4. Mini Report

            I got notified of this event from my coordinator and there are a few small activities under this event. I joined as participant for two activities which are for e-sport I entered PUBG competition with my other classmate. For another activity I joined Badminton games in women double with my friend. In addition, I also attended the closing ceremony for this event where I received two medals for getting places for both games that I entered. We participated by filling the Google Form provided by the organiser for each different sport and after that paying the competition fees.

5. Self-Reflection

I could say that there are so many impacts of me joining some activities under this event on the development of my graduate attribute. One of it is, feeling the spirit of sport. For example, for both competitions that I entered, I was getting so enthusiastic while playing especially badminton because this is my first time ever joining a badminton competition. And this led to learning how to work well with my teammate such as understanding each other better, be responsible for every action and the importance of everybody’s decision on anything. After that, another impact is it is such an eye opening as along the process I got to learn what a great leadership looks like as seeing every team leader of each competition and also how the management staff conduct the event. All those impacts are so important for every student for future benefit.

By joining the activities from this event, I also gained self-strength and other benefits. For instance, I learnt how to stay strong and not giving up while competing in a game. I learnt how to deal with my emotions and upgrade my communication skills with everyone involves with the activities. And finally, of course there are a few challenges that comes along the journey. One of the most difficult thing to handle during the event is how to divide times efficiently as while participating with the event I also need to attend class and so on.

On 14^th and 15^th November 2019, I joined the event as volunteer in the track and field arena at Stadium Azman Hashim UTM Johor Bahru. For two days I was assigned at long jump station to help the judge in measuring the distance and flatten the sand after every jump using shovel. Doing the measuring was easy however the spreading of sand required a lot of energy since the shovel is not an ordinary shovel but huge and heavy shovel. Luckily there was a male volunteer doing the job neatly. With everyone teamwork, we were able to finish the session early than other sports.

During the closing ceremony, the volunteers were given free UTM Games shirt and were required to march with other contestants on the track. Every college that participated in the sports sent their mascot as well as the cheers team. The celebration was full of energy with everyone cheering to the winner and they were having a good time there.

5. Self-Reflection

On 6 March 2020, my course, Computer Network and Security held a spring cleaning and barbeque event for the whole day where every student in my course have to participate. There were two categories which is the spring cleaning team and prep team therefore one person can only choose 1 activity to do since these activities is done simultaneously. My friend and I decided to join the prep team for the barbeque event during the night time at Balai Cerap UTM JB.  We were trusted to prepare three type of dishes that is spaghetti bolognese, spaghetti carbonara as well as mashed potatoes.

During the food preparation, I was able to meet my former seniors and juniors properly as during usual time we all are busy with our classes. It is a great chance to really know them and exchange conversation. There were also some seniors and juniors that offer helping hands since our team are lacking of man power to lift all the heavy equipment. It was a great moment because we all get the chance to laugh and talk about other topics than classes and assignments. While at night, we all are recharged by the food any fun games that was planned for the event.

Probability and Statistic Data Analysis (SCSI2143) was taught by Dr. Suhailah binti Mohamad Yusuf during my first year second semester. Throughout the semester, we were given two project that require us to involve with statistic and interpretation as well as doing statistical test.

For the first project, we are acquired to collect our own data known as primary data according to our group topic which is type of favorite sports among UTM students. Briefly speaking, before we start to find respondents, we first must construct questions that we want to ask to our respondents. The categories that divides the question or data that we are aiming have 4 types, that is nominal data, ordinal data, ratio data and interval data. Based on these types of data chosen will help to determine the type of data representation. Whether it is in tabular or graphical form that include from the simple bar chart to stem-and-left to box plot.

To convert the data to graphical form, we were introduced to R Studio application that was created for statistical studies. Using this software, we can form bar and pie chart, histogram, stem-left, box plot and many more by just entering the data and call up the related function. So, based on the diagrams that represent the data that we have collected, we can proceed with interpretation of data. This is where we can see number of students that play sports in a day, what type of sports that they usually play, which college do they play the sports and how is the sports facilities provided by their colleges.

 For the second project, we need to do some statistical testing from the secondary data that we found thru the internet or reading materials. My group and I have selected 2 type of data that is the causes of death in France and the effect of bodyfat on weight. Different type of data has different type of testing procedure. For example, for one sample and two sample of data, we can do the hypothesis testing to check whether the testing accept null hypothesis or alternative hypothesis that we want to study based on the given data. Next, we can see the different of two sample data by correlation analysis and linear regression model to identify the data is related with each other or independent data and are the data linearly relationship or not especially for the effect of bodyfat to the weight. Other then that, we also have done the chi square for two-way contingency table for the causes of death in France in 2001.

From overall assessment, if I must evaluate myself, I would say that I understand what type of testing and technique that can be done for the given data and know how to do the testing. However, the lacking aspect on me is that I do not understand what the testing is for other than to see if it satisfied the null hypothesis or not. Like what I want to find if I do this certain testing or the objective of the testing in this term is form the data. There are so many things that I need to give attention to in order to increase my understanding in this subject.

Thank is all from me. Thank you for reading my reflection  ^u^

It have been such a hard semester for me. due to the adjusting to the new environment, new friends, new lecturers and new subjects... There are many my ups and downs moments but I have to make my vision clear and always look what ahead of me. I really hope that I can take things that I'm lacking and improvise it for the upcoming semester. Let's face it with all courage !!!
