Day 249 Task – Reviewed Another BCREC Journal Manuscript

Posted on September 4, 2020 ·

Today, I squeezed my weekend wonderful time to complete another review assigned to me the day before from Prof Dr. Istadi from BCREC journal. Luckily the paper was interesting and really falls within my expertise. The real bonus was that the paper was not that long, it was short and sweet and I managed to provide a review of my comments and decision swiftly.

I realized that the future will see me reviewing more and more manuscripts. At the same time, I am already an editor for AJEE journal. Hence, I need to develop the skill to read and capture the content of a journal fast. InsyaAllah I will do my best for that.

Posted on September 3, 2020 ·

Today’s tasks were all surrounded around CEE activities. All of them are crucially very important. The morning workshop is imperative to finalized the submitted RCEE2020 paper by the authors so that it fulfills the IEEE requirement. Subsequently we had a meeting to discuss on the RCEE2020 schedule and program. I received a number of new tasks, which I hope I can soon manage.

After lunch, it was immediately another meeting which commenced at 2pm. For this Mathwork Problem Project, I also received another assignment that needed to be done ASAP.

For the 4pm OBE Meeting, luckily I am not deeply involved since I am just a facilitators and I am still learning the OBE stuffs.

Day 245 Task – Checking, Reading & Proof reading my Master Student Thesis

Posted on August 30, 2020 ·

Today is the independence day of Malaysia. It has been 63 years since we celebrated our victory and freedom. It’s a public holiday here in our country.

Although it was a holiday, I was rushing to read my Master Student’s thesis. I would always prefer not to delay any thesis or proposal checking, paper reviewing etc. Luckily I have gone through her thesis between May and June, which was my first round of reading her thesis and have corrected it massively. Hence, this round, my reading was significantly faster than before as the mistakes were far less, few tiny problems or issues that I may have missed before. It’s very important for me to read her thesis so that we’ll minimize any problems during the VIVA session, which has not been confirmed yet. All the best to my master student…  and me 🙂
