Reflection Episode V: Blog TLGA

The last and ultimate task which was given to us since the beginning of the semester is to create and manage a blog. This task is to be considered as the hardest and complicated of all but Alhamdulillah, with God's blessing we have done it, very well indeed. Every courseworks and lessons from the class were being posted in this blog, TeachLearnGA. We have chosen Grammatical Analysis as our blog's main theme and many notes and knowledge regarding Grammatical Analysis can be found here in this blog. We, the Khutaibah's army do hope that whoever visits our little blog, from students to educators, will gain some knowledge regarding Grammatical Analysis. Though, there are still many flaws that can be found here and there, but we do sincerely hope that you'll gain some real benefit from the TeachLearnGA.

Designing can be intriguing or devastating

The most challenging aspect in creating TeachLearnGA is designing the blog layout and templates. It is a hard work yet rewarding as well. When we get to see the final product of our previously hard works, we were so excited and enthusiastic. With hours after hours of trial and error, we finaly managed to learn a little bit in the art of blog designing - it's such a whole new knowledge for us. Being an English Language and Literature majors, we were not exposed to this kind of knowledge during our study. Aside from that, we also managed to learn how to design and edit photos by using Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. These skills are a plus, as designing and editing might come in handy later in our career days.

Teaching and Learning GA v1.0

Lastly, while creating and managing our little gem, we have learn something far more precious and cannot be gained only while sitting and listening in class. It is the values of cooperation, teamwork and friendship. Throughout this semester, we have learn on how to give and take, learning our own strengths and weaknesses along the way. These values are so important for us which it open our eyes greatly, as man cannot survive on his own, and friends and family are essential in the road to success. May we all be success in no matter what fields and careers that we have pursued, as it is to Him we will return to.

Final word, as most of us will be graduating and leaving IIUM in a matter of weeks, we would like to thank our ENGL 4740 instructor, Dr. Rozina who is very kind and passionate in guiding and teaching us. Thank you Madam for all the efforts that you have poured, insha Allah, only He can repay your favors in this life and the after. For fellow colleagues, thank you all for the cherishable moments that we have created and picked along the way during our studies. Do not forget our parent, family, friends, teachers, and Him, as they are the one who is responsible and made who we are today.
