Page97 TESTIMONIAL BY THE HEAD OF DEPARTMENT I am honoured to give this teaching/supervision testimonial to Assoc. Prof. Ts. Dr. Mohamad Faizal Ibrahim for him to apply for the Teaching Category Vice Chancellor's Fellowship Award (AFNC-KP) in 2022. Dr Mohamad Faizal is an academic staff who is active in teaching and activities with students. Despite teaching various bachelor and master level courses, he is also involved as a committee in developing the Master's program with coursework, the New Curriculum Review Committee for the Biotechnology Bachelor of Science with Honours Program, coordinator for activities with the community under the course BTC4904: Service Learning in Biotechnology, Coordinator Anugerah Pelajar Cemerlang for the department, and Committee in most activities with students in the department. In addition, he also always provides various innovations in his teaching techniques and gets good feedback from students. He is very committed in carrying out his responsibilities as an educator and always takes up the challenge in succeeding in any tasks given to him as best as possible. I believe Dr Mohamad Faizal is an excellent candidate to be considered as a recipient of AFNC-KP in the young instructor category in 2022. Thank you. Assoc Prof Dr Mohd Zulkhairi Mohd Yusoff Head Department of Bioprocess Technology Faculty of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences Universiti Putra Malaysia

I am grateful to be given the opportunity to experience and learn this course since it develop my soft skills and I get to be closer with my classmates Very interesting course! But also takes a lot of effort and time. Overall satisfied and a new experience was gained. I love this course and Prof Su and Dr Faizal and everyone Interesting and different from other courses I hope this course will continuously carry out the project out of universities and can involve with the communities and families. A very informational course that helps us in understanding more about the applications of biotechnology knowledge in daily life This course not only improved our soft skills, but also improved our teamwork and relationship among the coursemates. I find that this course is fun and better when handling it f2f with the community
