Study period 2, 2005: First meeting with Supervisor

Hi there...

At 10:00am this morning, I had a meeting with Dr. Ian. In the meeting, we discussed several things. But first things first. I was changed yet to another room; From P2-07 to P2-20 (same floor). This is the room that Yati (a former Malaysian postgraduate student from UIAM occupied for 2 years). Along the way I met Dr. Barb. Well, she has asked about Habsah and whether she would be coming again this semester.

Actually that's not much discusion. It lasted about 20 minutes. He explained the reasons why I had to take Research methods and thesis writing classes was that they weren't sure about my English and statistical capabilites when they decided to approve my application. Anyway, I'm only taking these as audit classes. These would be useful to me too.

Next meeting? Maybe 1 hour per month or as need arises. Both Barb and Ian will sit together with me to avoid contradicting advices. He further explained about plagiarism, joint publication ownership, and general information. He's now the Dean of Teaching and Learning besides teaching loads. He lend three research methods books to me! Wow...fact stuff.

He was quite amazed that I could settle down within a very short period of time. He further noted that I should start writing and update literatures so that I could submit my research proposal by June. He would be coming to Singapore for a conference from 20-24 June 2005. perhaps by then he would drop by in UiTM.


See ye.
