  1. WELCOME TO ALL INTRODUCTION THERMODYNAMICS CMT 251/ CMT 408 LECTURER Assoc. Prof. Dr. Jaafar Jantan a.k.a. Dr. J.J. Room 516, FSG Voice: 5544-4593 or 019-355-1621 Email: Thermofsg@yahoo.com Web: http://www.uitm.edu.my/faculties/fsg/drjj1.html Assistant Lecturer: Raja Razuan Raja Deris Voice: 5544-4607

  2. My conceptual understanding in physics is weak COURSE EVALUATION

  3. I memorized most of the equations in physics and not really understanding them. COURSE EVALUATION

  4. I found thermodynamics to be a very difficult course. COURSE EVALUATION

  5. The course outline/syllabi which was distributed at the beginning of the semester had helped me focus my learning and structure my time appropriately and should be employed in all classes. COURSE EVALUATION

  6. The textbook helped me learn thermodynamics better than if there is no textbook. COURSE EVALUATION Thermodynamics Cengel & Yunus 3rd Edition

  7. My command of English comprehension is not good and I have difficulties understanding the textbook, lecture and the questions in tests and quizzes. COURSE EVALUATION

  8. QUOTES LEARNING “I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think” - Socrates. “I never teach my pupils, I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn’ - Einstein. “Education consists mainly in what we have unlearned” - Mark Twain.

  9. Physics - the basic science LEARNING PHYSICS “…. But introductory physics that emphasizes computation misses something essential - comprehension - a gut feeling for the concepts…..” Paul G. Hewitt, Conceptual Physics

  10. Physics is Hard LEARNING PHYSICS "Physics = Memorizing Facts Memorizing Equations Plug-and-chug"

  11. Effective Learning “..Memorization is not only useless but counterproductive..” LEARNING Whitaker, 1985

  12. LEARNING METHODS Peer Facilitating Mentor-mentee cum peer facilitators session with Dr. JJ, Friday for 3 hours. New set of FC’s Self Assess Reinforcement + quiz: with all students Wednesday for 2 hrs Concept reinforcement & problem solving with FCs. Sunday for 4 hrs Discuss Outside class Reading assignment Due + Self Assess Peer FCs discuss with peers (4 peers) on Tue for 2 hours. Concept Maps.

  13. LEARNING METHODS • Mentor - mentee session • Facilitators (FC) (between 15 -20 pupils) meet me for about 3 hours on Fridays. • A coordinator is appointed – those with highest CGPA. • Coordinator responsible to assist peers to clarify confusing concepts. • FCs must read the textbook & simplified notes on the week’s topic. Concept Maps. • FC evaluate themselves using specific operational/outcome objectives on the week’s topic.

  14. LEARNING METHODS • Mentor - mentee session - Reinforcement • Facilitators (FC) meet me for about 4 hours on Sundays. • Lunch provided (not during Ramadhan). • Concepts are reviewed and discussed. • Selected examples or problems are solved. • Plenty of two-way discussion initiated by the mentor.

  15. LEARNING METHODS • Peer Facilitating session • Facilitators (FC) meet with their assigned peers (peers have submitted reading assignment) & initiate discussion. • Peers must self-assess using specific operational objectives before start of discussion. • Review & discussions (often knowledge sharing) by FC. NO TEACHING. • At end of session, peers go through the specific outcome again for post-assessment. • Peers evaluate the FC. • I just go around from group to group to answer questions.

  16. LEARNING METHODS

  17. LEARNING METHODS • Reinforcement With All Students • A lecture/discussion concentrating on overview by me by using the questioning method + concept maps. • Short 2-3 minute group discussion whenever I seek for answers. • Evaluation - 15 minute quiz focusing on ability to draw graphs, express ideas, read tables and write mathematical expressions – minimal or no computation.

  18. Quotes Confucious I hear and I forget LEARNING I see and I remember I do and I understand

  19. I feel that the consultancy, peer-discussion learning cycle format is a waste of time. COURSE EVALUATION

  20. I feel that the traditional transmittalist method (lecturer talk in front and student listen and taking notes) is the best way of learning as compared to the peer-facilitating learning-cycle that is presently used for m this class. COURSE EVALUATION

  21. COURSE ASSESSMENT Refer to the course outline/syllabi for details
