Reflection Journal for PCP 2 Test 3 | My Eportfolio by CHONG BOON HONG

PCP 2 Test 3 marked the last test for this semester. This time the topics that included were heat engine and entropy.

Actually I was kind of confused and slow when we entered those topics in thermodynamics as I didn't take physics during my form6. So, sometimes I was kind of dazed of during the class because I didn't know what was happening. I just copied the answers and solutions to study back later. Luckily, I can still catch up the classes.

When we entered the topic Entropy, it was really a disaster. I could not catch the concept of it as its so abstract. There were really moments that I felt that it was really too hard to understand and I wanted to give up on it. However, the dedication of Dr. Aznizam made me to carry on and after browsing through the internet for videos of the topic and read the chapter again and again, I finally caught a little bit of the concept.

The test 3 was considered as easy as the questions were similar to our exercise. However, I am still worried that I didn't master the concept of entropy so I will do more exercise before the final paper. While, I felt a bit guilty to myself when I got back my paper for test 3 as I didn't do well for question 1. I thought it had flaws so I didn't even try hard on it while it actually just a simple mathematics question. This incident gave me a lesson that I should not judge a situation too easily without analysing deep enough as everything is possible to happen. I will be a careful and wise engineer in the future.

To conclude, semester 1 of 2014/15 ended. It was really a fortune to attend the class of Dr. Aznizam to see his dedication and passion in his career. Without his sharing of knowledge, it would definitely ruin my base to be an engineer to think critically in the future. I wish Dr. Aznizam will always be so cheerful, energetic and passionate to cultivate more and more future engineers that are interesting. Thank you very much.
