 Salam Sejahtera

I'm from School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Engineering Campus, University Sains Malaysia

I'm been teaching electrical engineering subjects for 13 years now and just joining USM in last September 2016. My specialities are in areas of high voltage engineering and electrical equipment monitoring. 

I love to teach and help my students learn. I believe in their infinite potential to learn and grow as individuals. My students are my top priority. I try to convey this to them in my methods of teaching and the time I devote to teaching.

 By participate in this P&P course, I hope I can learn more on teaching methodologies and improve my skills.

Nak tambah ilmu P&P kena belajar,

Penceramah yang kaya ilmu tolong kongsikan.

From the P&P, I hope I can learn some new skills to make my class more interesting and effective.

I teach Medicinal Chemistry courses and research on design and discovery of novel therapeutic drugs.

As an academic and a researcher, I aspired to train more medicinal chemists with the hope that one day, we Malaysian will be able to come up with our own blockbuster drug.

With the evolution of teaching and learning approaches in conjunction with the rise of digital era, I hope to be exposed with up-to-date and highly effective resources and techniques in teaching and learning, that can be translated to the benefits for both teachers and learners.

My area of specialization is Complex Analysis and Univalent Function Theory. My first course I taught in PPSM is Analysis.

I have great passion in teaching. I strongly believe the bright future of our country and a stable society greatly depend on our younger generation. That being said, as an academic in USM  I would like to be a part in shaping, nurturing and guiding them into the right path.

From the P&P course, I hope to acquire more skills and further enhance myself in one of the noble profession-teaching.

 

Hi all, I’m Norsyahida Arifin, currently attached at INFORMM, USM. My expertise is in diagnostics, with an interest in parasitic diseases. I joined USM in April last year, so as a new lecturer, I really hope that from this PnP course I can learn as much as possible the right attitude and method of teaching from the experts. 

I am passionate in what I’m doing now, thinking that I have chosen the right path for myself. I hope that one day I’m able to contribute back to the society in both ways (research and teaching). 

Salam and hello everyone! I am Nadiah from School of Communication. My area of specialization is in Persuasive Communication. My research interest includes consumer psychology and representation of self in consumption. However to be frank, I am still exploring areas :)

I aspire to be an academician who will be able to guide younger minds to be more holistic and strive to be the best in order to help others. For me, it is very important to instill a sense of responsibility in students, this world needs so much more compassion. 

I hope to learn new ways to engage students in learning, and hopefully train myself to be a better educator too. 
 

Thank you and see you on Monday!

 

I teach design studio for landscape architecture and planning. Apart from studios I also involve in delivering lectures, among the subjects are urban design, conservation and sustainable development planning. My research interest is focusing on the sustainable development in terms of environment, city planning, cultural practice and socio-economic within Malaysian context. 

 

My ambition is to educate and inspire younger generation to become a creative person in solving their problems and overcome their challenge. I hope to acquire some useful knowledge and skills in teaching and learning as a way to equip myself, as well as gain some insight on the current trend in tertiary education. Thank you all for reading. 

My name is Nadhrah and I’m teaching Public Administration at the School of Social Sciences. I’m an avid cyclist and advocate for sustainable and active transportation such as cycling and walking. My research interests revolve around public participation, sustainable and green policy, and active transportation policy. My current research is looking at the interactions between Penang state government and the cycling community in making Penang as a bicycle-friendly state in Malaysia. 

Being an academic in USM, I aspire to help students, government and people at large to understand  their roles in a democratic country. Beyond that, as an academic, it is also important to engage with the society. I’m glad to be part of the cycling community in Penang and I hope to use my expertise in assisting both the state government and cycling community in materializing their goal to be the first cycling state in Malaysia. 

I hope to learn new things during P&P course and translate them in my teaching and research.

I’m Radin Firdaus from the School of Social Sciences. I teach Development Economics, and Theory and Issues of Development. My area of research includes food security, agricultural development and policy, climate change adaptation and measures and sustainable development.

 

My aspiration as an academic is to make learning more interactive & fun. 

 

From this P&P I hope I could learn some teaching techniques on how to make my lecture more interactive and fun.

A-Affiliated with School of 
     Industrial Technology  
     (Food Tech Division) since 
     Jan 2016.

