Personal Information

My name is Ling Wei Nie who from Miri, Sarawak. I’m studying semester 2 in Quantity Surveying at Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus. In this semester, I took 5 units in this semester which are Measurement 2, Construction Technology 2, Building Services 2, Site Surveying and Introduction to Law. I repeat Introduction to Law in this semester because I failed my Introduction to Law in the last semester. However, I still want to thanks to Taylor’s University allow me to take 5 units in this semester. 

Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus always create a lot event which related to Quantity Surveying in the campus allow student to get more experience or information about the future career. 

On 19^th and 20^th of April, I joined as a student helper of a conference that created by RISC-RISM-AALSM International Surveying Conference for Undergraduates 2013 in Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus. Really thanks to Taylor’s University to have this event at here and allow us to join as a student helper. This conference gives me a good experience and I would like to join this conference again in next semester. 

Measurement 2 (QSB1124)

From this unit, there are 2 lecturers in charge in this unit which are Mr Chee and Ms Habizah. In the beginning of the unit, Mr Chee taught us about the staircase structure and staircase finishes. To measure staircase is a bit difficult to me because there are lots of components have to calculate. Besides that, we have to imagine about the staircase from the drawing which given by the lecturer in order to measure a correct value of the staircase. 

We were having an assignment from the lecturer. It was a group assignment. From the assignment, we did learn and discuss about the staircase finishes together. We had an argument about the assignment during the discussion. We asked Mr Chee for clearer information in order to solve the problem we faced on to the assignment. Mr Chee completed to teach us about the staircase before the semester break.

On the week 8, Ms Habizah tough us about the wall elements, wall finishes, floor finishes and ceiling finishes. Ms Habizah is a lecturer who prepared everything for us before every lecture class. The lecture class paper that she prepared had included taking off paper, quarry sheet, dimension paper and Bill of Quantity as well. The papers she prepared are really helpful for the students. It makes us much clearer for everything that we learnt. Besides that, if we have anything that is not understood, Ms Habizah will give us more explain on the question.

The assignment that Ms Habizah gave is really difficult to do even though there are 2 people in a group. However, through the assignment I know that I am not hard work enough in order to do well in the final exam. Besides that, Ms Habizah will give us extra work as homework to let us do more practice before the final exam.
