ABOUT ME
My name is Hanis Farisha Fathanah Binti Kamarul Ariffin, CS240 3A. I'm from Ampang. I have 4 siblings – all girls and I’m the eldest. My father’s occupation is businessman and my mom works at Majlis Pembandaran Ampang Jaya as an accountant.I appreciate art. I love to go to the museum and art gallery because I feel safe, nice and inspired when I look at the art. I do think art, poems and music can change one’s life.
We’ve told to do presentation about facilities for disabled people in FSKM. In this assignment, I’ve learnt to be alert in my observations to look for similarities, differences, as well as unique and distinguishing features in situations and problems.
I’ve learnt about having courage and self-confidence in this class. For our second assignment, we did public speaking and talk about topic that we choose in front of class.
I’ve learnt to talk about myself, to describe myself as our first assignment. It’s really feel that I was telling my own life to myself and it was a good thing for me since I always thought I’ve lost myself in this 20’s years old of mine. Its felt great to write on what I like about myself and what I hate about myself since I always want to improve myself to be a better person.

For IT Week, my groupmates and I were assigned to do report for RTK (Rumah Titian Kasih). For this assignment, I’ve learnt to be grateful for what I have in my life. Also, I’ve learnt to be open and receptive to my groupmates’ ideas. http://cctrtk4u.wix.com/creative-thinkers

Does this course have an effect on you as a person/student
With completing Creative and Critical Thinking class for this semester, I was able to benefit from a variety of new things from the class, as well as refresh my memory on things that I already knew, just needed a reminder about. The biggest hurdle in the class for me was time management. I’ve always been a night owl. I’m not a morning person, so it’s hard for me to come to the morning class with so much energy and full spirit. Also, I’m a procrastinator and always have been, so completing assignments on time was and still is a challenge for me I have not come to a full solution to this problem yet, but I did make changes in my life as to how I can manage time management. I don’t think realistically I will get over procrastination anytime soon, but I can manage it.
What do you learn least
To be honest, this class didn’t really give me any new revelations about anything. I was already aware of most of the issues we discussed in class, such as the characteristics of creative people and barriers to creativity.

How would you redesign this course?
If I could redesign this course, I would say no to final paper. I think creativity can’t be measured by examination. We already lose too many creative talented people by defining intelligence through exams that are wholly inadequate and constricting.
I always thought that I would've learn more than what we’ve learnt in school or diploma. Since this course is about critical thinking, I’ve always want to know how other people think about problems happened in the world's today. For example, I want to know other opinions about LGBT who freely choose to live celibately. I want to freely discuss with my classmates their opinion on how society teach girls they are sexual objects and it is their fault and boys are uncontrollable sex machines, which is also girls’ fault. I want to know their unpopular opinions about music, feminism, religions, society and even politics happened in Malaysia and all around the world.

What do you learn best
The highlights of this course for me would probably the first assignment which is, write an essay about myself. I’ve always enjoy expressing myself through art more so than I do in any other medium. There’s almost no better way to express what’s really going on inside of my head, heart, and overall life than by writing. It was fun to be able to take my thoughts and feelings and turn them into it
