4.0 SUPERVISION
Since I joined Razak faculty, I have been involved in many postgraduate supervision. Since then, I have
graduated one PhD, one Engineering Doctorate, one M. Phil, more than 40 Master Project, and
more than 20 Final Year Diploma Project including Executive Diploma Project students. While I
am supervising 9 ongoing PhD and doctorate students as main and co supervisor, and 4 ongoing
master project students. The area of study is within my expertise including ultrasonic,
ergonomics, project and operation management. Laboratory, fieldwork and survey are main
research methodology that I needed to be mastering in my supervision activity. List of graduated
and ongoing supervision is in Appendix C.
Different supervision styles need to be adopted to each student depending on their background,
knowledge and skill. I believe frequent communication, good mentoring, keep motivating and
good advising help student progress in their research. The other role as supervisor also to assist
student to get scholarship, apply research grant, manage them to join conference and seminar.
Other than supervision, I also involve in student industrial training. I have been attending many
industrial training visits, evaluating student reports and presentation. For student mobility
program, I was appointed as supervisor for internship undergraduate student from Islamic University
of Madinah Saudi Arabia.

6.0 TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
I had been officially appointed as educator since 1997 when Diploma Program Study UTM Kuala
Lumpur employed me as tutor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Prior to that, I was
an engineer in Production Department, Proton. As production engineer, I have been involved in
managing production schedule, quality control, process monitoring and most of the time I dealt
with production workers and other production supporting staff. In human resources
management, I have been given responsible to train new Proton workers in fundamental theory
of automotive painting and demonstrate Proton Production Department function and process
flow. Since then, I found myself have passionate in teaching and learning. This is the starting
point for me to embark myself in education. My interest, my personal personality, and my
industrial working experience has gradually influenced my view and philosophy on teaching. The
Below are my teaching philosophy:
I believe my fundamental role as an educator not only to deliver class materials, however
I have responsible to coach, mentor, guide, motivate and as role model to my students
in order to develop their scholarship in the field.
I have treated all students with absolute equality, regardless of age, gender, nationality,
intellectual ability or personal attractiveness.
I am always available on request and living up to this by devoting time to personal help
on demand.
I make it my business to try to understand the student point of view however erroneous
before attempting to give them my own. This means that when I do teach, I can choose
a conceptual path that leads from the students current understanding to a broader or
more conventional one.
I try to set a good professional example in written solutions and in conversation, by
always referring everything back to the standards of practice and industrial need.
Enthusiasm is critical to good teaching, and students have a sixth sense for it.
![Page 15: Teaching Portfolio Samira2018 · 2021. 2. 25. · TEACHING PORTFOLIO Associate Professor Ts. Dr. Mohd Yusof Md Daud Department of Engineering and Technology Razak Faculty of Technology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022090810/611be65d1b77b415e837bd39/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

I realize that teaching as a reciprocal relationship between educator and student. Both parties
need to play roles for the success of teaching and learning process. Follows are the primary tasks
of educator for their student:
Provide a conducive learning environment.
Provide required knowledge that helps student for their success.
Supply materials, opportunities, and feedback that helps them to learn.
Keep motivating, encouraging, and assisting all the time.
Be fair in all assessments.
Put yourself as their coach, friend, relative and parent when necessary.
To ensure the successful of teaching and learning, students should be having the qualities of success
people. These qualities of student are required so that the teaching and learning process more
effective.
Tolerant of different points of view.
Prepared for class.
Willing to work hard to complete course activities.
Willing to bring their life experiences into the class to enrich discussions.
Willing to share their outside experience to the class
Willing to apply what they learn in class for problem solving in real life.
Willing to adopt knowledge gained for new requirement outside.
My students are mainly working adult and with various working experience background, therefore life-
long learning skill is very important. As adult learners, they are usually having already
fundamental concepts of a specific course, thus the critical analysis and advanced problem
solving strategies need to be implied. For adult learning, the lectures have more challenging to
design assignments or project case study as they have vast experience in the particular subject.
