Tips sambung Master

Salam,
Just nak share my experience throughout doing master ni~~
Some tips:

1. Finalise nak sambung master by coursework @ research mode. 
-Klu coursework kena masuk kelas mcm undergrad dulu and ad jgk thesis kena buat. For those yg nak sambung research, prepare diri dgn writing + presentation skills. Tapi, throughout buat research, In sha ALLAH , akan improve those skills. Believe me. So, tips2 di bawah based on research mode sebab Eija sambung by research.heeeeeee

2. Then survey nak sambung di uni mana. Local@ oversea. Sebab Eija sambung local, so Eija share apa yg Eija dah go through.

3. Bila dah pilih research mode, survey2 Supervisor. Tya rakan-rakan si uni tersebut  (If ada). Eija dulu plh SV sebab tau lecturer tu nak cari student. xdak la survey sgt.Pemilihan SV sangat penting. Nasihat Eija utk yg sambung Master ni pilih la lecturer yang ad grant sebab nanti senang buat research. Selain itu, pilih SV yg pangkat Dr @ Assoc Prof dulu. Bukan apa, from my experience, lecturer yg title Prof ni expectation tinggi & byk kena writing sebab KPI as Prof adalah tinggi. Tapi from the positive side, at the end, you guys macam x percaya diri sendiri boleh menulis sama ada dari quantity (total no of papers)/ quality (paper accepted in high impact factor journal).This is from my observation. For those yg betol2 nak pursue PhD + suka writing technical papers + nak jadi lecturer, I would recommend amik lecturer bertitle Prof. In sha ALLAH, publication akan banyak! Sekarang nak jadi lecturer tgk publication. Even one of my friend intervew for PhD scholarship pon, depa nak tgk publication during master. Selain itu, SV memainkan role penting. Bila dapat SV yg suka push macam mana kita nak cope dgn stress, dan ad setengah SV pulak macam let go student, independent sendiri.susah jgk tu. So, kesimpulannya, better kenal character SV dulu.heeeeeeeee

Pengalaman Eija yang di supervise under seorang Prof, alhamdulillah 3 papers dah accepted utk conference [2 already presented] dan in sha ALLAH akan di publish, tapi journal scopus index sahaja dan 1 paper dah submit ke low impact factor journal (under review, dan doakan paper Eija accepted tau.heheh). And currently working on 1 paper to be submitted to journal. Itu pon dah lebih syarat universiti utk grad master...Grad master uni Eija x silap attending 1 conference sahaja. pikir-pikir balik,biar betol ak ni dah buat 4 paper, cumanya paper Eija more on quantity la bukan quality.

4. Bila dah enroll master ni, mesti memikir pasal allowance kan.macam mana nak survive. Itu pentingnya research yg ad grant. Tu penting cari lecturer yg ad grant. Duit grant tu boleh guna utk allowance monthly kita.heeeeee or else ad sesetengah Uni ad provide graduate assistanship. Try apply from uni terbabit if they did provide. If allowance from uni, later on you guys kena perform as tutor@lab demo utk kelas undergraduate.Yer la, uni xkan bagi free2 tanpa memperolehi sebarang benefits unless it is scholarship. Utk scholarship, Eija xdak experience apply mana2, cuma yang Eija tau, boleh apply myMaster dari kementerian, tapi utk yg tu,tuition fee ja cover, allowance x.

Bagi pengalaman Eija pulak, Eija dapat Graduate Assisstant (GA) scheme under universiti. Universiti bagi monthly allowance and cover tuition fee. Utk cover tuition fee, Eija kena jadi tutor/lab demo dan kena fulfilled 47 hours/semester. Utk sem baru ni, Eija jadi lab demo for Engineering drawing.heeee. Through jadi GA ni la, boleh improve communication skills sebab kena mengajar.hehehe.Seriously, I build my confident to speak in front of people during performing GA works.

Sekian sahaja perkongsian Eija~~
