WEEK 1

Assalamualaikum and hey everyone!!

This is my forth semester and this semester I have enrolled in the Microbial Ecology courses. I'm looking forward to start this semester and especially the ecology class. My lecturer for microbial ecology class is Dr. Wan Zuhainis. Unfortunately, our first class of ecology have to cancel but our lecturer have already provided a task for us. The task is we must find an article that related to the Principle of Microbial Ecology.

This is the article that I have choose.

From the article relate what you have read with the Principle of microbial ecology.

THURSDAY, ( 9-11 am)

First class of microbial ecology for this semester. In this first class Dr. Wan has give us some briefing about what we going to do and learnt this semester in this subject. We go through the learning outcome and outline. After that we have to form a group of 6 to 7 people in one group. I in the group 1 with Hidayah, Aisyah, Aina, Fareeza, Erfiana and Amalina. Then, Dr. Wan explained to us about the SCL. We have 5 five SCL to do : 3 SCL is a group work and another 2 SCL is an individual work.

That's all what I do in this first class. Thank you!!!!

WEEK 2

MONDAY, ( 4-5 pm)

Week 2 has started guys and i'm really excited. for this second week and second class of microbial ecology I have many activities in class with my group and classmate. My microbial ecology class started at 4.00 pm until 5.00 pm. In this one hour class, I have some activities with my group member. First activity : we needed to choose one of our group member article from the first task in Edmodo, read it and try to understand and relate it with the Principle of microbial ecology. We must type what we get and understand from the article in the padlet. 

 This is our reflection and what we understand about the Principle of microbial ecology based on the article that we chose. Please have a look at our group reflection (group 1) hehe

   

At the same time while read and looking for the Principle of microbial ecology, we in a group require to state what topic that we gonna do for another SCL : Live Without Microbe in padlet also. So we have decided to do a topic that related to the environmental field on the oil-degrading bacteria.

Last but not least, before the class end our lecture ask us to comment on the other group reflection on the Principle of microbial ecology based on their article. So, my group chose group 7. Have a look above on the left.

THURSDAY, ( 9-11 am)

Today is two hours class of Microbial Ecology. First of all before the lecture start my lecture Dr. Wan point a few student and she will asked a question. I'm felt very nervous at that moment (afraid if I unable to the question that she asked). After several question have been asked, now its time for the lecture. We go through the slide quickly because all of us have read the lecture note before coming to the class. 

What I have learnt from the lecture? Basically what I learnt from this lecture is about the discipline in the microbial ecology, we have 6 disciplines which is applied ecology, human/plant/animal ecology, physiological ecology, population ecology, ecotoxicology and political ecology. (but we more focus about on microbial ecology. There are 2 strategists in the microbial ecology that have been used by the microorganism which are r and k strategist. r strategist is about the reproduction. This strategist have high rate of reproduction and high growth rate while the K strategist is about the adaptation. k strategist have low reproduction rate but this strategist is more stable. the conclusion is K strategist is better than r strategist. In ecology we have two type of succession : autogenic succession and allogenic succession. End of the lecture!!

Now its the time for the group work!! huhu .. we have to sit in our group and summarize on the topic that we have learnt.(without referring to the notes oke)

tadaaaa!!! this is my group summary.

That's all what me and my classmate did in the microbial ecology class for this week. The clss end with a peace..hehe ..see again next week.