Therefore, real industrial case study and current focus area requirement should be part
assessment content.
Writing is important skill for post graduate study. However, many postgraduate students have
lack capability in writing. By providing details guideline to write a case study report, allow them
to improve their writing skill indirectly. I also usually explain in class how to write a good articles
![Page 16: Teaching Portfolio Samira2018 · 2021. 2. 25. · TEACHING PORTFOLIO Associate Professor Ts. Dr. Mohd Yusof Md Daud Department of Engineering and Technology Razak Faculty of Technology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022090810/611be65d1b77b415e837bd39/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

or project report to ensure they submit a good quality of assignment. Good coaching is help much
to develop their writing skill, and to be faired I used this as my formative assessment.
Sharing knowledge and experienced among peer student is very useful in adult learning. I always
welcome student opinion and comments on a specific topic. I also encourage student to
participate in class discussion and allow them to even to critic their peers and myself by giving
better idea. This could develop their critical thinking, and initiate a new idea of in the subject
area. Up to the extend, the lecture should be in prior having well preparation. These steps help
myself:
Have a thorough knowledge of the subject area. I believe that I should be more
knowledgeable in each teaching subject, so that I should read a lot and understand all the
given problems.
Be well prepared. I always be prepared for each lecture session, willing to entertain in detail,
ideas or questions which arise spontaneously in the classroom. All lecture notes and
materials will be available in the e-learning at least two days before the class.
Make the subject interesting for the students and easy for them to learn. Be able to
communicate and discuss the interesting area of the course, significance of the course in the
program.
Make the student enjoy to study the subject and get involved in the classroom. Encourage
the students to get involve in some activities in the classroom such as demonstrating their
ideas in the group discussion, involve in online forum via e-learning, etc.
Understand that learning is an active experience. Students need to be active, not passive,
participate in the learning discussion.
7.0 TEACHING METHODOLOGIES
As the field keeps changing, one of the key goals in my teaching methodology is to provide a
framework for life-long learning. I aim to help students become reflective and collaborative
thinkers, and who are also effective communicators. As with any relationship, both parties must
be involved in its growth and development. Thus, I make an effort to learn every student name
and to encourage their active participation during class. The primary role of a educator is as a
facilitator, and in that role they should enable students to become responsible for their own
learning. I view teaching as a process of encouraging students to make connections between
![Page 17: Teaching Portfolio Samira2018 · 2021. 2. 25. · TEACHING PORTFOLIO Associate Professor Ts. Dr. Mohd Yusof Md Daud Department of Engineering and Technology Razak Faculty of Technology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022090810/611be65d1b77b415e837bd39/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Page | 17
their own experiences and the subject matter. I strive to foster in my students critical thinking
skills and problem-solving strategies.
Different lesson types and different learning styles of students in the class require different
teaching technique. At postgraduate level, teaching adult learners who already have fundamental
concepts of the course require advanced problem-solving, real case study analysis and adapting
fundamental theory to the industrial issues. I believe this is the appropriate approach for some
doctorate level courses such as Current Topic in Supply Chain Management (ERSA 1213), Current
Topic in Project Management (ERSA 1233), Current Topic in Production and Operation
Management (ERSA 1113) and Current Topic in Technology Management. These courses not
only require to discuss in depth in real industry problems and solutions, but student need to
critically analyze previous cases that referred from journals and Harvard Business School case
studies.
For master level courses, I am facilitating many operation managements related courses such as
Operation and Strategic Management (MRSE 1513), Technovation Management (MRSF 1223),
and Technology Management (MRSE 2593). Although these courses seem to be similar with the
doctorate courses whereby also need high level, however the cognitive should be slightly below.
Most the cognitive taxonomy of these courses are set at 5 to 6 according to Bloom. Again a
comprehensive problem based learning (PBL) is being implemented. Student are required to
analyze industrial related problem or issue and they need to response that issue using right
theory and able to provide alternative approach or solution. Sometime students are required to
answer a structured and open ended questions to apprise their cognitive and soft skill
achievement.
