On the last few weeks of our final semester in 1st year, we were assigned in groups of random members to make a presentation and a report. There were around 8 groups and each are given the chance to pick a different topic Thermodynamics-related. The theme was Saving Energy to Save The World. My group chose Carbon Footprint for Domestic Applications. My group members include Nisha as the group leader, Fisyah, Ina, Jiji, Amir Awal, and me, Adilah.
As the assignment was given in the midst of a very hectic week, or perhaps we procrastinated it to the last few weeks, we didn't have much time to do a real group meeting. Therefore, all tasks and roles are divided equally only through our Whatsapp group and Email. In spite of that, my group members did such an excellent job as everyone did their parts really well. Everything went very smoothly during our presentation as well as the report. I am grateful to have such responsible group members as we help each other when a problem occurs.
My task was mostly making the slideshow, because I volunteered myself to do it. I love making slideshows because I am more of a graphic person rather than having to create sentences/writing. To make the slideshow, I had to read the whole report of our group and summarize all the points, thus, put it all into 10 slides, as stated in the assignment requirements. It was a challenge but I had fun making it. I put a lot of pictures into it because I want to make sure my classmates don't get bored while listening to our presentation.
Unfortunately, on the day of the presentation itself, our lecturer, Prof. Masafumi Goto had to cancel and postpone our presentation as all Degree students are obliged to go to the MJIIT Undergraduate Dean's List Award.. We were all devastated because the postponed date were in the middle of the exam week. We were afraid it will disturb our study time as the gap days between our papers are the only time we could study. We didn't have a study week and it is a BIG deal for us students.
Fast forward to the real presentation day, despite the exam hustles we were facing, I saw excitement in few of my classmates faces. Probably because we couldn't wait for another burden to be lifted off our shoulders. We didn't have to present in front of the whole class, instead, Prof Masafumi Goto booked a small room just enough space for one group and him to be in. After our presentation, he gave a few constructive comments to us and we truly appreciate it, as it will all be used to improvise our next presentation in the near-future. We took a lot of pictures together to be kept as memories.
