Hi guys, updating my status. MPhil (Social Science) part time

Area: Accounting Education, Communication Avoidance

I finished the majority part of my data analysis, and handed the draft thesis to both my supervisor and co-supervisor. Hope that they will give me the green light so I can proceed to work completion seminar.

One paper written in late Dec 2012 was gracefully returned with comment that my paper might be too lengthy (i wrote 8.5k words oh). And that gave me an idea to separate it to 2 papers.

I also thought of doing 2 conference papers on top of sending 2 of them for journal review. Will only go for typical international journal this round. Been rejected 4 times  blush.gif

My scholarship will end this July 2013 (started July 2011), where the institution supports my minimum 2 years of study. Failing which to submit thesis for examination within the period, I'll need to fork out extra RM1000 per year for extension of study.

Hope that I can save up the 1k. =)
Hi Starbucki, you may consider negotiating with the institution in incorporating a statistician lecturer of another department as your (additional) co-supervisor, if you want to save the cost =) So long you can justify the need for the expertise.

==========

Hope all goes well with everybody's research. Once I completed my master, I intend to go for an internal grant  biggrin.gif

God bless Malaysia.