Project Management (MRSE 2583 / ERSA 1233), the course that give great challenge in my course
teaching. In teaching this course, a compromise among fundamental theoretical, real project
implementation as suggested by PMBOK and experienced project manager student in classroom need
to be harmonized so the effectiveness of teaching and learning of this course is achieved. To manage
a project, the manager should be mastering in multidisciplinary area ranging from technical
knowledge, finance, managing people, contract, law and regulation, stakeholder management,
project planning and scheduling, and risk management whereby the fundamental and real current
issue of these area need to be integrated. Many opinion and argument raised by experienced student
in which they sometime did not agreed the theoretical suggestion when they realized that real issue
are contradicting. As tutor, I always open this conflict to all student for further rationalize. At the end
![Page 18: Teaching Portfolio Samira2018 · 2021. 2. 25. · TEACHING PORTFOLIO Associate Professor Ts. Dr. Mohd Yusof Md Daud Department of Engineering and Technology Razak Faculty of Technology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022090810/611be65d1b77b415e837bd39/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

a promising solution are required by providing real project example that applied theoretical to be
success. Therefore, I need a comprehensive preparation for by searching current issue of project
globally and focus on their success strategies
Technology Management (MRSE 2593) is one of my favorite courses. Discussion and sharing
technology thoughts among students really assist them learn from peers and the lecturer to
develop communication and life-long learning skills and abilities to organize their thoughts, and
to develop rational arguments. The interactive instruction strategy allows group member to
outline the topic, compose and rewrite, and reporting or sharing findings. Technology
management is essential; this includes communications, marketing, product development, and
efficiency in reporting. Today, technology management is one component of the business
environment that allows companies to remain competitive in any market, even those with fierce
competitors.
Industrial Ergonomics (MRSA 2083) is one of important course in master of OSH program. This
course offers theoretical and practical approach to the student. By taking this course, student
can easily to sit competency examination conducted by DOSH Malaysia to be a competence
ergonomic risk assessor. Many alumni master OSH program are now become a specialist in
ergonomist in their industry and as a freelance practitioner. One of FTIR alumni, Mr Mohd Nizam
Esa, graduated in Executive Master Occupational Safety and Health Management (EMOSHM) in
2017 was appointed as managerial level position as soon as graduation by his company now he
holds ergonomic assessor competency certificate from DOSH Malaysia. A part from theoretical,
students are given in class activity and assignment related to ergonomic risk identification,
assessment, risk mitigation and solution as part of course assessments.
For undergraduate teaching, I always choose the appropriate teaching method based on nature of
the subject taught and class condition. For example, Manufacturing Process (SMJP 2113)
required student to understand the fundamental of material processing and technology used.
Manufacturing process is the study of the characteristic of material undergone process of heating,
deformation, cutting, and joining using various techniques and tool and machines. It is one of the
fundamental applied material processing to many industries in the world. Real case study need to be
exposed to the student in class or out class. For example, I always use video, industrial visit and
information search for a specific project as part of my teaching method. I also emphasize, the good
quality product of manufacturing much depends on selection of correct material, process parameter
![Page 19: Teaching Portfolio Samira2018 · 2021. 2. 25. · TEACHING PORTFOLIO Associate Professor Ts. Dr. Mohd Yusof Md Daud Department of Engineering and Technology Razak Faculty of Technology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022090810/611be65d1b77b415e837bd39/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

and optimizing these parameters will lead to cost reduction. Then, I imply the problem-solving
methods by giving them tutorials, extra exercises, assignments and quiz. I use other teaching
methods such as co-operative learning and projects for Engineering Mechanics (SRSD 2093) and
Static (DDPJ 1003). I encourage the student through the active- learning where they must talk
about what they have learned, write about it, relate it to past experiences and apply it to their
daily lives. They must make what they learn part of themselves.
