Malaysia Postgraduate Workshop Series

In the process of conducting a research, we need to acquire skills in writing, analysis data and so on. Malaysia Postgraduate Workshop Series has organize workshops related to postgraduate needs. I had attended one of their workshop - Tulis Tesis Pantas with Dr. OT. I used that technique when writing my thesis - ya will share it here soon :).

SLAB/SLAI 2012

UM telah keluarkan iklan untuk SLAB/SLAI bagi tahun 2012 ni. Apa tu SLAB/SLAI? SLAB ni Skim Latihan Akademik Bumiputra/IPTA. Sesiapa berminat nak sambung belajar sepenuh masa boleh rujuk maklumat lanjut di sini.

Ramai cakap bestnya sambung belajar. Best memanglah best sebab tak perlu kerja 8 to 5. Elaun pun masuk tiap-tiap bulan. Memang flexible la. Tapi, banyak juga tanggungjawabnya. Bukan senang nak study bila dah berkeluarga ni. Lelaki mungkin no problem (sebab boleh balik rumah - mandi, makan pastu sambung study). Kita perempuan ni balik rumah banyak pula benda lain menanti - nak sedia makan, mandi anak, kemas umah, lipat kain..dan banyak lagi. Settle kerja rumah nak tidurkan anak - pastu memang kirim salam nak bangun dah sebab bateri dah flat.

Semangat memang kena waja dan kuat. Macam Ibu - kalau dulu pergi UM memang kat lab akan fokus siapkan kerja ikut schedule. So balik rumah memang fokus kerja rumah. Tapi sekarang memandangkan belum ada siapa nak jaga amani, so Ibu duduk rumah. Memang dugaan besarla nak study di rumah. Memang lagi best bergolek dengan amani :P.

Apa-apa pun azam kena kuat - lebih-lebih yang full research. Hati kena tabah. Setakat menangis seround dua dan rasa nak hentuk kepala kat dinding tu - err memang biasala. Kena banyak tawakal pada Allah dan doa supaya Allah permudahkan urusan kita. Besar pahala belajar ni dan lagi besar pahala bila kita menabur ilmu bila selesai belajar nanti. Insyaallah.

Planning Your Work

In doing a research, time is very important. You must know how to manage your time and how to plan it so you can finish your research on time. I will explain to you how I plan my time:

Step 1: List out your task

First, list out your task. You can list it out based on chapters or activities. Examples:

1. Chapter 1 (Based on Chapters)

•     Problem Statement
•     Research Objectives

2. Literature Review (Based on Activities)

•     Find Journals
•     Summarize Journals

Step 2: Plan when you target to finish the task

Refer to a calendar and state how long are you planning to spend on one task and put a milestone (the date) when do you target to finish the task. Examples:

Find Journals (3 days - 5/5/2010 - 7/5/2010)
Summarize Journals (30 days - 8/5/2010 - 8/6/2010)

Step 3: Use software to draw the chart

The chart is called Gantt Chart. You can draw the Gantt Chart by using Microsoft Project or Microsoft Visio. You can easily do step 1 and step 2. You can also add extra activities such as milestone (the day you will submit the task) or put link between task (it mean the task is related to each other). You can plan your work for a month, a year or for the whole research.

Step 4: Print it
Print the chart and put it on your board/table so you know what your target is. You may not achieve some of your target on time but by looking at it everyday it will remind you that you have a lot to do. I show you my planning or my Gantt Chart for this year.

Gantt Chart

This is how I planning my work. I hope I can achieve at least 70% of my target. So, how are you planning your work?
