Just met with my supervisors today. Have to fix many things

from chapter 1 to 3 all got problems, theoretical framework, significance of study, model, etc...

nvm la...

I just received a report from the 1st referee. I was so nervous when I saw the report in my email inbox. It consist of 4 pages of detailed comments and recommendations on how to refine my manuscript. Sounds like the referee got confused with the methodology part and recommend me to rearrange the whole section. Seems like so many amendments need to be done but again, that's normal I think. The next report will be from the 2nd referee.

^ No worries bro... its normal
Part and parcel of getting the final piece of art~

You're right

This is the first journal paper that is 100% written by me, that's why I'm nervous

I'm at stage 2 liao Omai >____<
Nice share~

im also stuck at 2nd stage...

Very common problems. You are lucky your supervisor never comment on chapter 2. All those problems (ie framework, significance of study and methodology) are not that hard to solve.

Haha, not entirely true, but nice comic.

Stage 2 here too

angone study
UKM PhD Corp Govrn ???

UUM is the one I know offering such degree.

hey guys. since most of you have or had experience with master or phd.

could you tell me briefly what is it really like?

somehow when i hear this 2 words master and phd. I just feel intimidated.

is it really hard like what people say? some people take master and phd for the wrong reasons.

If you're interested, patient and self-motivated, it's not that hard.

Life in masters by research/phd can be lonely cos you're doing your own research and majority of your friends already left student life. No need to attend classes like undergrad. Even if got class, it's very few. Only master by coursework/mba will attend class like undergrad.

Actually I've never been exposed to researching before so I won't know whether is it my cup of tea or not. So what happens after you've done your research? You get to patent your findings? If the research meets a dead end what then? Will I be able to graduate?

Are you sure you will be doing your own research? Based on other post here, most of them seem to be stuck in stage 2 (grad student) . Just saying

About the "stage 2: grad student", they are referring to their current stage which is in postgraduate degree (masters/phd). And at this stage, you can choose your own research project as long as your supervisor approved it. Of course you won't stuck in stage to forever.

Have you completed your bachelor degree? Usually in bachelor degree, you need to conduct a simple research and write a thesis (also known as Final Year Project) as a partial fulfilment of the degree.

I'm not sure about the patent stuff as I'm not in the engineering,IT, etc field. You need to come up with a result in your research and complete your thesis in order to graduate. If not, then you'll forever become a masters/phd student.

currently in my degree now. 1st sem only hahahhaa. long way more to go.

doing pharmacy.

It's alright. I bet at the final year you need to write a thesis in order to graduate. By that time, you can experience how it feels like of doing a research and writing a thesis. Masters/PhD research will follow almost the same procedures as bachelor degree, it just that they are much more rigorous.

You're now in stage 1. After bachelor, you'll go to stage 2 for masters/phd...and so on....

Just had a talk with my lecturer about masters and phd. He said I can do a attachment once my 1st sem ends. hmm sounds interesting

What is the attachment? A research assistant or something?

just to get an exposure to what is researching really about.

btw ... you took master/phd?