The use of e-learning helps me to familiarize my students with the current web technology and
Internet. by using the e-learning students can get the lecture notes earlier, attempt the quiz,
submit their assignment, and even chatting with me. I also can update the assessment of
students frequently because the system is designed complete with the grades tool.
I tried to increase communication and feedback both to and from my students. I encourage the
use of office hours, and I make myself available at other hours as well. I have a small conference
with each student about midway through the semester. I tell them how I view their work so far
and try to give them suggestions for areas in which to improve, and I find out from them about
any problems they are having. I always hold as much as office hours per week, and I make myself
available at other times as well. I tell my students they are welcome to come by my office at
other times, and unless I have an immediate deadline or meeting or class, I will be able to help
them. My detailed schedule is stated outside of my room.
There are also few teaching methodologies that I used to ensure the learning outcome of course
was achieved:
Imply textbook and interactive slide in the classroom. The book provides a lot of good
examples industrial case or engineering applications.
Encourage students to use variety online and offline of sources of information, being
exposed to open source tutorial and educational video eventually provide deeper
understanding from those written in the textbooks or journal articles.
Use simple language to explain or describe certain concepts, give simple example to ease
student to understand certain concepts or fundamentals.
Discuss the solution of necessary engineering problems and case study in the classroom.
This could very useful to attract their attentions so that they are not sleepy, especially in
the afternoon session.
![Page 20: Teaching Portfolio Samira2018 · 2021. 2. 25. · TEACHING PORTFOLIO Associate Professor Ts. Dr. Mohd Yusof Md Daud Department of Engineering and Technology Razak Faculty of Technology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022090810/611be65d1b77b415e837bd39/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Page | 20
Motivate the student to learn or understand the certain concepts for their own good.
Compiled all the lectures notes, assignments, quizzes, tests, and final exams questions
(complete with the solution), and assignment for their future references.
Arrange an industrial visit, if necessary to expose students with real industrial issue,
current practice that they have learned in the classroom.
Give tutorials or extra exercises to students to increase their understanding and skills
of solving the given problems. Well explained the solution of tutorial in the classroom.
8.0 TEACHING STRATEGIES
In consider ways to make my lectures more impactful and engaging. I consider few teaching
strategies and techniques as below:
Small group teaching: Explore the facilitator skills required and how to avoid potentially
difficult scenarios when students are working in small groups.
Demonstrating in practical classes: Explore the key learning aims of practical classes and
how to get learners to effectively engage with them.
Flipped classroom: Consider a 'flipped' approach by asking students to watch video
content before the class session, and devote in-class time to exercises, projects and
discussions.
Active learning: Explore teaching and learning methods that put the student in charge
of their own learning through meaningful activities.
Problem based learning: A student centered approach, where students learn about a
subject through understanding and solving problems.
Work based learning: Providing students the opportunity to learn through real-life work
experiences.
Blended learning: Traditional classroom teaching combined with online learning and
independent study.
Student-centered learning: Students work together to support each other learning by
group class activity and forum discussions.
In the purpose of grading, I presume that grading as motivation to the student, not judgmental.
Student should embrace the taxonomy of learning as stated in course learning outcome by completing the
![Page 21: Teaching Portfolio Samira2018 · 2021. 2. 25. · TEACHING PORTFOLIO Associate Professor Ts. Dr. Mohd Yusof Md Daud Department of Engineering and Technology Razak Faculty of Technology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022090810/611be65d1b77b415e837bd39/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Page | 21
all course requirements. One of biggest challenges is to grade student works fairly and efficiently.
When I am grading my student works, I am not only considering the outcome itself but the
problems and limitations that student are facing to complete the assessment. However, for
excellent grade the student must demonstrate the specific quality of work and effect to complete
the task given. Whereas to get pass I am leveraging all assessment outcome and simplifying the
assessment process.
