Article Review Form Name : John Christopher Student Number : 00000026722 Faculty & Class : Physics Engineering Class R 1. Title of the Article: The Importance of Acoustic Quality in Classroom 2. Author(s): Sogol Sarlati, Zaiton Haron, Khairulzan Yahya, Nadirah Darus, N. Dimon, P. Athari 3. Explain in two or three sentences why you have chosen this article I have chosen this article because I would like to know the acoustic quality in classroom of UMN. This topic is also in my interest and part of my major in Physics Engineering. 4. Explain briefly in four of five sentences what the article is about Classroom acoustics have a great effects on the speech intelligibility of the communication happens in the class. The authors compare the acoustics quality between two classrooms at Faculty of Civil Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. Room with bad acoustics quality are likely to increase the number of students who felt severely anxious, also depression and stress. Therefore, to improve the acoustics quality in the classroom can be done by covering the interior wall with kenaf fiber, whose sound absorption coefficient is higher. 5.

Give your personal comment on the article as a conclusion of your article review I like how the authors present the article in a good way. They write it in a formal language as how journal article usually would, but they also write it briefly so doesn’t take much time for the readers to understand the whole article.
