan academies, and YouTube videos to truly understand these languages.

I've decided to primarily use Codecademy because the syllabus is more well-structured and simple to understand. This week has taught me that there are three languages needed to create dynamic and functional websites: HTML as the foundation, CSS for style, and JavaScript for functionality.

I've been using Notion to keep track of my own performance including keeping all the notes that I have taken for this one week.

KEY POINTS FROM WEEK 1

1. To recognize the anatomy of HTML including understanding several basic HTML elements needed in creating a website.

2. To understand the concept of elements used to create a table, form and form validation in a website.

3. Several elements for non-semantic HTML are not as fluid and practical as for semantic HTML.

FEELINGS & THOUGHTS
It's fascinating to me to be able to recognize coding now, as opposed to when I first started. I am looking at the website from a new perspective. However, to be honest, I understand what I have learned but to put that knowledge into practice may be a little bit tough for me at the moment since it is only the first week.

I believed that perseverance is required, as is the willingness to accept all challenges as a new learning opportunity.

ONE GOOD THING FROM WHAT I DID FOR FUTURE PRACTICE
As of now, there is not much knowledge I can utilize that able to help me in the future but I'm looking forward to the next three weeks.

ANY DIFFICULTIES/ CONCERNS? HOW DID I COPE?
It is unquestionably difficult to remember new coding elements. I'm sure I won't be able to recall everything by heart by the end of the project, but I'll do my best to keep track of everything by taking my own notes.

TWO WORDS TO DESCRIBE CURRENT PROGRESS
Challenging and refreshing.

PLAN FOR WEEK 2
Do more exercises related to HTML and may have a look at CSS.

2. What have you done?

On the first week of my elective posting, I did research to gain more understanding about Scratch programming. I understood that Scratch is very suitable for beginners to learn about programming concepts. We can use Scratch to create interactive stories, games, arts, stimulation and more. I also attended online Lecture 1: Sprites and 2: Scratch Function that helped me to have ideas on Scratch. Besides, I completed project 1 and 2.

3. Points to remember from week 1!

-Specific terms are used in Scratch programming, character in the program is known as “sprite” , the screen is known as “stage”.

-We can determine what we want the sprites to do such as the direction, location, costume, sound and their action.

-To determine the location of sprite, look at the (x,y) coordinate.

-Function is defined as some blocks that are able to perform some task.

-Script is the combination of (stacks of) blocks. It runs from top to the bottom.

4. Your feelings & thoughts

-I was super excited as I got to learn new things. I also need some time to understand and explore the Scratch website as I was completely new to it. Anyway, it felt super great to finally step out from my comfort zone and learn something that was completely new to me!

5. 1 good thing from what you did that you can practice now!

Keep learning and give myself more time to handle this skill. Be patience.

6. Any difficulties/concerns? How did you cope?

The pace of the lectures given were quite fast and I don’t really understand in the first time. However, I managed to cope it by repeat watching the videos and jotting down notes.

7. 2 words to describe elective posting progress so far

Eye-opening, overwhelmed

8. Your plan for next week (Week 2)

Next week, I will be attending lectures 3 & 4 and trying to finish the projects given after every lecture.

Week : 1 (1/7/2021-7/7/2021)

1. What have I done?

On the first week of my elective posting, I managed to gain knowledge on the introduction of intellectual property. The very first session was conducted via Zoom, which happened to be the most feasible way amidst of the Covid-19 pandemic. I have got to meet and greet some experts too throughout the sessions. Indeed, previously I have always been wondering on how ideas and inventions are being protected or secured from being stolen by other parties. After joining the sessions on week 1, I have obtained some fundamental ideas and answers. This can be done by securing one or more of the four different types of intellectual property (IP) protection/rights. Intellectual property rights are exclusionary rights given to authors, inventors, and businesses for their literary and artistic works of authorship, useful and ornamental inventions, and valuable information. This consists of patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets. All of these functions differently, which I will be venturing deeper on upcoming weeks of lesson. Despite having a final exam during that week, I managed to squeeze in and worked on the presentation assigned by my supervisor.

