My PhD Proposal 2

My supervisor's comments on Research Methodology:
i. Introd-needs further discussion
ii. Research design-too brief & needs further discussion
iii. Population & sample-needs a larger sample size

My actions now:
i. Re-search & extend discussions on relevant parts as required

My PhD proposal

My supervisor's comments (15 Jul 2010):

i. a short title is preferred

iii. problem statement should be more focussed especially on efficiency & productivity

iv. new key terms should be included

v. other parts: OK

My actions now:

i. amend the proposal

ii. search for new information especially on efficiency & productivity

iii. plan for a pilot study

Poster presentation

My 1st attempt to present a paper from a thesis proposal is at 1st NAPAS 2010 (6 & 7 Jul 2010, The Grand BlueWave Hotel, Shah Alam). I was sponsored by IPSis to present at the conference. This is only a part of the proposal submitted to IPSis, UiTM. Unfortunately, this paper was only accepted for poster presentation but included in the conference proceedings. So. this is how the poster looks alike-too simple-because of no experience in poster presentation before!
