16/9/2014
This is the first time i met dr wan zuhainis on tuesday at biotech seminar room 1.4. Dr allow their students to use technology such as smartphone,tablet to find information during her lecture . She told about the assesment which is we have test 1(10%),test 2(15%),SCL(30%) and participation (5%) .  I noted all this on my notebook . She asked to all students to register edmodo for turn in assigment and get direct information from dr and communicate with her at all time . On our first class she gave us first assigment which is to make a short video to introduce ourself and why we choose microbiology course or expectation on microbiology . We open padlet website to display our opinions,questions about microbiology . It just like discussion website . Then,we start learning using microsoft power point note but not all student have note . so we have to handwrite our note. I know the bacteria named deinococcus radiodurans which is bacteria that highly resistant to enviromental hazards . I learn about e.coli is a type of bacteria that normally live in the intestine of people and animals . I found out that e.coli 0157 can cause intestinal infection . Symptoms of intestinal infection include diarrhea,abdominal pain and fever . beside i learn about e.bola is a disease of humans and other primates caused by an ebola virus . The virus may be acquired upom contact with blood or bodily fluids of an infected animal. We looked on penicillum picture on slide show . The thallus typically consist of a highly branched network of multinucleate,septate,usually colourless hyphae . That is all i noted on my book . I feel very lucky to have dr wan zuhainis as my lecturer . She though us using fun learning method . TQ Dr :*

Dr wan showed us an amazing video that highly interactive on slide show . At first we dont know the point of this video but after she asked the group member for project adopt a microb we realize dr intention of showing us the video . she showed us how to use application using her iphone on one direction picture . then, she asked for question before we start learning to see the readiness of her student . we start lecture on normal microbiota . we learn the classification of prokaryote which are bacteria and archae . we knew that bacteria found everywhere with some are pathogenic . arche found in harsh environment like salt lake,hot springs a d hydeothermal vents at bottom of the ocean . arche can survive in extream conditioms . then i knew the differences between bacteria and archaea where bacteria present peptidoglycan in cell wall while arhaea absent of peptidoglycan in cell wall . then i knew the cell shape of bacteria which is coccus,bacillus,spiral shaped and vibrios . flagella also found at one or both cell poles or at several locations about the cell . cell different from inanimate object as all cells show metabolism,reproduction,differentation,communication,movement and evolution . then i knew the most famous yeast which is saccharomyces that are very important in food production such as making wine,bread and beer . they are unicellular and saprophytic fungi . dr remainded us to checkout blendspace on video bacteria as art . i learn about kingdom protista which can be divide into algae and protozoa . in algae we have phylum chlorophyta and phaeophyta . protozoa we have 5 phylum which is euglenophyta ,rhizopoda,cilliophora and apicomplexa . i knew that fungi feed on dead materials . fungi has 3 type of phylum which are phylum zygomycota eg rhizopus sp. ,phylum ascomycota eg penicilium sp. ; and phylum basidiomycota eg agaricus sp. besides i knew 5 group of e.coli which is ETEC,EIEC,EHEC,EPEC,EAFC . lastly i learn about the differences of procaryote and eucaryote . procaryote absent of nucleus,mitochondria,golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum
