The whole subject consists of one mid term test which is 20%, one group assignment which is 30% and one final exam which is 50%. For the group task, we are required to form a group and go to a site visit to study about the high rise building's fire protection system. Then we will need to write a report on the fire protection system follow by the requirement from Uniform Building By Laws (UBBL).
I have improved my lifelong learning skills as this subject has taught me a lot. I have gained much knowledge on this area. I know how does the whole fire protection system operate in a high rise building by having a case study on it. I have also get the opportunity to visit the pump room which is normally we will not have the chance to go in. Besides, I have also improved my communication skills because I have discussed about how to do the report with my fellow group mates in meetings. Every one of us will give our own opinions so that we can ensure that our report is fine. We also learn together when having site visit. We cooperate with each other to jot down all the points that the technicians has told us during the site visit so that we will not missed out any main points for the fire protection.