I generally have high expectations on my students. When grading the tests, I try to strike a
balance, be fairly strict while but not to demotivate the students. This gives a signal to students who
are not doing the work, or for whom the course material is too difficult, so that they can either
drop the course or make the decision to devote more time and effort to the course. Also, it gives
students a good idea of where they stand in the course, so that there are no surprises at the end.
Finally, it allows me to take other factors into account when I make up final grades, resulting in
increases for some students at the end of the course. I spend quite a lot of time in the process of
figuring and deliberating final grades. As a result, I very rarely have any student who thinks that
his or her final grade is unfair or unexpected.
8.0 DESCRIPTION OF COURSE SYLLABUS
For postgraduate teaching, the core and electives courses that I usually coordinate are Project
Management (MRSE 2583 / ERSA 1233), Supply Chain Management (MRSE 2543 / ERSA 1213),
Industrial Ergonomics (MRSA 2083) and Technology Management (MRSE 2593 / ERSA 1123). As
a course coordinator, I prepared the course outline, lecture planning, and post module assessment
paper for that subject. The detailed in course outline and lecture planning will help me to organize
and coordinate the subjects between the three program of study. The brief description of course
material is given below, and further detail of the course syllabus is available in the e-learning
system.
Project Management (MRSE 2583 / ERSA 1233) is three credit course aims to expose
managers and engineers on topics pertaining to project management. It focuses both on
the technical tools of project management and the human elements. It provides
quantitative tools and techniques in assessment and decision making, while exploring
![Page 22: Teaching Portfolio Samira2018 · 2021. 2. 25. · TEACHING PORTFOLIO Associate Professor Ts. Dr. Mohd Yusof Md Daud Department of Engineering and Technology Razak Faculty of Technology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022090810/611be65d1b77b415e837bd39/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

insights into human behavior and group dynamics in projects. Lesson on what makes a
project a success or failure will be discussed through structured teaching and case studies.
Supply Chain Management (MRSF 1233) is three credit course is designed for students to
gain detailed businesses in the entire chain of activities involved in delivering products to
the customer. Supply Chain Management (SCM) is the integration of activities of material
or service procurement, production process and delivery to customers. This course provides
the student with knowledge in applying latest business technology for supply chain systems
in operations to enable effective, efficient and timely information capturing, processing and
exchanges among various business entities in today supply chain environment.
Industrial Ergonomics (MRSA 20183) is three credit course focus on the study of interaction
between people and industrial systems and the factors that affect the interaction. The
system can be improved by designing user-interface to make it more compatible, improving
work environment, designing tasks for people compatibility, improving the way of work
organized to accommodate people psychological and social needs. This course covers
human system design, anthropometry, human physical and body mechanics, workplace
design, manual handling, hand tools, environmental ergonomics, human factors error and
safety, job design, and ergonomic analysis and assessment. Student are expected to
understand ergonomic principles, apply ergonomic methodology in industry, evaluate and
solve ergonomic related problem in industry.
Operation and Strategic Management (MRSE 1513) is three credit course is designed to
elaborate the areas for competitive advantage is operations, or the production and delivery
of both goods and services to the customer. Operations strategy ties up with the overall
business strategy while operations management ensures that the operations are executed
effectively, efficiently and productively. This course introduces students to the importance
of operations strategy, current issues, tools and techniques and analysis related to the design,
planning, development, control, and improvement of manufacturing and service operations.
