 REFLECTION:

By learning this subject I can understand what is actually teacher's responsibilities toward students to make sure students are educated.Besides,teacher also have to know how to work with school with the rules.

Encik Yusuf is the best lecturer for this subject.He give a great explanation through all the subject.He also guided us to do our assignment as well as he can.It was so lucky to have him as our lecturer.He is so talented lecturer.Besides teaching,he also always share his experiences to us that we can apply it into this subject.

First assignment,that is make this blog is very challenging to me because before this I did not have any blog.So,it is little bit hard for to handle this blog.But practice make perfect.So,I practice creating this blog also that is teaching by Encik Yusuf.

Second assignment,was not so easy but I can do it as well as I can.By doing mock teaching,I learn to teach students and get the experiences,It was so interesting actually and I am so happy with this assignment eventhough doing a lesson plan was little bit hard.

So,this is the last week before final exam.It is so sad that knowing this subject will meet the end.However,time will fly.So,I hope all my classmates and other students that take this subject for this semester can do their best in Final Examination.Goodbye :).Sayonara.
