[English]

Fourth year undergraduates

As was told to you during the pre-training session by the Dean, Assoc. Prof. Dr Sharifudin in November 2009, you are required to do a presentation as part of the evaluation process.  Therefore please be prepared to do your industrial training presentation starting from Monday, 9 August 2010.

The duration of the presentation is 20 minutes per student.  You should prepare a ten-minute presentation which should include

• a brief introduction of the organisation where you did your training,
• what was the content of your training (i.e. what did you do there), and
• conclusion on what have you learnt from your training.

If several students did their training in the same department of the same organisation, you  should list out the training undergone, choose section(s) which will be covered in detail by you in your presentation, and state the other section(s) which will be covered by another student.  Please ensure that amongst all of you who went to the same organisation,  your presentation does not overlap and not plagiarised from each other.   Logically, like the rest of the students, you should have an introduction and a conclusion for your presentation.  Please do not worry about the order of presentation, whether it’s the same day with your friends, who presents first, etc., all these have no bearing on the evaluation of your presentation.

Your presentation will be followed by a ten-minute question and answer session.  You will be evaluated in three ways:

1. Content
2. Organisation of your presentation
3. Delivery of your presentation.

For content, examiners will be looking out for accurate and up to date information on important issues related to your training.  After training for six months, we will see if you can handle a Q & A session well.

Please make sure you adhere to the ten-minute presentation time frame.  You might be stopped by the examiner after ten minutes.

The university promotes teaching and learning via e-learning.  In that spirit, for updates please refer to the teaching website, http://nutritiontalk.wordpress.com.  I am sure you are familiar with this website, you have looked at it for the past three years for all notices in my lectures.

Best wishes,

[Bahasa Melayu]

Pelajar prasiswazah tahun 4

Seperti dimaklumkan oleh Dekan, Prof Madya Dr Sharifudin, semasa sesi pra-latihan pada November 2009, anda dikehendaki membuat pembentangan sebagai sebahagian daripada proses penilaian.  Oleh itu, silalah bersedia untuk membuat pembentangan latihan industri bermula Isnin, 9 Ogos 2010.

Tempoh pembentangan adalah 20 minit setiap pelajar.  Anda harus menyediakan pembentangan untuk sepuluh minit yang meliputi

• pengenalan ringkas mengenai organisasi tempat anda berlatih,
• kandungan latihan (iaitu apa yang anda telah lakukan di sana), dan
• kesimpulan mengenai apa yang telah anda pelajari.

Jika bebeberapa pelajar menjalani latihan di jabatan yang sama dalam organisasi yang sama, anda patut senaraikan latihan yang telah ditempuhi, pilih bahagian yang akan anda beri tumpuan dalam pembentangan anda, dan nyatakan bahagian-bahagian lain yang akan difokuskan oleh pelajar lain.  sila pastikan di kalangan anda yang berlatih di organisasi yang sama, pembentangan anda tidak bertindih atau diplagiat dari satu sama lain.  Secara logiknya, seperti para pelajar yang lain, anda patut mempunyai pengenalan dan kesimpulan di dalam pembentangan anda.  Mohon jangan dirisaukan turutan pembentangn, hari yang sama dengan rakan yang lain, siapa duluan dan sebagainya, semua itu tidak ada kena-mengena dengan penilaian pembentangan anda.

Pembentangan anda akan diikuti dengan sesi soal jawab selama sepuluh minit.  Anda akan dinilai dari tiga cara:

1. Kandungan
2. Organisasi (aturan) pembentangan anda
3. Penyampaian pembentangan anda.

Bagi kandungan, pemeriksa akan melihat pada ketepatan dan sifat terkini maklumat bagi isu-isu penting berkaitan dengan latihan anda.  Selepas menjalani latihan enam bulan, kami akan lihat sama ada anda dapat menghadapi sesi soal jawab dengan baik.

Sila pastikan anda menepati tempoh masa sepuluh minit yang diberikan.  Anda mungkin diminta untuk berhenti oleh pemeriksa selepas sepuluh minit.

Universiti ini menganjurkan pengajaran dan pembelajaran melalui e-learning.  Sehubungan itu, sila rujuk maklumat terkini di dalam laman web mengajar, http://nutritiontalk.wordpress.com.  Saya pasti anda sudah biasa dengan laman web ini kerana anda telah menggunakan selama tiga tahun lepas bagi semua makluman berkaitan kuliah saya.

salam,
