Based on my experience doing this Online Test, I can say that this is a very interesting kind of test compared to the tests we have done in the class even though my marks are not very good for my first attempt, but I shall be back. Doing this test can tell how much you know about computers and ICT. This test gives the marks you gain and it will tell what band you are at right now. There are 3 levels of questions. The first level is the basic question, novice, and expert question. This test are in Malay language so it quite difficult for me to understand some of the terms that are used in computer language in Malay is so different than the regular terms that I usually used when using the computer. For example the term Hamparan elektronik actually means Spread Sheet in computer term when we use the Microsoft office.

In my opinion, this test is good but there are certain weaknesses that this kind of test has. I think that the test must use English language because I can hardly understand certain terms of the computer when they are converted into Malay. Online test is not very secure because test takers can and might cheat in the test. For example, they can ask their friends, finding the answers from the internet, using hand phone to SMS their friends, and lecturer and so on. This situation is absolutely different compared to the test in a class or lecture hall, which is more secure because they have invigilators to watch the test takers. Besides the low security level in online test, the test does not show the correct answer for the questions that have gotten wrong. This is really disappointing.

After attending all the lectures and tutorial and also doing all the assignments given, I rate the LANGUAGE AND ICT course with the scale of 10/10. This course is very informative, useful and interesting. Even though there are still assignments to do, but it is not a heavy burden for me. Besides that, this course has opened my mind and my heart on the many usage of ICT and how ICT and language can be combined to help me as a student of English. One more thing, my lecturer for this course, Datin Dr. Norizan is a good lecturer especially in helping people like me who rarely uses computers to understand what needs to be done. Thanks to her, I learn more about ICT and also its usage in developing my English language skills. For the time, I would like to suggest that it is better if this course do more practical rather than theory. I also think that the final exam for this course should be replaced with self development practical itself. As the goes by for me, so does this course, but my interest for ICT and language will never left my mind and my heart. I can only hope that this course can help other people like me in the future and to all the lectures who are teaching this course to always keep on improving this course from time to time and thank you for your teachings. Last but not least, I would also like to thank all my friends that’s been helping in this course and don’t forget to study for your finals. Always remember that our journey in this world is still long and never give up until that journey is over.