Technology Management (MRSE 2593) is three credit course. Technology is becoming an
increasingly important determinant of success. While technology per se is important, it is
necessary for managers to be prepared to deal with challenges continuously being faced by
![Page 23: Teaching Portfolio Samira2018 · 2021. 2. 25. · TEACHING PORTFOLIO Associate Professor Ts. Dr. Mohd Yusof Md Daud Department of Engineering and Technology Razak Faculty of Technology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022090810/611be65d1b77b415e837bd39/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

organizations in either developing, acquiring or using newer technologies. This module
provides the student with an understanding of the depth and scope of managing technology
and concepts, as well as the challenges and tool to address them. Amongst others, it deals
with ethical issues in technology management, new TM paradigms, technology life cycles,
technological innovation, linking business and technology strategies, technology planning
and implementation strategies, acquisition and exploitation of technology, assessment and
justification for technology investments
For undergraduate teaching, I always coordinate and teach fundamental and advanced mechanical
engineering courses. The courses including Manufacturing Process (SMJP 2113 / DDPJ 2703), Mechanic
of Machine (DDPJ 3113), Static (DDPJ 1003), Welding Engineering (SMJP 4923). The synopsis of these
courses as follow:
Manufacturing Process (SMJP 2113 / DDPJ 2703) is three credit course consists of introduction
to manufacturing processes, common aspect in manufacturing, metal casting, bulk metal
forming, sheet metal forming, forming of polymer, machining operations, joining processes,
and the latest and competitive environments in manufacturing. The elements of precision in
manufacturing process are embedded in this course.
Mechanic of Machine (DDPJ 3113) is three credit course that continuation of Dynamics. This
course comprises of analysis of gear systems, belt, balancing and crank effort diagram.
Mechanical control device such as governors also discussed. This course also introduces to the
fundamental of vibration including free vibration and force vibration.
Welding Engineering (SMJP 4923) is three credit course. The purpose of this course is to give
familiar with the concepts and terminology in welding engineering. Student will understand
how welding design is built on a foundation oh heat flow stress, structural analysis and fitness
for services. In this course the students will learn the basic theory of various materials joining
processes including arc, resistance, solid state, and high energy density welding.
Static (DDPJ 1203) is three course. This fundamental of mechanical engineering course
introduces student with the concepts of the first, second and third Newton Laws. Each law is
applied to particles and rigid bodies which are subjected to a system of coplanar forces. A
general case of 2D and 3D force systems acting on rigid bodies are then analyzed.
For teaching and learning process, student is initially supplied with the lecture materials including
lectures notes, extra reading material, case study sheet, and course teaching plan. A registered
student can simply get these material from e-learning that I usually uploaded earlier in the
![Page 24: Teaching Portfolio Samira2018 · 2021. 2. 25. · TEACHING PORTFOLIO Associate Professor Ts. Dr. Mohd Yusof Md Daud Department of Engineering and Technology Razak Faculty of Technology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022090810/611be65d1b77b415e837bd39/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

system. For evaluation, I always use formative and summative assessment methods. For
formative, students are grouped consist of not more than 6, who are required to analyze a
specific question or case and come out with comprehensive solution. They are evaluated during
the session by peers and presentation. For summative assessment, most common method used
are tests, quizzes and post module assessment (PMA). Whereas for undergraduate student, they
will have final examination as main part of evaluation. I believe a good student who has scored
consistently high marks in their course work and final examination or PMA will finally score a good
grade. I monitor the result of potential students continuously throughout the semester to help
them score in their final examination especially for undergraduate. I also collected some of
student answer scripts for my future reference and data collection of my teaching research. I tried
to choose the best and the worst answer scripts for each class of subject taught. A few samples of
the best answer scripts for the subject taught are attached in every course file. I imply projects in
certain subjects to enrich the generic skills of my students. Several forms of project such as
preparing poster and model, subject investigation, case study and organizing a seminar. During
the seminar the best presenter and the best group project were selected and given a token to
encourage them committed with their projects. Example of my course learning outcome or
course information as in Appendix E.
9.0 EFFORTS TO IMPROVE TEACHING
Several steps have been taken to improve my teaching technique:
Learning from experience
Experience is the best teacher. I have a long way to go in my career as a lecturer. There are so
many things to do and one of them is to improve my teaching skills. I learn a lot from my own
experience as a lecturer. I keep on asking my students to give their comments on my teaching
and the way I have conducted my class. These comments help me a lot in improving my
teaching. I used to keep all the feed backs, run through everything and try to accommodate
their suggestions. I equally learn from other experience especially my seniors.
