Today classes are Basic Science, Philosophy and Digital Communication. In Science class we just had a normal course introductory and we were given a topic for each group that has 3 member to create a PowerPoint for the topic. Me and my group choose a topic about Energy. None of the member in my group has taken physics before but that doesn't mean that we make a bad team. We will try our best to perform for English this semester. As for Philosophy, we don't have any online meet because the lecturer use WhatsApp as a platform for today. This is the first time that I witness a class using WhatsApp as a platform. Later that night, me and my group decided to finish the infographic poster which are the assignment for AAR400 (Design Appreciation). Tomorrow morning are the submission for the assignment so we had to finish it tonight. We compiled all 3 files into PDF.
Today, there's only 1 class on the evening which is AAR405. We got our first assignment though google meet and we were instructed to submit before 4.15pm starting 3.00pm. The assignment were basics line horizontal, vertical and curve. This assignment were supposed to train us on drawing a line without the help of a ruler or any sort of tools. We were struggling for about an hour to finish the assignment to submit. In the end, all of us weren't able to finish it on time. Our lecturer gave us a chance and extend the time to submit before 12am. I compiled all 4 picture into PDF and finished right before 9pm.
Today in my schedule, both of the classes are design class AAR400 and AAR405. Today both classes focus mainly on briefing for design and drawing. Class AAR400 we all had to choose one local fruits so each studio must have 30 different various of fruits and I choose water guava. We were also assigned to make a group of 3 and choose a topic, me and my friend both agree on picking scale and proportion. As for AAR405 (Design Drawing and Communication) the lecturer mainly focuses on topic briefing and told us about the detail of this courses. It's hard to attend to design classes through online meet because design classes are meant to be physical classes.
Today, the first class finally started! It's been awhile since I've been in any classes. Since we can't attend to the class physically so we all used google meet for ODL (online distance learning). Yes, it's different from physical class but we all need to practice on preventing these viruses to spread even more. A lot of people wanted to go to collage but with the situation now, I'm just afraid that we all will be stuck at collage and couldn't get home. Today's class are Economics Architecture and English Oral.
Yesterday, I did a status about me going out to Paradigm Mall. One of my course mate replied and asked me if that was at Paradigm Mall. I was shocked as she recognize the mall and instantly ask whether she is from Johor. Then I found out she lives 20 minutes away from me and I often go there because it's near Jusco Aeon Mall. Today I planned to buy some art stationeries and tools. Where I live, the nearest art stationery store near me was across that Jusco Aeon Mall and it's also near her home so I asked whether she want to meet to help me buy the art supply since she already bought some. I spend almost RM100 for 2 sketchbook, pen marker, butter paper, A3 drawing pad, aluminum ruler, drawing board, set square and cutter. I only bought art supply that we will use for the first week because some art tools are not available here. Thinking of it, today I supposed to be registering for Collage at UiTM Seri Iskandar but since the pandemic were getting more and more dangerous, lots of other students doing ODL (online distance learning) instead and that includes me.
Today my schedule aren't full and tight like the other days. When my friends invited me to join them going to Paradigm Mall. I was hesitated at first because of the Covid-19 cases were still increasing drastically but seeing and meeting them are so rare because all of them continued their studies and already on their mid semester while I didn't even get to start my first semester yet. I decided joined them to the mall and spend some qualities time with them. I ended up bought myself a wired gaming mouse since I only have wireless mouse, spends RM30 for it and RM5 for food since we used dominos free coupons that we got from a lady at the Mall.
Today we've been told to connect our Microsoft account to google so that we can use google classroom through using email UiTM which under Microsoft. We will be using google classroom for our online distance learning (ODL). Most of the lecturer recommend us to use the UiTM email because of the formal and professional interaction between lecturer and students but some of the lecturer don't really mind the student to use their personal account. As for me, I would recommend using UiTM email just because it will be easier to watch after our task under one account rather than having two or more account to look after to. Lots of student struggle on connecting their UiTM email to Google and that's include our lecturer too. Some student stuck at activating their email UiTM too. I decided to find the solution myself, I tried asking my parents because they are both lecturer so I thought they would know but they told me that they never heard such of things that connect Microsoft and Google account. As I learn how to do it, I share to my course mates on how to activate their email so that it would be easier for them to connect their email later on.
Here is how :
1. Korang search dkt google ‘microsoft login’ then tekan ‘office 365’
2. Tekan sign in
3. Pastu untuk sign in tulis
Nomborid@isiswa.uitm.edu.my
4. Password korang tu dua huruf terdepan contoh nama aq Ikhwan so yg depan tu Ik ( I tu besar k tu kecik ) then letak @ pastu letak id tanpa 2020
Contoh: Ik@835834 (Tanpa 2020)
First I ask the lecturer on how to connect the UiTM account to Google. He teaches us the step from signing in the email at google until I got stuck at the verification site so I ask him about the next step. Then, we all stuck at the verification part because we don't know where to get the verification code at. I tried searching for an inbox for Microsoft because there must be a place where all inbox are placed if there's an email under Microsoft. That's where I found out about Microsoft Outlook where all inboxes are placed.
Here's a step to veify :
1. Ikut semua step dalam gambar tu dulu
2. Pergi dekat Microsoft Office 365 tu
3. Cari Outlook then tekan benda tu
4. Set up kan Outlook for email verification melalui Microsoft
5. Bila dah bukak inbox, amek verification number letak dekat yang google mintak verification code tadi
