Week 2

BMY3102 MICROBIOLOGY II
WHAT HAVE I LEARN?

This week we talk about the topic of fungi. We sit in groups and are given time to draw a mind map based on our knowledge without referring any lecture notes or our own mind map prepared before class. Within 10 minutes, we have to come out with a mind map. With the help of all the group members, we write in whatever notes that we remembered into a blank paper. However, the mind map is not said to be very complete as we forget some words and term. After 10 minutes, we swap our mind map with other groups. At this time, we will add on some notes that are haven't written in other group's mind map. After that, we correct some wrongly spelled term and improve the mind map. We swap again for second time and write on additional notes on other group's mind map. In the end, we get back our own mind map with full of information and notes. The mind map becoming more complete and can be use as reference when doing revision. From this activity, I know that preparing for class before attending the class is very important, and also able to contribute to the group. At the same time, we also know that team work is needed when come to study. We can learn from each other and share our knowledge together, and also improve together. 

After that, we discuss about how to transfer a thermophilic fungi to culture in the lab. We can collect the fungi into a thermoflask and bring back to the lab. We are asked about the step on culturing the fungi in the lab. We cannot do streaking on the agar plate like the bacteria we culture before. We given time to write the steps of culturing a fungi in the lab. We work ourselves in group to find some journal article from google.