Y- Yearn of becoming an 
     academic that capable of 
     advancing knowledge and 
     transforming one’s 
     educational experience.

A-Area of specialization for 
     both teaching and 
     research is Food 
     Packaging.

     A question to all: Would it 
     be possible to live without 
     packaging?

T-Target from this P&P 
    course: 
     i) to improve my teaching 
        approach.

     ii) to gain different insight 
         about teaching and  
         learning.

  I-‘I hold that while man
     exists, it is his duty to
     improve not only his own
     condition, but to assist in
     ameliorating mankind.’-

     one of my fav quotes. As 
     an educator, my aim is to 
     disseminate knowledge to 
      the best that I could. I 
      believe knowledge is no    
      one’s possession and it is 
      for sharing. An ounce of 
      knowledge may have not 
      been perceived as much, 
      but it sure will make a 
      long lasting impact on 
      one’s life.

Thank you and see you all on Monday!

I am working on energy related research, specifically dealing with combustion & fuel engineering, biofuels and Internal Combustion Engines. 

I currently hold the position as Senior Lecturer and the subjects that I have taught thus far are: EMH 211- Thermodynamics, EMD 101- Engineering Drawing, EML 211- Engineering Laboratory 1, EMD 452- Final Year Projects (3 students have been successfully graduated), EMD 112- Conceptual Design & CAD, EME 432- Internal Combustion Engines, EML 342- Engineering Laboratory III and SHE 101- Ethnic Relations. Meanwhile, I also serve as principal investigator for USM short-term research grant with the title of Investigations of a Common Rail Direct Injection Diesel Engine Using Biofuels in Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI) Mode. 

My aspiration as an academic in USM is to be a great educator as well as a great researcher.

It is undeniable that for young educator like us, we have been involved and excelled in conducting research within our area of expertise during our PhD study. At the same time, I think we are indeed lack of teaching experience and, especially, engage with those of millennials. Therefore, I hope that the facilitators for this P&P course (or perhaps other P&P course mate) could enlighten and share with us a more structured yet effective teaching skill during this forthcoming P&P course.
Thank you for reading all these and see you on Monday.

I hope that I am able to contribute as a fellow academician and educator of USM to generate critical thinkers and high-quality researchers of the next generation.

I hope to learn the correct (as well as creative and innovative) teaching and learning techniques that can be applied in my teaching activities. Most importantly, I want to learn how my knowledge can be channeled to the students in the most effective manner. Besides that, I would also like to grab this opportunity to establishing networking among other USM academicians. This would be very helpful for the years to come .. for all of us :)

See you all tomorrow!

My aspiration as an academician in USM is to be a competent teacher and a researcher first so as to groom ‘thinking’ students and society. Secondly, being an employee I have the corporate social responsibility as well to deliver my service to the people and the country via various research program and projects.

Learning is a lifelong journey  and there is always room for improvement hence  I  am looking forward to  learn new techniques during P&P so as to enhance my teaching and research  skills. Therefore, I believe P&P is one of the timely and appropriate platform to ignite so as to achieve those aspirations.

I am Azniwati Abd Aziz from School of Industrial Technology, Division of Bioresource, Paper and Coatings Technology. I am responsible to spread the love of Coatings Technology to our undergraduate students through Raw Materials and Coatings Chemistry (give them an insight on the materials used to create surface coatings such as paint and the reactions involved in turning monomer to polymer-yeah the theoretical part where they get the feeling to pretend to be Albert Einstein), Coatings Laboratory 1 (the hands-on time where the modified spirit of Thomas Edison “I-have-not-failed-I-have-just-found-10,000-ways-that-won’t-work-but-I-have–to-submit-the-lab-report-by-the-end-of-the-semester-“ is really needed especially when the monomer is sooo resistant to turn to polymer), Advanced Coatings Technology (radiation curing to sustain our beloved planet) and to invoke our undergraduates passions’ for research, I teach Experimental Design with Computer Applications. For my research, I would like to express myself as ‘surfactant lady’, where mixing the ‘unmixing’ is a priority. Without surfactant, the milk will be separated into two parts; the fat and the water. However, my passions are focus in the mixing of polymers with water for surface coating and harden it with UV or solar radiation.  My aspiration is to be a balance academic, like a surfactant that can hold two parts together in many phases. I hope I can get more insight from this P&P session to achieve my aspiration.
