Bismillahirrahmanirrahim – In the name of Allah The Most Gracious and The Most Merciful.

Seperti yang dijanjikan, first of all, I’ll tell you about the overview of Audiology in IIUM Kuantan Campus.

Audiology by Syarifah Nur Aqilah Sayed Alwi

Department of Audiology And Speech Language Pathology is the one department in Kuliyyah of Allied Health Sciences. It frequently known as AUDIO and the students in this department will be known as AUDIO STUDENT. Once you step in this kuliyyah, you will find everything what being questioned in your mind.

In our Kuliyyah, there are 5 departments,

·         Department of Audiology and Speech Language Pathology

·         Department of Optometry and Visual Science (DOVS)

·         Department of Nutrition Sciences

·         Department of Diagnostic Imaging and Radiotherapy

·         Department of Biomedical Sciences

Before I explained about my course, please tell yourself why you choose Audiology? Whatever your reason, I hope you will say that you choose Audiology because of Allah. This is the first question that you will ask by lecturers once you enter the class. Be prepared with the answers soon.

First of all, let’s I tell you about this course in terms of history. The Bachelors of Audiology (Hons) is offered under this department starting the academic session of 2004/2005. So when you enter Kuantan in this department, you will be known as GEN9 of Audio Student, Batch 2012/2013. Actually as the first year student, I don’t have power to tell you about audiology as I also don’t have more knowledge in this course. As we are learner, we will know everything time to time.

There is only 3 IPTA that offered this course, UIA, UKM and UITM. For the IPTS, I didn’t know how much this course had offered in. You may check and do some research about this course later. As I know, mostly students of Audiology in UIA get the jobs, except students who stopped their career and get married. I want to tell you one interesting story, there is an interdepartment wedding; student 3^rd year Audio and 4^th year Opto. So sweet, right? Oppsss, back to our discussion…

As student of Audiology, they should know the objectives of their course. Soon, they will able to fulfil all the objectives according to UIA mission and vision.

The department offers undergraduate educational programmes that prepare undergraduates for professional and research careers in the profession of Audiology and Speech & Language Pathology.

The objectives of the Department of Audiology and Speech Language Pathology are:

1.        To produce quality graduates in Audiology who are competent in the prevention, diagnosis and rehabilitation of hearing and balance disorders

2.      To nurture future audiologist with the ability to integrate faith (iman), knowledge (ilm) and good character (akhlak) in their life and audiology practice

3.      To contribute to the improvement and upgrading of the Audiology field in Malaysia

4.      To excel in research and publication towards the enhancement of Audiology field for beneficent of the ummah

Once you read these objectives, I hope you will more excite to be as AUDIO student. Before starting the lecture, you will meet your seniors and get a long brief on this course. You may ask more questions about what you don’t know.

There are 2 components that you will study; Department Core Courses and University Required Courses. Below is the sequence of courses that you will learn in four years of study.

YEAR OF STUDY	NAME OF COURSE
YEAR 1	SEMESTER 1:         LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT          BASIC LINGUISTICS SEMESTER 2:          INTRODUCTION TO PHONETICS          BASIC COMMUNICATION DISORDERS          ACOUSTICS FOR AUDIOLOGY AND SPEECH SCIENCES          ANATOMY, PHYSIOLOGY AND NEUROLOGY FOR AUDIOLOGY

For year 1 and year 2 students will learn more on theories. When they enter year 3, they will practise what they had learnt in year 1 and 2 in the hospital. So as my seniors said to me, please remember what had learnt in year 1 and year 2 as our lecturer will ask us when in clinical study. We will do clinical in the hospital in Pahang area in year 3. So you will know how an audiologist works.

