Microbiology- Reflective Journal

3/3/2016

I have learnt a lot of things in microbiology class although its just the first week of the semester. What was unexpected was we don’t study solely from the slides but we studied something around us and Dr. Wan always keep us updated. Dr. Wan used every single advanced technologies to make the lessons interesting like using tablet and camera to record the lessons and made full use of the learning spaces online for us to share our thoughts and learn new stuffs. Dr. Wan also never stop to amaze us by introducing a lot of new terms and organisms that we might never heard before. What impressed me were the watermelon snow and Thiomargarita namibiensis.


The watermelon snow looked incredible like a cluster of bloodstain on the snow but it tasted like watermelon. However, I have a question. Since it tasted like watermelon, can I eat it and will it cause any effects to me if I do so?

I’m also quite amazed when I know Thiomargarita namibiensis can be seen by our naked eyes. This is because we were told that bacteria were small enough that we can only see them under microscope. 

I really like microbiology class and I believe that in the future I will gain more knowledge than what I think I will. However, there were some feedbacks that the Wi-Fi in the classroom and hostel are too bad that we can’t access to the internet to search info, log in to certain learning spaces and watch video as we wish to. So, I hope that there will be some improvement to ease the learning process.
