GIG1005 Social Engagement : Lesson Learnt


Assalamualaikum and hi peeps!

Time flies so fast. I am already in my last post for my Social Engagement journal. I enjoy my time writing here since I used to have quite a passion for blogging a long time ago but since my university schedules were so hectic, I have to stop blogging for years. As for me, this journal-writing task in blog actually really bringing back old memories.
I am so close to end this project.

Rewind back to my first post regarding my preparation for the project. How we proposed the plan and the fact that we already in a two-way-agreement to build IT Workshop for the school students in SK Bangsar. Unfortunately, the plan was cancelled and we have to start all over again to come out with other project plan. At last, we decided to make poster about the COVID-19 outbreak to spread awareness in social media. My latest post was about the execution of the project. For the newcomers, u can refer to my older posts or check out my blog archive to go back to those entries.

Now, for the last stage, I will talk about lesson that I learnt for this project.
1.       Not everything will go on your way
My project team has prepared everything for the IT Workshop but it was cancelled at the last minute, like a month before the due. I am quite disappointed but what can I do about it? No one expected this coming.

2.       Always be ready for any consequences
That’s why, we should be prepared for any consequences or simply said, always get ready with Plan B! It is important to stay alert and if anything happens in the middle of your work, don’t stop and complaining or regretting over what happened, but we have to quickly think about how to deal with the problems.

3.        Be positive!
Everything happens for a reason. For instance, think about how the crimes suddenly decreased in 2020. I used to complain a lot about this sudden outbreak but, if I look from the other side, I actually gained something from this. I can spend more time with my family and I also can have my own space and pace to do assignments at home.

Although our initial plan was cancelled, but the fact that actually, we still can contribute to our society even using our infographic posters and the power of social media.

4.       Gain a lot of knowledges
Since the task given required to do some searching about COVID-19, I admit that I know quite a lot of things from the research. For instance, I know about how other countries dealing with the virus using AI technologies.

5.       Can spread awareness using many ways
Not necessary to meet, we can also spread awareness using only virtual platform. I can say that for now, social media, specifically, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, hold crucial parts in influencing people nowadays. Benefitting the apps can give positive impacts toward our society and for ourselves too.

I have a lot more to say but I guess I should stop here before it gets lengthy. Last word from me, I am very happy and grateful to be apart of this project. I think Social Engagement is one of crucial course for students to build up their networking, leadership and et cetera. I learnt many things here and it helps to improve myself to become a better human-being. Stay safe everyone, bye!

“Who even thought that 2020 will be a year where the planner became completely useless?”

GIG1005 Social Engagement : Preparation

Hi everyone!  Before I get started, I will introduce myself first. I am Nurul Hanani Binti Mohamad Zameri, first year student in Faculty Computer Science and Information Technology, majoring in Software Engineering. I will write a journal regarding how I involved myself in GIG1005 Social Engagement’s project. I will explain a little bit about this subject. Social Engagement or I called it as SE, which consists of 2 credit hours, is a subject that requires me and my friends to contribute to the society. For us to contribute something, we have to come up with a project. So this is my in-making-project journal entries. Let’s begin! First Week : I was told to gather at DK2 for my first ever SE class. I quite disappointed because I can’t get to see my actual lecture-in-charge for the project. I knew my lecture was on medical leave so I hope he will recover soon so that I can see him in the next meeting. With the absence of my lecturer, I had to combine with other co...

Assalamualaikum and hello everyone! Today, I will continue my journal regarding my Social Engagement project. In my previous post, I told about the preparation process which is, considered as step 1, today I will tell my step 2 and obviously it was regarding the execution process. As I mentioned before, we could not proceed with the IT Workshop project in SK Bangsar because of the sudden outbreak of COVID-19. Because of that, I and my other course mates were told to make a poster regarding preventive measures to combat COVID-19. I was really excited and can't wait to start making the poster since I really love designing, well even though i don't really have the talent anyway, but still, I have a bunch of free time so, I started to do it in a slow pace. Suddenly, I was informed that the topic for the poster was changed. The new topic was: " How technologies involved in COVID-19 issue? ". I am not complaining with the sudden change because the topic was still u...