As I had taken UNGS in CFS IIUM, so our schedule is not packed like my seniors. So you have more time to do many things, swimming, jogging, outing with your friends, going to talks, involving in societies and many mores. You will know later…

As I am 1^st year student, I’m in the process of learning. 2 subjects that I take now, Language Development and Basic Linguistics, are very interesting and make open your eyes, ears and mouth. You will study about the language, sound of the alphabets, how language develops from the baby until adult, component of the language and many mores. These subjects are important for audiologists as they will practise what they studied in year 1 to their patients. Good news for all of you, if you are not good in Physics, you may choose audio as audio just only have little parts in physics whether than opto.  

About the number of students in audio, audio is the least number of student that kuliyyah had. For 1^st year, there are 16 students, 3 boys and 13 sisters. For 2^nd year, there are 16 students. For 3^rd year, there are 20 students. For 4^th year, there are 15 students. Because of the number of student is less, the lecturer will remember your name and faces. So if you sleep in the class, the lecturer will remember you until the next semester. And the bad news for all of you, you will never escape the class as the lecturer will recognize student that absent on that day due to the least number of student. So please put away your niat to escape the class.

As the conclusion, kita merancang, Allah jua merancang. Dan sebaik-baik perancang adalah Allah. Kepada adik-adik, pilihlah course yang betul-betul menjadi pilihan adik-adik. Kami, abang2 dan kakak2 di sini hanya memberi just a short brief about the course, tetapi yang menentukan adalah diri adik2 sendiri. Seek for the Allah’s pleasure and ask Him to give the answer if you don’t know what course you should take. All four courses in this kuliyyah have their own strength. Good luck in your interviews that will come soon and all the best.

TULISAN TANGAN YANG TAK SEBERAPA - butterflybuddy

Ini adalah overview Audiology in IIUM Kuantan untuk junior ALLHS di CFS IIUM.

Aku bukanlah orang yang layak untuk memperkenalkan audiology tetapi ini hanya sekadar panduan untuk adik2 dan sesiapa sahaja yang ingin tahu what Audiology is.

Cuti semester 1 tak lama lagi akan menutup tirai, bermulalah kembali kehidupanku sebagai seorang pelajar. Semester baru dengan course subject baru ditaambah dengan azam baru. Aku teringat akan tazkirah yang disampaikan oleh seorang ustaz sewaktu di masjid; ada tiga golongan manusia iaitu:

1. Golongan yang berjaya - iaitu manusia yang mengamalkan "hari ini lebih baik dari semalam"

2. Golongan yang rugi atau terpedaya - iaitu golongan manusia yang mengamalkan "hari ini sama seperti semalam"

3. Golongan celaka - iaitu manusia yang mengamalkan prinsip "hari ini lebih teruk dari semalam"

Aku mahu jadi golongan yang pertama. Golongan yang Berjaya dan golongan yang mengamalkan prinsip “hari ini lebih baik dari semalam”. Cemerlang seseorang bukan diukur dari tingginya result, cemerlang pointernya, namun result itu adalah manifestasi dari usaha kita. Jom buat terbaik demi ALLAH dan ISLAM. “Sesungguhnya Allah suka melihat hamba-Nya yang melakukan pekerjaan dengan tekun (teliti).” (Diriwayatkan oleh al-Baihaqi dari A’isyah r.a.)

Semester baru dengan subjek baru ditambah dengan azam baru. 

Mahu jadi insan yang cemerlang dunia dan akhirat. 

Mahu membalas segala jasa dan pengorbanan abah dan mama. 

Mahu menjadi seseorang yang berbakti buat ummah dan ISLAM. 

Membangun, bergerak di atas jalan ISLAM. ISLAM is the only way of life.

InsyaAllah, untuk budak-budak Audiology, 5 department core courses will be taken.

Antaranya, Human Structure & Function 2, Anatomy, Pyhsiology and Neurology for Audiology, Acoustics for Audiology and Speech Sciences, Introduction to Phonetics and Basic Communication Disorders.

