(Prophet Muhammad)
In continuing our effort for educating and motivating our members toward research of distinction, we invited another young PhD speaker, Dr Kamariah Noor Ismail, Postgraduate Coordinator, Faculty of Chemical Engineering, UiTM, to share her winning strategies in getting a good PhD. Below is a report of the session prepared by Nazre.
ASPRG March 2011 seminar had been successfully conducted on Tuesday, 28th March 2011 at Al-Haytam Seminar room, Faculty of Electrical Engineering. The speaker invited was Yang Berusaha Puan Dr. Kamariah Noor binti Ismail, a senior lecturer at Faculty of Chemical Engineering, UiTM.
During her speech which lasted for almost 2 hours, Dr. Kamariah had enlighten the audience, comprising of ASPRG members and guests, with her wits mostly touching on her PhD experiences. Her talk covered from A to Z of her PhD life, starting from the interview session to obtain the scholarship until her viva and post-viva life. Throughout all the phases, she faced a lot of challenges but nevertheless she managed to tackle the obstacles and completing her PhD with flying colours.
In her sharing, Dr. Kamariah reminded all the participants to understand the concept of postgraduate life which rely on the “independent study”. Yet, the students must be alert with their surroundings which require them to interact with other entities such as supervisor, family, colleagues and peer researchers. She also prompted those who are studying under scholarship to treat PhD as an “AMANAH”, which needed to be catered with careful responsibility. Instead of talking about personal provision, Dr. Kamariah also shared several technical information such as thesis writing and file management.
Prof. Mohd. Nasir bin Taib, the Head of ASPRG, on his remarks, thanked and congratulated Dr. Kamariah for sharing her endeavors. According to him, Dr. Kamariah had proven that anybody could gain success in PhD when they have strong self-believed, passion and hard works.
