COLLEGE STUDY SKILLS
Miss Shanaa
She is a very fun and lovable person. She always cares about other people's well-being which is very kind of her. I had a very wonderful semester with having her as T11's mentor. I'm grateful for her.

Lecture Notes
Taking notes for College Study Skills is much easier compared to the other subjects because the slides that Miss Shanaa provided were straight forward and easy to understand. I prefer to take notes before having classes with Miss Shanaa so that I could refer to my lecture notes while Miss Shanaa is explaining further. I love to highlight the main points for each sub-topic. The topics in College Study Skills were all so fun and weren't that stressful. They weren't too hard to comprehend especially when the lecturer is Miss Shanaa, who is really dedicated in teaching us.
Assignments
Social Media Diary
Recording videos for the social media diary assignment for College Study Skills was one of the most exciting parts of the TESL Foundation since I'm really into editing videos. The tasks for both entries were getting more interesting every week. Besides filming myself to complete every entry, I also got to learn some new things from the topics provided such as the importance of IT skills, the consequences of plagiarism, and many more. I had to make some research before I started recording myself which made it more intriguing. My favourite entry was in the 8th week where I had to make feedback on my journey on campus. I decided to compile every single video of me and my classmates spending time together and insert some footage of my academic journey in UiTM Puncak Alam. I had so much fun editing every single entry and I was sad that we don't need to make any video for the social media diary anymore.
Pre-Event Management

For the Pre-Event Management assignment, I was really grateful that I got such amazing groupmates who gave cooperation every time we had any problems. They were Aisyah, Erin, and Nurin. They were all very thoughtful and we helped one another in completing the assignment. We met once every three days to adjust our data collection and the descriptions to match what the guideline required us to do. At first, it was very hard for us to really understand the requirement to the point where we needed to ask multiple friends to explain further. After getting consulted by Miss Shanaa, we finally managed to continue our assignment effectively. We even got to improve our skills in giving elaborations for each pie chart. In my opinion, it was one of the hardest assignments I've ever had to complete but it was also very interesting since we got to imagine conducting our own event.
Personal Website
Designing my own personal website for the College Study Skills subject was one of the most fun assignments ever. I finally got to make use of the photos and videos that I've documented and saved since the first day I started studying in UiTM be it from home, in Puncak Alam, or in Dengkil. I got to look back at my previous experiences and try to think about how did they affect me. Some experiences were difficult to endure but most of them were amazing and filled with happiness especially because of my classmates who were really supportive and loving. I also enjoyed editing this website because I got to explore many ways to decorate our own website to make it look aesthetic and appealing. Miss Shanaa sent us multiple examples of past year's website so that we could make them as a guide. The photos above show what my blog looked like at first before I edited more.
Class Website
Getting along during the whole process of designing our class website was one of the best experiences ever. We discussed what would be the theme for the website. We narrowed down to three top choices and we came down to "Traditional theme" where every classmate needed to wear any types of traditional clothes such as Baju Kurung Kedah, Baju Melayu, Baju Kebaya, and many more. We decided to make it more traditional by adding kain batik lepas for females and kain pelikat for males. We thought that it would be difficult for us to make sure everyone was involved since some of us were at home since we couldn't have our photoshoot together. However, we cooperated very well and everyone was really excited to take photos of themselves in their traditional attires. Everyone looked stunning and beautiful. It felt like we were having a Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration virtually but unfortunately, we weren't. I was speechless while I was scrolling down the group chat gallery seeing everyone's pictures and videos. One of my classmates even went to the Terengganu Museum to take the photos for the class website. The struggle was real.
Last CSS Class
When Miss Shanaa sent a text in the group chat saying that tomorrow (26/10/2020) was going to be our last class for the first semester, I was sad and the same goes for everyone in T11. However, the whole first semester had been great with Miss Shanaa. I felt really grateful for having Miss Shanaa as T11's mentor because she is so caring and lovable. She can be both sweet and fierce depending on the situation but most of the time, she was cheerful and talkative which made me and also my classmates felt comfortable being around her. Miss Shanaa was really supportive and she cared about every single one of her mentees. She was worried if anyone was sick. To repay her kindness, my classmates and I decided to show her a little sweet gesture by writing down some appreciation words on a piece of paper and showed it to her during the last class. She was touched and happy. I hope she felt grateful to have us as her mentees and students as well. Thank you Miss Shanaa!
Extra:
Social Media Diary Week 8
Making videos for the Social Media Diary assignment was a lot of fun. I got to use my creativity to edit my videos besides improving my speaking skills in front of the camera. It indirectly increased my confidence to talk to the audience. My favourite entry was the one that required me to summarize the whole journey on campus, which is the 8th Social Media Diary. I got to include my favourite moments in Puncak Alam and how I organize my study time throughout the semester. Please enjoy my video!
First Meet With Miss Shanaa
This Boomerang was taken right after we finished our consultation regarding the pre-event management assignment. Miss Shanaa was really funny and I had fun talking to her in person even though I was a little shy at first. It was weird though because I'm usually not the type of person who gets shy easily.
