A disgrace of 25 marks question!

Posted by FilZah ZayaNah

Bismillah...

25 marks for a single question in exams paper is such a disfavor!
If it's just for 1 (one) question is acceptable. But, for all of it? You must be kidding me!
It's like a torture for me. Having to answer 4 question with 25 marks for each of it. No sub-questions (except for 1 question). 

If it's a contract-related-subject exams, I can accepted. But for that particular subject is muzukashi for me. I have not much points to elaborate, to make it as 25 marks as the question want. -_-
It isn't fair to the students. Not all students are 'expert' in this goreng2 stuff. *sigh8
At least, give a sub-questions to it. With a fraction of 5marks/10marks/10marks. *At least!*i
This is among the thing that distract me from pursuing my study to Master Degree. The dislike of writing a long explaining answer. If it's within my capability/knowledge, it alright. But what if suddenly, it's out of my coverage or even if I forgot about that thing? I will bring disaster to the result! Oh my~
This is also making reluctant of being a lecturer. Some even doesn't really consider the students. Poor us.

'Ala kulli hal, I pray the best for the result. And I pray for the lecturers as well. May they be blessed by God. Amin.

*A'uzubillahi minassyaitaan ar-rajim.

The Final of Measurement Final Examination!

Posted by FilZah ZayaNah


Bismillah..

Finished up the final (insyaAllah) examination for Measurement subject yesterday (May 27th, 2013). Alhamdulillah.
I've taken the subject for 7 times, in total. Not that I failed the subject, but we are to take the subject every semester.
The subject, which is also called 'studio subject', begun since my very 1st semester in the main campus. It is a pre-requisite subject,whereby, in order to register for the next class, students are to pass the subject. In contrast, you are to repeat the subject; in this case, students are to extend their year of study. That shows how crucial this subject is.


I still remember bro. Shamsul, who was among our 1st measurement's lecturer, said that: " Measurement is like a bread and butter for a QS".
We were introduced to slip sort, SSM (the Std. Method of Measurement of Bldg Works) and those big2 drawings.

I still remember how hard (but exciting) it was during our 1st time to measure. We were given a set of A1 drawings i.e. the plan for tree stumps. We were expected to take off (measure) for the site clearing.
From there, the topics were getting harder and trickier.

In this 4 years time, we have measure from simple things such as tree stumps, reinforced concrete and formwork, up to trickier things such as reinforcement, steelworks and civil works.

-The study-
Year 1:
AQS 1100 Msrmnt of Bldg Works 1 (Brickworks, Floor, Wall, etc.)
AQS 1200 Msrmnt of Bldg Works 2 (Door & Window, Finishes, Water supply, etc.)
Year 2:
AQS 2100 Msrmnt of Reinforced Concrete & Structural Steel Works (Piling, Staircase, etc.)
AQS 2200 Msrmnt of Building Services & External Works (Sewerage, Sport facilities, etc.)
Year 3:
AQS 3100 Msrmnt of Advanced Building & Services (Lift, Drainage, etc.)
Year 4:
AQS 4102 Msrmnt of Civil Engineering Works (Roadworks, etc.)
AQS 4202 Msrmnt of Advanced Civil Engineering Works (Bridge, Railtrack, Dam, Jetty,etc.)

-The exams-
Measurement exams need a lot of preparation. We are not only expected to remember the theory. Understanding how things work really helps during the exams. Thus, we are to 'digest' on how to measure the things, and write it down in those cute slip sort paper. Though the time allocated was 4 hours, it doesn't seems enough for us (or for me at least). Time flies like a flash.
When I told people that I have exams with 4 hours time duration, they shocked. It might be the same as when I heard of their 2 hours exams. Shock-shock situation I guess. ;p

'Ala kulli hal, I will miss u someday, '4 hours Measurement Exams'!

Alhamdulillah_6-1=5_Econs_

Posted by FilZah ZayaNah


Assalamu’alaikum.

Alhamdulillah, asykuru ‘ala kulluhum.Alhamdulillah.

