New Semester. New Subject.

New semester has begin and one of the subjects that I enrolled myself in this semester is Research Methodology.

A subject that I can no longer take for granted for if I want to graduate my master on time.  

Back in my undergraduate days, I never take research methodology subject seriously as thesis and viva was not part of the requirement to graduate for my course. We only need to organize an event and make sure we learn how to manage people, event and make profit out of it. Only with that and also internship has make us entitle to graduate. 

Transitioning from that to being required to submit a thesis to graduate is kinda hard as I have very limited knowledge and experiences on this specific subject. Plus, it does not help when doing Master is the first time that you will encounter with it. Research Methodology is definitely the subject that you need to be familiar with. 

I really need to go back to basic. 

At the end of the class, Datin Dr. Nazeera Ahmad Basari whom is our lecturer for Research Methodology subject told us to start preparing the first draft for our 1st chapter which consist of: 

1.0 Introduction

1.1 Background of the study

1.2 Statement of the Problem

1.3 Purpose of the Study

1.4 Research Objectives 

1.5 Research Questions

1.6 Significance of the Study

1.7 Limitations of Study

1.8 Definitions of Terms

1.9 Conclusion

While I did have a taste of what it would be like preparing this draft during my first semester, but this time I feel like the bar set for the submission is quite high as it will reflect on how hard my master journey will be at the end of the day. 

But I guess I have no other choice than just start preparing the draft no matter how bad the come out will be because a bad page can always be edited but a blank page? There is nothing can be done about it. 

I really do need to read more journal and focus on their methodology if I want to keep up with the pace. 

I pray that God will ease my way. 

Wish me luck and pray for me !
