by Dr. Vishalache Balakrishnan (PhD from Victoria University in Wellington, NZ)
- your research proposal is a good indicator that you are prepared for to uptake your PhD/MSc
- audit papers e.g. Research Methodology which can help you in your research
- attend conferences/seminars and share your work by presenting to experts in the field to get feedbacks/advices/suggestions to validate your work.
by Prof Datuk Dr. Abdul Rahman Idris (PhD from Manchester, UK)
- PhD is an acedemic pursuit
- there is a huge difference between the education system between the US and the UK.
- US-more opportunity to learn whereas in the UK more to apply and contribute
by Emeritus Prof Dato Dr Abu Bakar Nordin (PhD from USA)
- PhD is not solving the world's problem, but rather than looking at a world's problem from a tiny window. Must describe your window properly - that is called conceptualize framework
- present papers in seminars and conferences
Thesis Management (what the examiners look for during viva?):-
- thesis- hypothesis- to test whether to accept/reject?
- u want the readers to know your point
- managing the format (is given by most universities/institutions)
- contents - test - background of the theory
- from the background of the theory, produce a focul theory that is the sythesis of the thesis (an inverse pryamid)
- from the focul theory, churn the conceptualize framework.
- a theory explains and predicts
- data realibility and validity
- contribution - development
Tips given by Dr. Visha's supervisor:-
1. plan your chapters well - crucial
2. type in 500 words everyday - make it a habit to type in anything but not lesser than 500 words
3. virtual library -Endnote - extremely important to build your reference library
4. keep a good group of friends - who can cheer and keep you motivated when tides are rough
5. ethics & integrity - be honest as its your work, take pride in it! never plagiarize!!if youre good in language, you are at an advantage of rephrasing intelligently.
6. enjoy your journey!!! :)
