HARCHANA A/P ARULAPPAN

First and foremost, I would like to thank Dr.Azurah Binti A Samah, our Probability and Statistic Data Analysis  (SECI  2143) course lecture, for providing this opportunity and for helping in my ways in completing all the tasks which includes project, assignments, and this e-portfolio too. I would not be able to finish all the group and individual assignments without her. Dr. Azurah has also done quizzes where it helps me to identify my progress,  knowledge and understanding of the 8 chapters. I would like to thank Dr.Azurah again for the effort taken to conduct classes synchronously almost every week during mid-day and the continuous patience.

         Within 3 months, I have learned some statistical techniques as tools  which R programming and Microsoft Excell to analyse the data. In the beginning, I was  exposed with various forms of data. The data represented by the different types of variables are derived from different sources, daily and industrial activities. The analysis begins with the data representation visually. This course also helps me to explore some methods of parameter estimation from different distributions. Further data analysis is conducted by introducing the hypothesis testing. Some models are employed to fit groups of data. At the end of this course, I  was able to apply some statistical models in analysing data using available software such as R programming.

          Moreover, through this course, I  have gained knowledge and skills through investigations of different ways to collect and represent data and describe and analyse variation in data. Through practical examples, I understand some statistical concepts, such as data representation, variation, the mean and median, bivariate data, probability, designing statistical experiments, and population estimations.

First and foremost, I would like to thank Dr.Azurah Binti A Samah, our Technology Information System (SECP  1513) course lecture, for providing this opportunity and for assisting in my ways in completing all the tasks which includes project, assignments, and this e-portfolio too. I would not be able to finish all the group and individual assignments without her. Within 3 months, I have learned the design, implementation, support, or management of computer-based information systems. Besides, throughout  this course, 6 Industrial talks were held, and we were assigned to do posters, newsletter, magazine, and low fidelity projects. respectively based on the industrial talks. Dr. Azurah has also done quizzes where it helps me to identify my progress,  knowledge and understanding of the 13 chapters. I would like to thank Dr.Azurah again for the effort taken to conduct classes synchronously almost every week during mid-day and the continuous patience.

    Moreover, through this course, I  have gained knowledge regarding the past, present and future technologies along with four industrial revolutions. This course has broadened my mind about the revolution of technologies with time. We are fortunate enough to live this era of technological convenience as mundane tasks are just one click away. Interestingly, I noticed that Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet plays an important role in fulfilling IR 4.0. I  also learned that numerous smart devices are implying IR 4.0 features. Furthermore, by  this course I was  introduced to the initiatives of TM to speed up the development of IR 4.0 in our country. Lastly, as a student, this course has introduced me to the technologies and artificial intelligence(AI) that contributes to the digital development of IR 4.0 in this world.

Dr.Azurah has divided us into 4 and 5 members for our group assignments. I was placed in Group 6 alongside Nasrul, Puteri Eleeya and Malleylene and myself . I would like to express my gratitude to my group members , as we have all worked together to complete all the group assignments which include teamwork. A very good bonding between our group members was formed which makes us easier to communicate and work together flexibly.

         While conducting all the assignments and projects, I learned and was able to improve my interpersonal skills such as speaking and listening to others. I can exchange and share ideas with my group as group members give their ideas as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each approach. This style of teamwork benefits all the assignments and allows me to rebound around ideas to find the best fit. During our group discussion, I also learned on how to accept the feedback, respect, and empathize with the viewpoints of others. Other than that, I managed to think creatively and come up with an innovative solution to organizational problems. “Completing a difficult project and seeing it through to the end”  is the tagline that has motivated us to complete all the assignments. Moreover, I learned that  working well as part of a team is my responsibility as a group member to complete all the assignments.

            Finally, I would like to thank my classmates for being supportive and assisting us in explaining things we do not understand while completing all the assignments. Thank you to all who directly and indirectly helped us to complete our assignments.

At the end of this semester 1, I could find out the improvement necessary for me to improve my potential in the industry. Furthermore, my strategy to improve my protentional in this industry is to study and work smart. I learnt that personal development skills are fundamental because they enable me to design strategic and tactical strategies for professional progress that will help me to perform well in industry. So, I plan to join and participate in many activities that can help to improve my interpersonal skills. I hope that my self-discipline helps to control my desires to stay focused to achieve my goals.

Goals and dreams will help me to set priorities and remain committed to me to succeed in university. My main goal concerning this course is to graduate with a First-Class Honours Degree. I aim to obtain and maintain a CGPA above 3.60 for every semester. I would like to pursue this course (Bioinformatics) till PhD. Hope that I will be more successful and professional in this field in future.
