Student Internship Presentation

Usually it’s not a compulsory to make any presentation as an internship student. However, if you think about how important it is to make a progress presentation once a week, it will actually help students to improve their confidence and skills in communicating and presenting points to the public. Taking our little precious time to listen to this presentation may change them in the future.

I urge firms or agencies that appoint/hire internship students, educate them to be a career ready person. Don’t because they are internship students, they are only burdened with technical work without focusing on their soft skills development before getting into the industries. Do not blame the students or their institutions if they cant do the tasks. They are still in training.

I would say treat them as internships students and not as “backbenchers”.

Postgraduate’s Presentation – A New Norm

I am honored that I was invited to chair a 3 hours of 20192020 postgraduate progress presentation session. Associate Professor Dr. Zulkepli Majid, Dr. Zamri Ismail and Dr. Shahabuddin Ameruddin were the panel during this presentation.

For your information. This is the first time this presentation session has been entirely virtualized. As chairman, I don’t feel awkward as I used to communicate with international experts online.

Seeing a student presentation, disrupted by the sound of a rooster outside the house, was genuinely surprising. Here’s what we could says about the ‘new norm’.

Editorial Office Invitation in Springer Nature Journals

Part of the academic duties is to assist colleagues around the world in evaluating, assessing and recommending on the basis of our scientific research experience and information.

“Reviewing is a time-intensive process – writing a review report can be almost as much work as writing a manuscript! – but it is very worthwhile for the reviewer as well as for the community.

Reviewers:
* ensure the rigorous standards of the scientific process by taking part in the peer-review system.
* uphold the integrity of the journal by identifying invalid research, and helping to maintain the quality of the journal.
* fulfil a sense of obligation to the community and their own area of research.
* establish relationships with reputable colleagues and their affiliated journals, and increase their opportunities to join an Editorial Board.
* can help prevent ethical breaches by identifying plagiarism, research fraud and other problems by dint of their familiarity with the subject area.” – Elsevier, 2020
