NuLab: Moving Forward


UPLB was one of the chosen universities honored to be visited by the two educational buses- The Science Explorer and the NuLAb- brought by The Department of Science and Technology- Science and Education (DOST- SEI) on November 11- 15, 2019.

The success of the The Science Explorer, led to the launching of the second science bus, the NuLab. It is primarily intended for senior high school students.
Equipped with a huge interactive board, individual monitor for students, laboratory-grade equipment, wireless sensors and more, nuLab offers a modern mobile learning environment that can help pique students’ interest in the sciences. It can accommodate 24 students in one session and hold two sessions per day.

The NuLab caters more scientific topics and offers simulation of activities that researchers actually do in the field. The facilitators were researchers and most of them are PhD degree holders.
NuLab tour was a great experience and has left a huge impact on the students to explore more about space science, entomology, mathematics, and science communication.

Beauty and Brain: CDCiklaban 2019

The College of Development Communication aims to foster the holistic development of the students through engagement in physical activities, and pageants. As the CDCIKLABAN was held last November 9 and 16, 2019 at Baker Hall, not only sports got exciting. The search for Mr. and Ms. CDCIKLABAN 2019 was also on fire!

Eight contestants (freshmen and sophomores)competed gracefully for the crown and all of them proved that CDC students got beauty and more brains. The pageant was divided into parts mainly; production number, sports attire, casual wear, and the question and answer portion.

The results of the pageant were a combination of the student’s choice of candidates and the decision of the judges. The crown for Mr. and Ms. CDCIKLABAN 2019 was awarded to Rudy Parel and Kriszia Prologo.

Looking Back

After a whole semester of gathering data, writing for different platforms and producing media contents, I am glad that I was able to work on the qualities and skills that I need to acquire as a media writer.

Through the different exercises and activities, I have learned to be more curious and inquisitive. Asking questions is important especially if you do not have enough knowledge about a topic or an event. Your curiosity will lead you to the information that you will need in doing your job right. Being intelligent does not mean that you just know a lot of things. This course has taught that this quality also involves sharing your knowledge to people and do not keep it to yourself. I also learned to be more imaginative. There were activities where we need to use our imagination to visualize the output. Although I still have to work on this quality to make my outputs more creative in the future. This can be achieved through improving my love for reading. From the beginning, we were always told to read a lot. I think this is still the quality that I need to work on the most.

During the semester, I further developed my skills in gathering data as well as validating, clarifying and organizing information. This was because of the laboratory exercises and Weekly Writes activities assigned to us. I still have to work on writing clearly and effectively through writing for different media. I am also hoping that I will be acquiring more knowledge and proficiency in the operation of communication tools and devices in higher devcom courses.

TIME MACHINE

If I were to go back in time as if this sem was only a FREE TRIAL I would consider so many factors that I would love to change. I admit that I take this sem easily as if I’m just playing but it turns out it should not be treated that way. There are a lot of things I am not proud of during the first semester.

Here are my top five actions I would tell my freshie self to have a productive and meaningful semester. This is also my goals throughout my stay in UPLB excluding the first semester because it is not something to be proud of.

DO YOUR BEST, TAKE THINGS SERIOUSLY

First and foremost, you need to do your best on the first day! I should’ve said this to myself earlier so that I didn’t forget that I am studying in THE University of the Philippines. I should’ve taken into consideration that UP is not like other school that you can take easy. As the university’s saying goes: HONOR AND EXCELLENCE.

MANAGE TIME WISELY.

               As a student that loves procrastinating, I should manage my time wisely so that I can use my time as effective as possible. I should set clear goals and have discipline and prioritize the things that is important and do other works ahead of time to avoid cramming also to use time effectively.

DON’T ACT LIKE A KID, BE MATURE.

               Don’t take things lightly as if you’re not a college student, focus on your goals and in achieving it. Act as your age and know what to prioritize. You should always know when it’s time for jokes or if it is time to take it seriously.

FAILURE IS NORMAL.

               You shouldn’t degrade yourself even if you have a failing grade, there is always a next time, a time for improvement. You did your best and that is enough, you do not need to prove yourself to others. Your goal should be to impart knowledge, not to impress people nor to brag about your achievements. People have their strengths and weaknesses, maybe what you are good at is their weakness and vice versa. Failure will teach you what you did wrong so that next time you encounter the same obstacle you know what to do.