2. Points to remember :

There are 4 types of intellectual property rights to protect ideas and inventions : Patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets

The importance of intellectual property rights : Preventing others from the unauthorised use of the invention or creation in sake of earn benefits from the creation

3. My feelings and thoughts :

It was very exhilarating to be able to learn new things apart from medical related courses. I was overwhelmed to have learnt that even the smallest creation and idea can be protected by law from being stolen.

4. One good thing from what I did that I can practice now :

Since the first week of this posting was all about the introduction and presentation, I managed to learn pretty much on the surface as a whole, in which I can share with my friends especially those who run businesses. I managed to brush up my presentation skills too.

5. Difficulties/ Concerns? And how did I cope?
As of now, there is not much of concerns, except
that it is a new thing for me and all sessions are done via online platform in
which I think it limits the exposure gained compared to phycisally attend the
company see how they run.

6. Two words to describe Elective Posting so far

Exhilarating, eye-opening

7. My plan for next week (Week 2):

Next week, I will be venturing deeper on the first two of the IP rights, which are patents and trademarks. After the sharing session by my supervisor, I will then do some readings on the topics and come up with presentation.

1. What have I done?
On the first week of my elective posting, I have managed to do
quizzes on LinkedIn about Microsoft Excel to test myself my knowledge on Excel prior to the learning. Despite that we were still having our exams that week, I managed to squeeze in some time to do the quick quizzes. The results from the quiz was bad and I was not shocked about it as I only know the basic of Excel prior to the learning. Before this, I only know how to basically key in data and make some pie charts and bar graphs, all the simple stuff, so I was not shocked at all to see my results for the quiz was a total haywire.

I also managed to start a bit of learning from the free courses on Excel that are provided by LinkedIn on my first week.

2. Points to remember from week 1
- There are many functions in the Excel and not just to be used as a platform to key in data
- We can also do math calculations in Microsoft Excel
- It is much easier to generate huge data with the help of Microsoft Excel when you utilize the tools well

3. My feelings and thoughts
I was overwhelmed with the tools in Microsoft Excel. There are so many useful tools and i realized that most of us did not utilize it well and did not really understand the functions of it. I was sad honestly seeing my LinkedIn quiz results on Microsoft Excel was that bad. However, by doing the quiz prior, I can only know now what am I lacking and what did I not know and also I can know what to expect during the courses later.

4. 1 good thing from what I did that I an practice now
I would say, it's a good step of mine to do the assessment prior the learning so I can know my weaknesses and strength. And this can be applied during my clinical classes later as well.

5. Difficulties/ Concerns? And how did I cope?
I don't think there's much of concerns or difficulties for now. Except that it is a new thing for me as the last time I studied or practiced applying and generating data was back then when I was in high school. I personally think that I just face through it and excited to learn and be better in this aspect.

6. 2 words to describe Elective Posting so far
Exciting and eye-opening

7. My plan for next week (Week 2)
I am planning to continue with the free courses on Microsoft Excel on LinkedIn and start my paid course on Microsoft Excel Coursera. Along the way, I am planning to start doing tables and math calculations on Microsoft Excel.

Week: 01 (1.7.2021)

What have I done ?

In the first week, I learned the knowledge basics of Augmented Reality, a program interactive experience of a real-world environment where the objects that reside in the real world are enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information, sometimes across multiple sensory modalities, including visual, auditory, haptic, somatosensory and olfactory. Under the umbrella term extended reality (XR), AR differs from virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR).In AR, it designs for digital elements to appear over real-world views, sometimes with limited interactivity between them, often via smartphones like Nintendo's Pokémon Go App, L'Oréal Makeup App, and others. In VR it designs immersive experiences that isolate users from the real world, typically via headset devices. Examples include PSVR for gaming, Oculus, and Google Cardboard, where users can explore, e.g., Stonehenge using headset-mounted smartphones. Lastly, MR is designed to combine AR and VR elements so digital objects can interact with the real world; therefore, you design elements that are anchored to a real environment. Examples include Magic Leap and HoloLens, which users can use, e.g., to learn more directly how to fix items. Also in the first week, I initiate an action by set up and ready to dive into the course, including downloading and setting up the required tools to complete the course.

Points to remember!

Under the umbrella term extended reality (XR), AR differs from virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR). So under my context of a project, augment is to make something greater in size or value. In Augmented Reality, reality is augmented by adding digital elements like filters (when taking photos) and game characters (like in Pokemon Go). In simple words, AR is a combination of real and virtual worlds captured with the camera (lens).

