The Online Test

For our sixth and final posting, we were to discuss on several things or activities that we have done throughout the course. First, in our last tutorial, which was held last week, we did an online test to test our knowledge in the computer learning and skills. As for me, I only managed to get, 21 over 30 quite a disappointing score compared to my fellow friends in the class. When Datin mentioned about a test, it was already quite nerve-racking for me. That was in the lecture hall when she mentioned about the online test. However, once entering the lab and after being right in font of the computer screen looking at the questions, I didn’t feel nervous at all. It was even quite funny for us because the questions were in Bahasa and some of the terms seemed so weird and alien to us. Not to say that we’re really good in English and use high-sophisticated words but they were simply weird and we had to ask Datin to translate the words for us. To be honest, I really didn’t know the answers to some of the questions even if it were in English.

Now, to discuss on the ability of the test; there are a few things such as the test gave immediate feedback on the results after completing it which is good because we don’t have to wait or worse receive emails just to be informed on the result. Plus, the test has been set to randomization which means that everyone in the whole lab or even if all the students in the Language Centre do the test at the same time, each will have different sets of questions for them to answer. This can definitely make sure that the students will do the test seriously for they cannot get away by copying other peoples answers. On the other hand, one of the security features is the students must insert their identification number and password before they start the test. This security system however could not make sure that the person doing the test is truly the person whose I.D number was filled in. Therefore of course being the sneaky students that we are, some of us can just ask our friend to do the test for us. Besides that, a few things that I would like to suggest to improve the online test is that the test should include ways to check on the answers that we have gotten wrong and also make an English version. It could definitely benefit in many ways.

With that, on a scale of 1 to 10 I give the online test a six meaning being informative but could be more informative and friendly. To write a comment on the course, I think it is already good and has definitely given many information but the problems with the server in the lab classes could really effect the learning process.

I want to thank Datin Norizan for all the knowledge and support that you have given to us and I really hope to be under your class soon once again soon.
