MEASUREMENT 2

For this semester, just like the previous semester measurement is also the core subject which is known as measurement 2. In this semester, this subject includes topics of work above the ground. We will be calculating work such as walls, external walls as well as internal walls, ceiling, staircase and many more. This provides us more chances to expand our knowledge on measurement principles.

For this subject, we will be having mid-term test, one assignment and one final exam. Mid-term test would be 25% in total as well as the assignment. Final exam stands the most mark which is 50%.

Throughout this module, I find that it is very important and challenging as this subject will be very useful in the future for us. I have learnt a lot of things and has gain more knowledge on measurement.  For example, there will be dividing strips if there are changes of floor finishes and drops at certain areas and need to be given attention when doing the calculation. In this module, there is a group assignment which requires around six members. The descriptions in taking off for the topics in this semester are much longer than what we had learnt, so it was quite challenging and it made my memorizing skills improved. Since this is a group assignment, communication and teamwork is the most important element that I have learnt to produce our work more effectively and efficiently. Last but not least, I would like to thank our lecturer for this module, Ms Habizah for helping us so much in completing our assignment and studies. This module has brought us a lot of useful information and knowledge which is beneficial to us as a future quantity surveyor.
