Week 8

IT IS THE HOLIDAYS! WOOHOO! First week of the Mid Semester Break. Of course it wasn't all jolly good and fun. Still had to do some assignments but at the same time, had abit of fun. Got to know Auckland even better now since i've been walking around alot going to new places and stuff. It's been a fun first week of the Mid Semester Break. Hope the second week would be the same.

End.

Week 7

The day to submit our first assessment has arrived. Yes, this week is the week where we have to hand it our assessment. Did minor touch ups before i handed in my assessment which i worked with Dheenesh to complete. We both were happy with the assessment and also happy that is was over. One assessment down and a couple more to go. Sigh.

This week's class, we sat down one group at a time with Mr. Niranjan to see and mark our first assessment. I suppose we did well. We did got 33/35, so no complains there. However was abit upset on why we lost marks but the reason was valid and there's nothing we can do about it but to learn from our mistakes i suppose. Hope to do better for my second assessment. Overall, it was a good day knowing that we've accomplished those marks. No complains and was satisfied with it. Now to focus on the second assessment. 

End.

Week 6

We had our panel discussion this week. It went well if i do say so myself. Maybe? We'll see how it goes. All i know is i've tried my best, gathered all the information needed and shared in during the panel discussion. During  the panel discussion, i've learned alot of new things about the workshops in New Zealand. Some are old news but some are quite new and interesting to me. For example, one of our classmate's workshop had like guided pathways made out of nuts and bolts to guide their customers around the workshop. This i find very interesting and quite a good idea as well. The discussion went on for a couple of hours and Mr. Niranjan had to end it due to his schedule. Hope i get good marks out of that discussion, we'll just have to wait and see i suppose.

End.

Week 5

We managed to go to the workshop this week for our first assessment. The workshop is called D.C. Trial and is located nearby the Glen Eden train station. If you are wondering, yes, we took the train to go to the workshop. The workshop focuses on overall maintenance like servicing, overhauls, electrical and more. We got a chance to meet up with the owner of the shop, a really friendly guy. Even though he was busy with his work, he let us walk around the shop to look around and snap some photos for our assessments. I believe we've gathered enough information to complete the first assessment.

For this week's class, we didn't do much again. Just discussed about our assessment progress and also Mr. Niranjan reminded us about the panel discussion next week. He even explained to us what going to happen and etc. I guess that's it. 

End.
