The amount for the candidates studying her local would be different and of course still A LOT compared with other scholarship applicable only for local studies!  |

I think we've all been in the education line to know that unfortunately, senior lecturers do not get senior salaries. tectonic study where? Is it related to the oil and gas industry? I believe tectonic studies is more related to shifting of the earth's crusts rather than being directly related to O&G. |

They do accept local institution, only IPTA applicable if am not mistaken. This due to the facts that my colleague won the YDPA scholarship.but whichidiot will try so hard for the scholarship and go local..

Less restrictions from society/government (academics in general tend to be left leaning folks, in contrast to more right leaning people who dominate this country) |

QUOTE(MizZue @ Aug 19 2010, 04:04 PM) in malaysia you could do it up to 6 years long as well as in USA, in Australia its 5 years, mean while UK is 3-4 years 22 already taking phd? that's so young..but i doubt the quality of your thesis writings..since you're still very young & short of experience..but, you could finish it earlier. im full time studying..if you are doing it part time, it will take like ages to complete your phd..BUT, you could try Research Assistant post for some extra money while doing the pHD. Apart from journal paper, preceedings and patents, i do find myself some time to read some good books Im 22. I take pHD straight away after finished my 1st degree.. now Im in my second year phd.. doing well so far.. (:  Added on August 19, 2010, 4:07 pm the interview is depending on the panel.. its the usual interview..just like NSF.. wish you best of luck This post has been edited by feekle: Aug 31 2010, 05:55 PM |

QUOTE(CarroTT @ Sep 1 2010, 01:29 AM) tompang lalu, aku mau tanya sikit arr dari koko dan jiejie sini arr I place Problem Statement in Introduction chapter. Right before I explain Objective of Study.normally u guys write Problem Statement, is in the Literature review or Methodology chapter arr ? or sumwhere else ? oso arr when wan to cite more than 1 journal arr, how arr ? i wrote liddis APA stylo (Saltmiras & Lemley, 2002; Neppolian et al., 2004) korekt arr ? About citation, that's correct. But I suggest re-confirm with your supervisor as I noticed even when everyone follow APA guideline, they still have their preference, whether the earlier or later version. And pay extra attention on where to italicized like et al Like, the latest version of APA guideline when I do my FYP states that if 6 or less names, cite everyone like (A, B, C, D, E & F, 2010) but my supervisor insist on (A et al., 2010). |

No smart ppl will come back to Malaysia. The opportunity for them isnt there. Even for smart bumiputera. Those lazy ones will come back because they have easy life here.
Dont judge ppl's ability because they are young. Many bright kids already proffesor at 22-23 age in other countries like US What is Problem statement? i never come across. |

Quality of writing has nothing to do with "life experience". Its determined by your command of language and understanding of the subject. If say a 15 year old "child genius" has an excellent command of the language of writing (I'm assuming its English here), he could write something on par with a 50 year old on the same subject, provided the subject is a wholy theoretical one. |
