InsyaAllah sebagai sokongan berterusan kepada para pelajar pascasiswazah di bawah penyeliaan saya, satu bengkel penulisan akan diadakan minggu hadapan. Objektif bengkel pada kali ini adalah untuk membantu setiap pelajar untuk menyiapkan satu artikel secara sistematik serta menepati ciri-ciri artikel yang boleh diterbitkan dalam jurnal berindeks. Kemahiran penulisan akademik akan ditekankan di samping format umum  yang perlu ada pada sesebuah artikel. 

Semoga usaha kecil ini memberi makna dan pengalaman yang berkesan kepada semua pelajar di bawah seliaan saya. Mudah2an kita dikurniakan ilham mencurah-curah kelak ..ameen.. 

Alhamdulillah all praise to Allah The Almighty! And congratulations .. specifically to Nadirah and Afiqah - my two master students on your graduation day. Indeed, the research journey is not something that everybody would cherish but believe me, if you do it with passion and sincerity, soon as it finishes .. all the hurdles will one day become something that you will value and treasure! Both Nadirah and Afiqah had successfully published an article in indexed journals and completed a chapter of a book. They had recently presented their research findings at the international conference as well. Obviously what they produced is beyond the requirement set by our faculty, i.e., each student should at least present their work at any conference as a prerequisite/condition for graduation. 

My other students had also published chapters in book and are currently working on their journal articles. As to spur the momentum, a writing workshop will be held in the near future. In this case, a supervisor plays an important role - not only to make sure that they (students) will write, but more than that, a supervisor should spend his/her precious time to read and rewrite students' work. It is of importance that the writing and review process is done by both parties (student and supervisor). This effort will not only increase the quality of the article but also inculcate a sense of belonging to the writing process. 

Once again - congrats Nad and Fiqah! 
To my other beloved students - take this as a spirit to gear up! 
​Cheers!
