Miss Farah Ahmad Zaki
My writing Lecturer + dedicated educator
Miss Farah is such a passionate lecturer. I still remember when I could not understand a term and she repeated the topic until I understood. She would give clear and long explanations on a certain topic. She once said that she is generous with feedbacks and certainly she is! She would give genuine feedbacks to ensure the quality of our writings. I definitely used my brain a lot during classes with her. My first class for this semester started with writing class. I indeed remember that she asked the whole class to prepare our brains.
My Notes
The best note taking method for writing is taking notes during class. I will read the slides and watch recorded videos on the topic that will be taught by Miss Farah. I always make sure that I come to class prepared. Taking notes during class will maintain my focus and ensures that I do not miss any important information. It is crucial to focus in writing class. Miss Farah is particular with terms and definitions. I would ensure that I take notes of terms for specific phrases.
Experiences
For the mid term examination, I revised through notes and slides given by Miss Farah. I also watched recorded versions of our classes on topics that I did not understand. This method helped me a lot as I am a visual learner. Besides that, I watched videos on Youtube to enhance my understanding in hard topics.
​
Miss Farah also conducted night classes for outline consultations. As I mentioned before, she was generous with feedbacks and it was true! She sacrificed her hours of rest just to check her student's work. It was unbelievable that there was a class until 2A.M. I was shocked as I could see the dedication from her.
