Third Week of Lecture of BSM3101 with Dr. Parames

This week, the lecture was very interesting. Dr. Parames taught us about the prokaryotic cells, virus, viroids and prions. Actually, we have studied about this chapter in our foundation year but this time, the exposure is differ because Dr. Parames taught us more than what we have learnt.

Dr. Parames asked us to sit in our group with our group mates. Dr. Parames gave us a task for us to make a mind map about "The Cell Theory" and then discussed among our group members. Arthur was one of the members that gave so many ideas on our task. We also need to do a mind map about similarities and differences of prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

We also learned about prokaryotes like archaea and bacterias. Archaea like halophiles, methanogens and thermophiles. After that, she taught us about acellular organisms such as virus, viroids and prions. I was actually terrified by the fact that prions are abnormal proteins that cannot be sterilized by normal method. It is very extreme. 

After class, we went to the Computer Lab for a short quiz. It was really quick because the questions are easy and it was just a short quiz with some questions.

I really like the way of Dr. Parames approaches us with lots of group works.