Belum ditambah University Required Courses lagi. Jadual sem depan lagi padat dari sem lepas. Semoga aku dapat adapt and adopt. Tak sabar untuk meneruskan sesi pembelajaran di sem depan, tetapi perasaan sedih juga kerana terpaksa meninggalkan family. Ana uhibbukum fillah jiddan jiddan. Walaupun umur saya sudah meningkat, dari adolescent ke early adulthood, tetapi saya masih ada sifat kebudakan itu. I’m sorry; I should be a matured people after this…

Habis bercerita untuk semester depan, back to the memories of sem 1 with the lecturers and friends.

Bercerita tentang memori sem lepas, sangat laa banyak, apa-apapun saya tetap gembira kerana diberi peluang untuk belajar erti kehidupan.

Menyertai segala aktiviti, talks aka ceramah, society dan sebagainya memberi aku nilai-nilai yang berharga. Aku masih ingat sewaktu aku diletakkan di dalam unit Da’wah and Tarbiyyah Bureau, kami, 1^st year diberi peluang untuk mengendalikan satu daripada program under Da’wah dan Tarbiyyah Bureau iaitu TROI (The Rise of Islam). Aku diberi jawatan sebagai SU aka secretary programme. Ini adalah pertama kali aku mengendalikan program, serius banyak kelemahan yang aku lakukan kerana aku dari 0% yang tidak tahu apa-apa. Serius aku tak pernah bergerak kerja, memegang jawatan setinggi itu dan perlu bekerja bersama brothers. Saya masih dalam proses penyesuaian diri bekerja dengan brothers almaklumlah 5 tahun sekolah perempuan, masih sukar untukku berhadapan dengan mereka. Apa-apapun aku telah cuba sebaik mungkin untuk bekerja dengan mereka semua. Alhamdulillah sekarang aku dari 0%, yang tak tahu apa-apa telah bertambah peratusnya untuk menjadi seorang yang tahu apa-apa. Yang penting kita belajar dari kesilapan dan teruslah melangkah andai diri jatuh tersungkur. Ok! FULLSTOP, diharapkan program ini menjadi ingatan bersama.

 Bercerita tentang lecturers Audio, serius lecturers saya sangat BEST and AWESOME. Love them so much. Semester 1 2011/2012, kami kehilangan lecturer untuk subjek Language Development. Yes, she’s very dedicated person. Miss Azrita. I’ll remember her for the rest of my life as audio student. First impression sewaktu masuk ke kelas Language Development, saya sangat takut dengan miss. Miss selalu soal kami, dan selalu juga nama saya yang akan kena untuk menjawab setiap persoalan yang diajukan. Saya akan selalu mengulangkaji subjek miss sebelum ke kelas sebab takut kena soal. Bila teringat memori itu, rasa hendak tergelak. Sebenarnya saya tak reti nak cakap omputeh macam kawan-kawan saya yang lain. Terbelit lidah nak cakap omputeh nie, adoyai, apa-apapun saya mencuba yang terbaik. After the mid-term break, she said to all of me that she’ll leave us and further her studies to UK (x silaplaa…). We are happy for her but we are very sad to berpisah dengannya.

We had a party for her. I hope one day we can see her again. I love her very much. Thank you because you are such a good lecturer, tetap mengajar untuk memberi kefahaman kepada kami. I had made a video for her as a present for her, hope she will remember all of us.

Ini pula adalah video untuk 1^st year audio, untuk tatapan 4 tahun akan datang.

Menyertai khalifah training 2011 adalah sesuatu yang tak dapat aku lupakan. Antara pengajaran yang aku dapat ialah :

“Untuk menjadi seorang Khalifah, seseorang itu perlu mempunyai tiga element penting iaitu ; aqidah yang teguh, ibadah yang sejahtera dan akhlak yang sempurna”.

“Apabila seseorang itu telah mengucap kalimah syahadah, maka dia adalah DAIE”.

“Dakwah itu bukan tugas ustaz-ustazah tetapi tugas setiap orang”.

 Bercerita tentang 6A1D, ikatan ukhuwwah kami semakin hari semakin rapat.

I love all of them.

That’s all from me.

With lots of love,