My feelings & my thoughts.

I am so excited when I started learning something about technology since it is completely a new thing for me and very different for me. I would never be interested in learning technology but EP has pushed me to learn a piece of new knowledge. I hope that when I finish this course I would be able to develop my filter that can be as personal and others use.

One thing from what I did that I can practice.

Keep learning and get the theory part first and start applying it.

Any difficulties/concerns? How am I coping with them?

One problem that I had during this elective posting is laptop speed. Since the laptop is old and worn out it is just slow. So what I did was patiently wait and carry out an initiative to use multiple devices. It takes more time, but I manage to do my elective posting.

Two words to describe elective posting progress so far.

Excited, Delight

My plan for next week (Week 02).

Next week, I will start by going through the basics such as the Lens Studio dashboard, lens vs. filter, and an overview of built-in templates in this course.

2. What have you done?
At first, my friend and I contacted our supervisor and luckily she agreed to be our facilitator and she was so kind to help monitor our progress and answer our questions. To ensure that I prepare well before the virtual lab attachment, I read through the guide book on laboratory services in HUKM and watched videos regarding staining techniques of peripheral blood film on YouTube. Next, my friend and I jotted down the important details and those that we did not understand. Then, we discussed among ourselves and asked our mutual friend who was currently studying biomedical science. Our supervisor also helped us a lot as she listed down some useful websites that she recommended.

3. Points to remember from week 1!
-There are many different tests done in the haematological lab and the results of those routine blood tests can be obtained faster
-Blood samples that are taken from the patients should be sent as soon as possible to the lab to avoid haemolysis

4. Your feelings & thoughts
I am excited to finally get a chance to know more about the laboratory and I think I still have a long way to go to fully understand its operation and the tests done.

5. 1 good thing from what you did that you can practice now!
I will be more careful in handling the blood specimens taken from the patients in the future to ensure no delay in obtaining the results.

6. Any difficulties/concerns? How did you cope?
My friend and I were disappointed as we were not allowed to enter the lab after the the latest announcement of Movement Control Order (MCO). Besides, I could not understand some specific terms when watching the videos. Luckily, I was very grateful that our supervisor was so patient in explaining to us in our WhatsApp group.

2.What have you done?
Initially, i was excited about the elective posting as this is one of the opportunities that I can explore myself in other fields other than medical.In the wards always wonder how the results of the patients get after the doctors send the samples to the labs this brings me to one of the professor in the haematological lab.I request her to become supervisor of my friend and I. At first, I was quite worried that she might reject us as online teaching about haematological lab is difficult. Fortunately, she offered us online teaching with few other lecturers as well. To gain a fruitful experience in this posting, of course, I need to prepare well. So, my friend and I search for some guidelines and videos through google  to  gain some insights .We discussed and asked questions to the supervisor through the Microsoft team.

3.Points to remember from week 1.
-The roles of the assistant lab in the haematological lab as they are crucially needed in the hospital to guide doctors for diagnosis.
-Procedures of blood taking need to be careful and with full attention to avoid any unnecessary mistakes that might cause harm to the patient.

4.Your feelings & thoughts
I feel curious and confused about the tests in the haematological lab This is because all the machines and theories are quite different from medical.However, after being guided by some of the lecturers I start to feel interesting in this field as well. The most important is it lets me know how important the role of lab assistant is.

5. 1 good thing from what you did that you can practice now!

After understanding the importance of haematological lab, I will start to show more respect and learn more from people of other fields as they are vital too in maintaining the health of the patient.

6.Any difficulties/concerns? How did you cope?
One of the difficulties that I am facing was the ability to understand the concept of each test.I try to understand it by watching video and asking my supervisor.Next ,undeniably will be the covid-19 pandemic.At first my friend and I decided to physically attach to the haematological lab, however due to a sudden surge of covid-19 cases, we were unable to do so.Hence, we felt disappointed as face- to- face is always far more advantageous compare to online learning.

7. 2 words to describe elective progress so far
Rewarding and Glad

8.Your plan for next week (Week 2)
Learn more theory for each test and the procedures to progress the tests.
