UniKL Xchange Students: Nor Akmar Binti Atan

I was assigned to Computer Department and placed directly under the dean of the department. Most of the time, I will sit in the lab with the tutor and other students. Right now they are working on a project that I’m not familiar with which is mostly involving LED and the new algorithms that they develop in to promote low power consumption and cost effective LED. For the time being I was not directly assigned to any part of their project. However, I was coached by one of the senior student here on java programming using tools that im new with; eclipse.

Monday's Seminar

Friday's Seminar

Here I communicate mostly in Korean and English. In my labs I will use Korean most of the times. I use English when I was with other international friends or the Korean friends that fluently speaks English. I was quite surprised when they can understand my Korean. I pick up all the sentences and the words from all the dramas and tv programs that I have been watching since I was a teenager. And frankly speaking, knowing some Korean language before coming here was a great help as they rarely and completely unfamiliar in using English with each other. However it is quite hard for me to talk formally and to write a formal form in Korean as I only pick up the conversations part. But, as I attend the Korean language class, I tried to build up some skills in writing and speaking. Recently i passed the 1st part test of Korean language with 82.5% marks. The passing mark is 70%.
