Time flied. Holidays ended and it was the beginning of my second year. Just a blink of eyes, I already had all my Test 1 for 4 subjects while I am revising for my Test 2 on this Wednesday. And this is the subject that I’m going to write a reflection journal for my Test 1, that is Principle of Chemical Processes 2 @ (Old Name: Energy Balance), the continuity of Principle of Chemical Processes 1. This time I met a handsome, tall lecturer that is very knowledgeable, caring and passionate on his work, Dr. Aznizam. He is very energetic in his class and thus I am very alert and learning fast in his class.
We had this Test 1 at N24 DK7 on 1st of October 2014 in a cozy night. The papers consisted of 4 questions and were divided into Part A and B like usual. This was the first test that we had as a second year student and thus I might be not so ready for it. My results are okay, but I think I can do better than it, if I can get rid of my careless mistakes.
Question 1 was similar to a question from our past exercise but I didn’t even realize and felt that it was the toughest question in the whole test. Luckily, I didn’t screw it up completely and still tried my best to do it. Question 2, 3 and 4 were all quite okay for me, except need to have some creativity and thinkings because it was not like the normal question that we encountered in the classes. Unfortunately, due to my carelessness of forgetting to add a heat of fusion, I lost 15 marks in Question 3 which was a waste because I got every steps and methods correct. However, it is no point to regret or being sad on it, because we should always move forward. Taking it as a lesson will strengthen and make me to be more careful in my coming every test. Besides, I also lost mark due to not writing Basis and Reference Condition which I felt very angry to myself too. I should always be in mind that the important steps in answering a question.
To conclude, although my result is quite okay, I am still not satisfied with it because I feel that I only understand the knowledge and do not really master the skills of it yet. So, I will work harder and do more exercises to make sure I really master the knowledge of energy balance for my future working.