Learning is a lifetime effort
Everyone must believe in this. Lecturers in particular must be at the frontline of this effort.
Otherwise, we will be a Jurassic lecturer. Apart from attending professional conferences, I will
![Page 25: Teaching Portfolio Samira2018 · 2021. 2. 25. · TEACHING PORTFOLIO Associate Professor Ts. Dr. Mohd Yusof Md Daud Department of Engineering and Technology Razak Faculty of Technology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022090810/611be65d1b77b415e837bd39/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Page | 25
participate in courses that would enhance my professional value. I should not be seen as
someone normal, but I like to be seen as extraordinary. I have to think big. Whenever
opportunity occurs, I will try not to miss any of it. by this, I will be able to also guide my students
to think out of the box.
Through research and development activities
Research will increase the depth of knowledge and level of expertise. Through research work,
in essence, I will be able to understand better why a certain scenario happened in a given
manner. Whenever new issues arise, certainly, the challenge to formulate relevance solution
would come into picture. by that it is not only must we be able to work in a scientific manner
but we must also be able to exercise a good amount of creativity. in doing so also new methods
could be rediscovered. I am sure we can be a better teacher.
Publications
Publications is one of the best means of putting our knowledge, findings and analysis in a
structured manner. It also served as a sharing medium with our counterparts and colleagues
from all over the world who may share the same interests. It is a good medium of exchange of
knowledge and findings. That would certainly help me in my understanding over a new matter.
Besides, I also took several other steps to improve my teaching technique including self-
evaluation; courses, conferences and workshops attended; participation in program on
sharpening instructional skills; and writing articles and modules.
I engage in self-evaluation during each class session. I always reflect on what I do and do not do in
each class. Part of this process involves thinking back over the class immediately after the class
session has finished. by reflecting on the class session while it is still fresh in my mind, I try to identify
what worked and what did not work. I also try to identify the reasons why what worked did work
and why what did not work failed to work. This process of continual self-evaluation over the
quarter allows me to make mid-course corrections. I make a conscious effort to monitor the body
language and facial expressions of my students. If I notice a growing number of bored
expressions, then I consider whether to speed up the pace or move on to the next topic. If I notice
mostly dazed and confused expressions, then I consider slowing down and providing additional
![Page 26: Teaching Portfolio Samira2018 · 2021. 2. 25. · TEACHING PORTFOLIO Associate Professor Ts. Dr. Mohd Yusof Md Daud Department of Engineering and Technology Razak Faculty of Technology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022090810/611be65d1b77b415e837bd39/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Page | 26
explanations or examples. If I notice blank expressions, then I stop and explicitly tell the students
that I need their feedback on whether they are understanding the material and are becoming
bored or whether they are so confused that they do not know what to do or ask.
In order to improve, up-date and upgrade my knowledge in teaching and learning, I have also
attended conferences, seminars and courses at the national and international level. Among the
attended conferences, seminars and related courses are listed in Appendix F. I also presented
and published my paperwork in journals, seminars and conferences. The articles that I have
published help me to enhance my knowledge and increase my confidence in teaching the related
topics in class.
10.0 EVALUATION OF TEACHING
10.1 Student Rating Evaluations
I use the UTM Teaching Evaluation Form for every class at the end of every semester. I found these
standardized forms are extremely helpful precisely because of their standardization, they allow
me to track my performance over time using a consistent instrument and they allow me to
compare my performance to that of other lecturers using the same instrument. I believe that
both types of information are valuable. Tracking my performance over time allows me to
examine the effects of changes in my courses. Such feedback is critically important to me because
I continually try to change the courses to improve them each time that I teach them. My ratings
are generally quite positive when I almost always earn average ratings above 4.0 and also usually
earn average ratings above 4.5. Even though the ratings are generally positive, the evaluations
still help me identify areas that would benefit by change and improvement. Student evaluation
for last 5 years of my teaching is shown in Table 6 for postgraduate and Table 7 for
undergraduate respectively. I cannot retrieve few semester rating due to system problem or
student did not rate my class using e-ppp system.

