Final exam of the semester of Mrs. Aciek Course #log 10 - 2 February 2015

I wrote my last week activity at Bandung - ITB. Last week, I absent English class from Mrs. Paulin because I had to followed the final exam of semester of Mrs. Aciek course. Mrs. Paulin was teach about how to read scientist journal and also give an article to read. At campus, in the morning, I had been sitting on the chair and was waiting a lecture. I present about my thesis however my groups doesn't came with me because Mrs. Aciek already decide there were 4 student to present for each day. And for the first presentation on this week it's me, and 3 of my friends. I was a second student to present after my collage. On presentation I explained about my project that had been done but not one hundred percent process, it was almost 25 percent. Even though haven't finish yet, Mrs. Aciek give me some advise to finish it quickly. After finish, I go back to SEAMOLEC and arrived on midnight. Until February, I would prepare to finish my thesis Crayonpedia.  That's all and thank you :)

Kadek 9 Feb 2015 #log 11 - Debate about Woman in Technology

English class start on 9 am a clock until 11 am a clock with Mrs. Paulin. Today we have a new material to practice directly on debate. we have a topic on debate is "Woman in Technology". On debate, we divide group into 2 groups. One group is for men and one group for women. This is my first time do debate in English. I feel a little bit shy and not confident to communicate what I think. but I try to deliver what my statement to participant. The ladies group is first, and it time to my group. While we present the presentation, there is something mistake that we don't put our statement. I realize that it's a big mistake. I was absent on last week. During debate, I get interrupt by Mrs. Paulin because I talk outside of the topic and Mrs. Paulin correct that be careful to deliver the sentence to participant. the importance think that don't go into personal when take an illustration or explain something about debate. Each group on debate have an opportunity to present their presentation. And each group have to consider a balance view of the problem. The last think that we always remember is how we debate in smart, good with the one word is SEXI : State, Explain and Illustrate. This is easier you can communicate and do in a good debate. I have a new experience in debate. Thank you for today all. :)

Activities at Bandung #Log 9 - 22 January 2015

I remember to write my daily log. Today, I am sitting on desk of SEAMOLEC training division and start to write. On 22 January 2015, I was in Bandung-ITB to make an appointment with my supervisor thesis and of course with my thesis group. Mrs. Aline absent on class and she give us an assignment to do at home. We write a resume from data that she already give us by her presentation via email. I finish it before go to Bandung. I write on one page and send to Mrs. Aline's email. On afternoon, I depart from rent house to shuttle bus of Prima Jasa. I always use this transportation because it's cheaper that travel car about 38.000 rupiah. But, however it's dangerous when a bus just throw out us on the expressway. The speed of bus average normal within 40 km per hour or 60 km per hour. So, we spent times more than 3-4 hour to arrive at Bandung. My activity at Bandung is show my thesis progress and meeting up with my thesis group and don't forget to hang out with my friends.

Log 9 #Day 9 - January 22th, 2015

Today is free from class for us because Mrs.Aline tell us in the milis group that she is sick and cannot come to class for today, but she give us assignment to do. In the task, Mrs. Aline ask us to write a one page summary about 4 figures she give in assignment file she give us. The 4 figures tell us about global data snapshot social media indonesia user 2014, how media social slowly become daily activities for all Indonesian people and even become a new addicted. Social media give a good impact to development of information and communication technology and along the way they give a bad impact too, people who become addicted and spend their time everyday just to post and chit chatting in social media slowly retret their self from reality, they become less interact with people around them because they are too immerse with their own world in social media.

Actually when Mrs. Alien tell us that she can not come, We immediately go to Bandung to meet our thesis supervisor and give him our progress. Although we are going to Korea for double degree program but still we have to help our thesis group finished our thesis project. It's tiring going back and forth to Jakarta and Bandung but it worth it though.

January 26 - Web 2.0 Era and LoA

Monday, January 26, 2015. It is Mrs. Paulina class today. Like always, she send us reading material before class. So, we can prepare before class. This time she send us a paper written by Catherine McLoughlin and Mark J.W.Lee. It titled “mapping the digital terrain: new media and social software as catalysts for pedagogical change”. This paper talking about all of us need to rethink models for teaching and learning adaptation to Web 2.0 era. Mrs. Paulina teach the class about paradigm of e-learning, she tell us to read the paper, discuss it with friends, and made mind map from this paper. After all of that we must present the mind map and then create a resume from that. The class so much fun when Mrs. Pauline teach us, it is feel the lesson really into us.

There is another big event this day. Letter of Acceptance come from Puk Yong National University. But it must be corrected because some of us changes their passport to e-passport due to any circumstances. One of our friend, already search how to make visa to Korea. There is photo, under graduate degree certificate and photocopy, transcript and photocopy, and $1000 bank statement in sponsor account that we needs. Even thought, it already said by Mbak Cahya, but I quite shock about $1000, because I don’t have money that much, so does my parents. Perhaps I found a way to solve it later. If LoA come and we already found the subsidy, Korea embassy will let me pass bank statement.

January 23 - Smart Transportation

Friday, January 23, 2015. Me already in Bandung, because there is no class since yesterday. Together with some of crayonpedia research team, we take travel in Lebak Bulus terminal. The leader of my research team contact me last night. He ask me to help with data that he lose when reinstall he’s laptop. It was all the idea and plan for the research. He reach Bandung at last Sunday. He also meet our academic supervise talk about our research yesterday. I must see him for update information, discuss our research, what to do, and together we restore data to server. It is new server, physically hahaha… We get new server with low specification so our supervisor ask his team to replace it with higher spec, Lucky for us I think.

Talking about research, we separate team three on three because this joint degree. There is Asep, Dela and Supri the leader, all of them stay in ITB. Then Adzany, Fino, and me that join dual degree program to Puk Yong National University, Korea. We plan to continue the research and keep contact even though we separate with two different country. Everyone knows Korea have better transportation system and condition. I will learn more about smart transportation in Korea. I believe I can learn more if I go there and it will be great influence for my project, and of course it will be good for our team. Oh yeah… I thinking learn hangul will be nice if I go to Korea, let’s start research hangul ^_^

The third tell about smartphone usage percentage and the last show percentage contract type for Internet using by Indonesian.

Contrary from we who attend the academic communication skills for joint degree class at pondok cabe, our classmate in Bandung are on fire with research product. I can read each team progress clearly, because I always maintain contact with all of them. In a way they already reach certain goals. This means they will finish research soon and accomplish target to graduate at June 2015. I really envy them, it would be nice to graduate with all of our classmate. FIGHTING GUYS!!!
