Class Observation

Taylors UC mean what they says...

31 Mar & 1 Apr 08, I had the first class observation done in my teaching career. You know why I sounded so surprise by this exercise? Because..back 5++ years in KDU, it was not a practice in my class.

On 31 Mar, Janice (PD) and Theresa (HOD) came into my class at around 11.3oam. While the students only slowly walking in, the observers have already sat at the back of the class. I have no choice to start my lesson with only 80% of the class. The topic is "Operating Systems"... very technical ya! I started off really nervous. Come on!, who like to be observe? No one! unless u gila... hehehe. After awhile, I felt better, I become much natural and behave like in normal classes. I guest I have done a good job though because I earn a "thumb up" from Janice while she walked out from the room. :)

On 1 Apr, Mr. Guna (DPD) came. He came in after 15 minutes I started my class. The moment he came in, I can feel that my whole body getting tense, no choice.. I have to continue which I did. I was in the topic of "Decision Making", managed to convey all I planned to the observer who sitting at the back of the class. He was busy writing, checking the items on the paper, and more writing again... Scary! The session ended after 20 minutes.. Pheew... He left with just a smile.. Suspend right!

See, what an experience. I appreciate all that happened. It keeps me on my toe for my work despite of the stress it posts to me.

Anyway... looking forward for the post observation meeting to know my good and bad! :)
