Week 5

This week as known as week test. I’m having 3 test for 3 subject including this subject. The test will covered up from topic 1 until topic 4. If you were in my shoes. I’m so stress because it was my first time having a test in university life. I still confused what format it will be used. Not just a test but also I’m having some quizzes to answer and some SCL activities to do.

Learning topic for this week Division Cycle of Plant Cell and Totipotency. I never learned about totipotency before. Dr showed us tissue culture plant which tobacco plant. That plant was very cute. My friend snapped some pictures of it. But she was deleted that photos. So, I can’t show it to you. In this topic, we had discussed about totipotency and the factors that affect it and do comparison between division cycle of plant and animal cells. We learned about plant cell cycle in very details like cyclin-dependent kinases(Cdks), M-phase promoting factor, anaphase-promoting complex(APC). Just to share some information, totipotency is a ability of an individual plant cell/tissue/organ to regenerate into a whole plant under right condition and the factors that affect cellular totipotency are source of explant, nutrient media and constituents and culture environment. Actually  I quiet not understand about this topic especially about plant. But I’ll make notes or some revision in library to understand details.

After that, Dr ask us to play a game which she had uploaded in putrablast. I checked that game at the midnight and tried my best to play it. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the higher marks not because I don’t know the answer but I don’t know how to play that game. There’s no instructions on how to click and play that game. I’m so frustrated. I’m just play for one time because I have no time and to play it again. I’m sorry Dr. Secondly, we have to do another SCL Group Activity about Cell Division Concept Map in putrablast. I do it by myself because our  group didn’t have time to discuss about it.

Then, we have to go to the computer lab to answer a quiz on this topic. I was shocked and a little bit nervous because I didn’t prepare anything for this quiz even last minute preparation. So, I’m just answered with my own knowledge. But, I’m was happy because I’m doing a good job for this quiz and I didn’t expected for it.

The test is doing at last day which is in Thursday. I hope I can do it well in this test even it has only 10% carry marks. The objectives question is a little bit confusing before I think all the answer is correct. Maybe I didn’t well prepared for the topic 1 because most of the question came from this topic. But, nevermind I’ve already tried my best in this test and will fixed up in the next test.

No matter how busy of us, try to manage time well and have well prepared for the exam. Do not burn a midnight oil and take this matter slightly. Try to be serious person in doing something and try to explore more the things that we don’t know.
