Mr. Ridha Omar

Now I want to talk about one of the Graphics and Multimedia (GM) lecturer which is Mr. Ridha Omar. He is Deputy HOD for GM faculty which is one of the departments in College of Information Technology (IT). He teach me Computer Modeling and Creativity last semester which is my second semester in degree. Actually he is such a nice lecturer who likes to help students and very friendly too. Normally if i faced any problem not only about studies, I will go and meet him to get an advice from him. Moreover, his class is very enjoyable because he likes to make jokes in class and share some of his experience which is interesting so that i don't feel sleepy in the class. However, I enjoyed his class nicely.

Mr. Ridha Omar achieved   two academic qualifications which are Bachelor of Computer Science and MIT (Computer Science). He is now a senior lecturer in UNITEN which teaching Computer Modeling and Creativity, Multimedia System Interface Design and Social and Professional Issues.

He also has done his researches:

• Usability study between Tangible and Graphical User Interface Design in Computer Augmented Reality Environment.
• Realistic Visual Cues for Synthetic Computer Generated Objects in Computer Augmented Reality Environment.
• The development of a test-bed system using Augmented Reality technique for teaching Engineering Drawing to form 4 and form 5 students in Malaysian Vocational Schools.
• Computer Augmented Reality Engineering Mechanics Learning System (CAREMeLS).
• A Software Engineering Tool for Process Modeling and Software Risk Management.

Miss Masyura Ahmad Faudzi

I am here to talk about one of my Graphics and Multimedia lecturer -  Miss Masyura Ahmad Faudzi. She teaches me Introduction to Computer Graphics in this sem (1st year 3rd Sem). Miss Masyura is from  Graphics and Multimedia Department - one of the department of College of Information Technology. Miss Masyura has achieved two academic qualifications of  M Sc. Advanced Computing (Global Multimedia), University of Bristol in UK and B. Information Technology (Hons.), Universiti Tenaga Nasional, MALAYSIA. 

Miss Masyura is now a lecturer that teaching Principles of Programming and Introduction to Computer Graphics in UNITEN. She also has done researches:

• Development of Pervasive Computing Services In Campus Environment (completed)
•  Malay Linguistic Text Steganography (completed)
• Information Strategy Research Group (on going)
• Biometric Research Group (on going)
• Computer Literacy and Performance in Programming Courses: Survey and Analysis Among UNITEN Students (on going)

There are also some publications of Miss Masyura:

• Zailani I., Marina M.D., Azimah A.G., Masyura A.F., Rina M. A.(2010). Problems In Learning Programming Courses In Malaysian Higher Learning Institutions. Teaching and Learning Seminar 2010 (TLS ‘10)
• Nurhaniza B., Sharifah Mumtazah S.A., Asma S., Rina M.A., Masyura A.F.(2010). Study Of The Statistical Properties Of Dynamic Features For Genuine And Forged Online Signature Samples. 3rd International Conference on Computer and Communication Engineering (ICCCE’2010)

Miss Masyura also got Silver Medal for Malay Linguistic Text Steganography (My Stegalink), Malaysian Technology Expo 2009 (MTE).

I like to go for her lecture because her lecture will not make me feel sleepy and she gives lectures in a detail way. Although my class only has eight people, Miss Masyura also teaches well and explains clearly to us. She is closed to us very easily like talking, joking with us during lecture because she doesn’t want us boring in her class.

We also enjoy learning during her lab class. Miss Masyura teaches us a lot of new knowledge and gives us some exercises to practice more. She also like to discuss with us when we facing some problems during lab time.
