REFLECTIVE JOURNAL TOPIC 1
Assalamualaikum W.B.T
Hello beloved readers, as all microbe's students have been asked to make a reflective journal for every topic in Microbiology's course, therefore I've chosen a blog as the medium to write it.
Before we're going to depth, I am Nurul Syafiqah binti Azhar (182757). First of all, it is such an honor to have a very capable lecturer as Dr. Wan Zuhainis to be our lecturer in Microbiology. Dr.Wan's talk had impressed me since in the early semester 1 on the first meeting between all students and lecturers from other departments in Faculty Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences at DKU.
So for the first entry, I would like to share my first impression in microbiology. Before I've been exposed to the contents of microbiology, I'm thinking "oh no, it must be a boring class because we're going to learn about the cell kind of thing again" No, I would say that i'm absolutely wrong. In Dr Wan's class, we had so much fun and within same time we learnt and gained knowledge.
We have used the technology and been exposed to many kind of education's ways of learning. We're needed to use the applications such as Paddlet, Blendspace, EdPuzzle and etc. Even in the class, we were also have to try and search the information by our self before the lecturer give further explanation about the current topic. These increase the efficiency in learning process.
So, one of the interesting fact in microbiology is to know how could tiny organisms give very big impacts to humans or animals either bad or good things. They are more in population they even can reproduce rapidly compared to humans but yet still cannot be seen with naked eyes. They are everywhere around us but invisible. It can be simply said, they are one of the powerful creation. Amazing!
Furthermore, we also got to know many kinds of microbes that we are not familiar with. Even we have heard their name before, but we did not know the special characteristics of the microbe. For example, mycoplasma is a bacteria while thermoplasma is an archaea. But both shared same characteristic which they can change their shape depends on the surrounding environment (unfavorable). Beside, Mycoplasma is the smallest bacterium in the world. They are even smaller than the viruses. What an amazing fact to know!
Moreover, we know that one of the characteristic of viruses is they are small compared to bacteria. But Dr. Wan had told us that there is the largest virus in the world (giant virus) have been found by the scientist at which they can be seen with naked eyes! The virus is called as Pithovirus or Pithovirus sibericum.
I love to know facts and like to discover things that caught my attention and make me curious to know. Many facts about microbe have been exposed in the first topic. I hope, I can learn the next topic with more interesting facts beside only learn based on the notes. I think, that's all for my first entry. Thanks for reading! Assalamualaikum.
