2021 Day 98 Tasks – PSM Research Consultations

Posted on April 10, 2021 ·

Today, I focused on following up and provide consultation to my PSM student’s research. I do not have a regular weekly face to face meeting, by style is my students need to send report to me on a weekly basis, and follow up either by call, whatsapp discussion and email. So far it has been working well for both sides (in my opinion). I am training my students to work independently with minimal supervision but yet high productivity. High productivity is defined as the student not only can complete their project but also can publish in journal as well as present in international conferences.

So far the following PSM students of mine managed to present in conference and/or publish in journal:
