phd...oh phd

Being a phd student is not easy....time management is very important, mind managent also gives a bit contribution and self management is the foremost........playing with this and the success is yours. InsyaAllah...

A few months i've been struggle with fuzzy and being stuck in the middle at last after a long discussion with dr. zalinda who's the fuzzy expert in UKM, we decided that the fuzzy techniques is not suitable for my research. I've to change to other techniques and it's takes make about a months to search for the suitable and best techniques to represent the learning style...my research is a bit tough.....with no data set to do data mining techniques as AI techniques which need a dataset.....and it's makes my mind spinning.......a bit conflict....i've talked to kak aya who's one of phd student she's said we are towards phd..because if its conflict its phd.....i'm just grinned and our conversation stops there....

Now i've to looked back and find the new techniques......it's seems i've to step backward and do the LR for the techniques..the morale is if you try to come out with a techniques..do test everything....find why you want to use it? where you can use it? then it's o.k...Please Allah gave me strength to overcome this problem......perform the mild usage first..... i've discussed with cta my phd buddy and we've talked about an hour to get my self esteems back and not feel down or give up...now i'm not giving up cta...thanks for the advice buddy.....hope that we will struggle untl we reach the success........Phd.

My supervisor urge me to write to the journal...she said i've to be multitasking.....do more then one things at one time....unfortunately i'm not like that...but i have to try and be multitasking while i'm searching for my new techniques, i've to write an article and do my mild test to my 1/2 finished system........i'm trying to be multitasking..... i'm trying...i'm trying dr.....

It's takes about 1 month to get consent from a ministry of education, state education depatment, district education depatment and school to do the research.....i've just wondering why it's take so much procedure and time for just only 4 hours research work....? They suppose to support the researcher like us......because our research is the contribution.....

All this thing comes at the same time....it's makes me feel down.....and a bit i feel like quiting but after re thingking about others , sacrafice, and off course my gratitute to KPT...i've to take this as a challange...

during my way to UKM this morning, i've saw three birds walks happily and i've just said to my self....what a wonderfull situation they're having....and i'm just wondered what are their realtionship? how am i going to find out is through the research.......the techniques is experiemental and the findings is their relationship....then i've just realize how important the research are....research is the contribution......research is the way you find something.......and this makes me fell that my research is important and i've to finished it..........

SUPERVISOR AND SUPERVISEE RESPONSIBILITY

A few days ago i did recieved an email from the v.dean, a lecturer and my beloved supervisor regarding the article : attached here:-

How to be a Terrible Graduate Student gh@cs.toronto.edu (Graeme Hirst)21 May 94 19:26:43 GMT------------------------------ - Come to graduate school only because it allows you to postpone yourentry to the real world.
- Assume that your advisor acts solely in their own best interests, andnever in yours.- Assume that your advisor (being more than 34 years old) doesn'tunderstand current research, and is not (and never was) as smart as youare.
- Never come to a meeting with your advisor prepared with an agenda ofthings you want to talk about, and never take notes during the discussion.(After all, little that your advisor says matters, and anyway, if it wereimportant you'd remember it.)
- Never take notes when you read a paper or book, or record any of yourideas in a research diary. (After all, if it were important, you'drememberit.) Corollary: It is not necessary to keep complete bibliographiccitationsfor anything that you read.
- Expect your advisor to give you a thesis topic and tell you exactly howto carry out the work, step by step. Corollary: If your thesis is notgoingwell, it's your advisor's fault, not yours.
- Regard any ideas that your advisor gives you for your thesis as yourown exclusive property, and present them to the world as if you alonethought of them.
- Frequently cancel meetings with your advisor, giving little notice (ornone at all), whenever there is the slightest excuse to do so.
- Assume that you can write up the final thesis in a month or two.
- Don't bother checking any of your results or proofreading anything youwrite; that's your advisor's job.
- Regard your graduate education as a 9-to-5 Monday-to-Friday job.
- Give the draft of your thesis to your advisor on a Friday, so that theycan read it over the weekend and give you feedback on Monday.

what's the motive of sending this article? to motivate student, to condemn student or to???????

for me yes i agree with this article but the supervisor also have the responsibility too towards the supervisee...... why

- supervisor should more alert to their supervisee, be fair and care about the supervisee
- try to spend a little time to entertained a student especially those who've already make an appointment
- be friendly and helpfull
- look interest on supervisee research and looking forward to finished it
- supportive
- reply an email sending by supervisee
- be a good listener
- be a good friends
- be a good educator (sure educate........)
- be a good facilitator

as you know we're still the student no matter how "old" we are and how "terrible" we are the responsibility to modeled us the be the "best and good student". That's why we are here......looking for knowledge and guide.............