Alhamdulillah @ Praise be to Allah
@ Syukur.

Itulah perkataan yang selayaknya aku zikirkan saat ini, juga saat-saat sebelum dan selepas ini. Nak tahu kenapa? Aku baru saja melepasi antara saat kritikal untuk sem ini; tahap pertama. Peperiksaan bagi subjek ‘Economics for Quantity Surveyors 1’, yang mana aku sangat susah hati ketika mengulangkaji subjek ini. Aku rasa berat hati nak buat revision[subjek2 lain pun sama sebenarnya ;p]. Tak diketahui puncanya. M.I.A???

[Sudah.Sudah. Tak nak cerita benda sedih]

Ok, back to da point, untuk subjek Econs ni, aku hanya menumpukan perhatian untuk habiskan revision silibus sahaja. Past year exam papers, aku cek sekali imbas je, sampai la waktu exams, aku tak mentelaah pun kertas2 tu. Alhamdulillah, nasib baik ada kawan2 aku yang bertanyakan soalan, jadi, adalah juga beberapa soalan exams tu aku dalami, tuntas menjawab persoalan2 meraka.[Ayatku?] Alhamdulillah. Allah bagi jalan.

To be honest, dalam waktu aku nak habiskan@RE-vise@RE-study kesemua 14 sub-topik tersebut [yang mana terdapat 14 set nota slaid presentasi], aku hanya sempat RE-write 10 topik je. Means, 10 topik je yang aku sempat dalami. Yang baki 4 tu, aku baca sekali imbas dan tawakkal je. Dengan harapan, topik tu tak masuk exams[as berdasarkan survey yang tak berapa dalam tu, aku tak jumpa soalan berkaitan 4 topik terakhir tu.] ;p

Owh..lagi satu topik penting yang aku lupa nak study; Islamic Economy. Fuh..nasib baik tak masuk. ;p

Hm, aku n rumee agak lambat la bertolak dari bilik. Exams mula 9.00 pagi. Nak 8.50 pagi baru kami berjalan menuju ke kulliyyah.[Cari pasal?!Agak la..]

Masuk2, banyak la pula halangan. Nak masuk ikut pintu belakang, exams asst. tu tak bagi masuk. Suruh masuk ikut depan. Okay~~

Nak masuk ikut jalan tengah, ada penghadang pulak..Dugaan2...Sabar2..

Akhirnya, kami dengan beberapa brothers[QS jugak??okay~~], terpakasa la masuk melalui pintu hadapan. Rupa2nya, memang derang buka satu laluan tu je.Huish3...Ok.

Hm, masuk je KAED Gallery, kami pun memulakan operasi mencari tempat duduk berdasarkan seat no. Yang tertera dalam exams slip.

Ok, fine. Satu kerja lagi. Sabar2. Zoom in, zoom in, jumpalah kelompok pelajar QS. Zoom in, zoom in, aku nampak no. yang hampir dengan no. aku. Then, zoom out balik as macam tak nak caya tempat aku katna. Last2 duduk je la. Habis tu nak duduk mana. Redha2. Yang penting, jawab exams! Okay.

_Situasi menjawab exams_

Dimulakan dengan Bismillahirrohmaanirrohim dan do’a.

Macam biasa, aku akan rangka jawapan dalam kertas soalan dulu. Itulah yang aku buat dalam setengah jam sejak mula aku buka kertas soalan.

Lepas tu, dengan kekuatan yang diberikan Allah, aku menulis jawapan dengan agak yakin. Alhamdulillah, hasil usaha+tawakkal+do’a.

Kesimpulannya kat sini, aku just nak menaip yang aku tak berapa habis study [plus, asalnya memang tak minat subjek ni] subjek Econs ni. Tapi hasil tawakkal aku pada kekuasaan-Nya, alhamdulillah, aku dapat menghabiskan hari pertama exams ku dengan agak jaya dan yakinnya.Alhamdulillah..Aku girang! (“,)
