My First Lab Supervision Experience

It has been a really busy day for me as my schedule was packed from morning till night. During the afternoon, I will be taking a small group for a lab project. Just to share some of my thoughts for my first time experience as a lab supervisor.

I have always dreamt of imparting or sharing knowledge and skills with other people, that was what inspire me to be a lecturer. Today was my first chance and experience as a laboratory project supervisor. I was assigned to take a group of students for lab project and I must tell them my expectation and so on.

At first, I thought that it will be easy as I can skip the theory part as the lecturer should have cover the topic in his lecture. However, unexpectedly, there is a change in the teaching schedule and the topic that I am taking for the lab project (it is a Vibration project) will only be covered after the term break.

I have long forgotten about Vibration and I must teach the theory before starting the experiment. Luckily that I kept some of my handwritten notes which helps in explaining some of the theories. Above that, I told them my requirements for submitting the reports and so on.

Along the way, I chit chat with the students and I shared some of my working experience with them. It is very interesting experience as I love to share with others.

Anyway, I will be taking another lab tomorrow, got to sleep early then. Good night.
