Day 347 Task – Drafting My Own AJEE Manuscript

Posted on December 12, 2020 ·

I have always wanted to write and publish in AJEE. It is ironic that I am now the editor for AJEE but I have not published anything yet. Hence I am drafting one that I plan to publish in the coming Vol 4 Issue 2 of AJEE.

Day 346 Task – Completing Reading and Grading Reflection Journal #2

Posted on December 11, 2020 ·

Yesterday I read 14 Reflection Journals of my ITE-ISP students. The writings are quite interesting compared to my previous years reading it. I have more international students compared to local students and I can see their writing style is different. They are more straight forward and directly share what they feel.

Today, I continued reading and grade the rest of the reflection journals.

Day 342 Task – Monthly Meeting with PhD Student that I Co-Supervised

Posted on December 7, 2020 ·

Earlier today, we visited (ziarah) our friend Dr. Norzita because her mother passed away. Please accept our condolences.

Immediately after that, official work commenced. Among them were to submit the payment invoice for UPMU to Radis, reviewed a manuscript from a reputable Q1 journal, checked my PSM student research work progress.

One of the interesting event today was the meeting with Salman, a PhD student that I supervised. We have an online meeting at home (WFH) and the progress of this student is amazing so far. We’re pretty impressed with his awesome ideas and rapid progress. I can see that this student have a bright future ahead and can finish fast if his work rate is like that.

On a different note, at 11.15pm at night, we had a trial online mock run for Zarifah, my master student who earlier has some issues with her microphone (attached to her laptop). Dr. Mazura, her co-supervisor was very helpful, knowledgeable and skillful to troubleshoot. Believe it or not, the trouble shooting process lasted at 1.00am in the morning.

Day 341 Task – Checking & Updating My NewRadis Account

Posted on December 6, 2020 ·

I am fortunate that I was awarded with several research grants this year and last year. To run the projects, I have appointed my student under the GRA and SRA scheme in NewRadis roughly 1 month ago. Unfortunately, the appointment require some amendment but I receive no email to notify me about this. I only realized this when I login my NewRadis account.

Although I felt like blaming the system why no email was sent to inform me about this, I am blaming myself as well because why I am not aggressive in following up on the matter. From now on, I need to regularly login to my NewRadis account on a weekly basis, perhaps every Monday, to check on any Returned Application or Pending Application. InsyaAllah, by being more aggressive, I won’t waste time.

Day 340 Task – Progress Report Check for My Research Students

Posted on December 5, 2020 ·

Today, on this lovely Saturday, I took the time to check on the progress of some of my PSM, Master and PhD research students. I checked and commented the progress of Abdelrahim Minalla (PhD Engineering Education Research), Raihan Aulia Zaky (Master Mixed Mode), Arif Hut (PSM) and Nasyitah (ex-PSM and hopefully soon to be a PhD student that I Co-supervised). That took quite some time too.

At night, I had a Webex meeting with Arif Hut to discuss his progress and direction on his Palm Oil Sustainability and Carbon Footprint project. After having the night meeting, I realized that even though the meeting was awesome and fruitful, I should not held the meeting on a Saturday night. That is a time I need to spend with my family. I believe maybe my student also may have activities with his family or friends, but has to commit for the meeting. Another aspect for me to improve.
