Process

ii) Puan Awatif needs to get teaching feedback from her students. The teaching
feedback consists of three elements; personality, teaching strategy and teaching
delivery as shown in Figure 2. She collects data from the student surveys before
analyzing it and presents it in the table and graph form as a report. The mean for
each teaching element also needs to be included in the report. She submits her
teaching report to the management at the end of semester by hardcopy and also in
CD.

Miss Bavini. Design

Every day, Mrs. Ling constantly assesses the Support and security
safety of the system.