10.2 Class Reflection and Constructive Comments
At the end of each class, students gave class reflection and comments. I believe that students are
mostly appreciate if they are satisfied with the learning process and they have opportunity
involved in sufficient interactive activities. The collection of class reflection form provided by the
Faculty Academic Office give me insights of student feedback on my teaching and how I am going to
improve my teaching strategies in future. The samples of class reflection and comments that I
consider as positive are as follows:
All topics were covered and explained thoroughly. Thank you so much.
Dr has been very helpful and the class was very interactive!

I also frequently ask peers to examine my course materials and provide me feedback. Not only
this has provided me specific comments and ideas, but more variety of teaching topics are
discussed. The moderation process as practice in UTM also very helpful to assist lecturers to look
into their assessment and course materials indeed.
11.0 PRODUCT OF TEACHING
I received the award of Excellence Service Award 2008 (Anugerah Perkhidmatan Cemerlang, Citra
Karisma UTM). In 2013, I received again Excellence Service Award for the second time in my service.
Although this is not a teaching award purposely, but this award shows some appreciation on my
efforts and commitment on my teaching and other teaching responsibilities because teaching is
my routine as a lecturer. In recent years, UTM Lead give certificate to lecturers who achieved Level
5 Blended Learning for their teaching. Since 2013, almost all of my courses had achieved Blended

12.0 SHORT TERMS AND LONG TERMS GOALS
As educator, I realize that the teaching and learning method and delivery currently is changing by
advancement of technology. To accommodate IR 4.0, teaching and learning styles need to be
updated accordingly. Therefore, my long term goal in teaching and learning is to fulfill the
requirement of future ready education. A new approach of teaching and learning that considered
as most flexible for all is micro credential certification. I plan to have compressive module in
![Page 32: Teaching Portfolio Samira2018 · 2021. 2. 25. · TEACHING PORTFOLIO Associate Professor Ts. Dr. Mohd Yusof Md Daud Department of Engineering and Technology Razak Faculty of Technology](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022090810/611be65d1b77b415e837bd39/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

ergonomics that fulfill micro credential requirement soon. This could assist many practitioner,
industrial player, and interested people to enhance a specific knowledge ergonomics and
simultaneously they can accumulate credits for later certification.
Another long term plan in my teaching initiative is to develop a massive open online course
(MOOC) for technology management in UTM open learning. I really interested to develop and
apply the MOOC because the online course aimed at unlimited participation and open access by
providing interactive user forums to support community interactions among students and
educators. Nowadays, MOOCs emerged as a popular mode of learning which often emphasized
open- access features, such as open licensing of content, structure and learning goals, to promote
the reuse and revising of resources. Some later MOOCs use closed licenses for their course
materials while maintaining free access for students.
I have been setting few teaching goals to be achieved in short term. First, is to update document for
my course files via e-learning as online learning become essential nowadays. I make full use of the
e-learning websites to supply extra readings and utilize it as means of communication with my students.
I found that my students were happy with the e-learning and it really helps them in their study. I would
like to have my personal web page which allow everybody to get access to my works, publications,
teaching materials and a personality inventory that I have developed during my doctoral study.
Second, to publish as many as possible good quality of student assignment and project. I also
want to improve and upgrade my teaching skills. I will try to practice the lifelong learning process by
keeping myself updated with new skills and technologies in relation to teaching and learning. I will try
my best to include all the necessary generic skills needed by the students in my teaching programs
direct or indirectly. To improve my skills in making good assessment, I will always learn from my
seniors and update myself through courses and attending related seminars. I consistently improve my
lecture notes and other teaching materials. They will be upgraded to compose teaching modules and
finally, after some revision, to turn them into books. To adapt to the changing environments, the
usage of information and communication technology is important and relevant. I intended to develop
courseware for my subjects.
