[Day 2] Class with Mrs.Dina Mustafa

Tuesday, January 13, 2015

This morning we learned with Mrs.Dina Mustafa. Early class opened with a brief introduction. Everyone introduce their full name and place of origin. After the introductory session, we were given four modules of today subject matter. Three modules contains material about Mind Mapping and the rest is a paper about Computer Network as Social Network.

Mrs.Dina asked us to read the paper for 15 minutes. I underlined the main sentence in this paper with colored pen. For me, the easiest way to find the essence of a paper is in this way. After the specified time runs out, Mrs.Dina start a discussion about how to find what you are looking for from a paper. We began to express opinions. From Mrs.Dina, we get tips on how to get the right keywords, by reading the abstract of a paper. Why we should read the abstract first? Because abstract is like a ‘trailer’ which usually tell the essence of a paper, contain main idea, and review of literature.

The easier way to understand the contents of the paper, Mrs.Dina advised us to make mind mapping. Mind map is different from the concept map. If in the concept map we only found words, in mind map we can found image, color and symbol, but mind map is beyond the concept map. The reason to use mind map is because they are easy to remember and more brain friendly.

At the end of class, Mrs.Dina ask us to make a summary paper and mind map about Computer Network as Social Network.
