Experience in Viva Voce at UPM

 For this part, I would like to share with the readers  my experience during the viva voce session.

For your information, my day was conducted early in the morning around 9.30 a.m.,  at the Room 3.  After all the committee come, and the viva voce started,  the was a welcoming remarks from the chairman and introducing the name of the examiners.  Then, my supervisor and I need to go out first in order to allow the examination committee discussed with each other. After the discussion over, the chairman called us to go inside the room. 

At this time, I have to present my oral presentation in front of them about 20 minutes. Alhamdulillah, I managed to present it well and finish it on time. For those who will be presenting the research, please ensure that you prepare a cup of water first because  during my time, there was no  any bottle of mineral water provided. But, there was a water filter and cups at the back of the room. So, please serve its own your own selves because maybe you feel butterfly in the stomach and make you thirsty.  And, do not hesitate offer the drinks to the other committee politely. 

Then, after the presentation, there will be a questions and comments session. In this session, please provide your arguments so well because it is the most important part. Be reflective to all the questions from the examiners and also chairman. Your supervisor cannot help you to clarify it. So that, before you go for the viva, please make sure you have already discussed your slides with the supervisors. Familiarize with the problem statement, well versed with the methodology, remember your references, implications from this study and last but not least, your contribution for the future research. 

Ok, after the discussion, my supervisor and I need to go out for the second time for the second discussion of the examination committee. Then, went inside again when we were called. In this agenda, it was short and precise where the chairman will only announce  the result and the examiners will congratulate me and supervisors. Alhamdulillah. 

By the way, the full report only will be retrieved after the chairman prepared it and sent to the chairman. Therefore, for the time being, I’m in the mood of waiting for the reports. Hopefully, I will get it from SGS next as soon as possible for making further correction. And last but not least, hoping there is no any critical comments need to done. 

TIPS PENTING BAGI POSTGRADUATE STUDENT

Tips ini saya tujukan kepada sesiapa yang kurang berkemahiran dalam ASPEK TEKNIKAL penulisan yang senasib dengan saya. Bagi, yang dah expert, takpe la. Niat sekadar berkongsi.

Tips nya are as follows;

•  Tetapan untuk letakkan navigation pane for heading

Go to View -  cari Navigation Pane- Then tick inside the box – Then akan muncul satu box sebelah kiri word anda 

 

•   Nak buat spesifik headings

 Highlight  kat mana-mana tajuk headings yang kita nak buat – Then go to Home- Kat atas sebelah kanan pilih mana-mana heading yang kita nak. Contoh- Heading 1 – Then akan ada heading tu. Dan juga seterusnya. Heading 2, 3 ….

 

• Baiki setiap heading

Disebabkan setiap heading tu font yang berlainan, kita boleh modify font tu untuk standardizekan every font for the whole of the writings.

Contoh nak modify heading 1 – Pergi Home- Pergi kat specific heading yang kita nak modify tadi, Heading 1 – Then Right Click – Akan appear satu box – macam dalam gambar ni – got to Formatting – boleh adjust apa2 yang kita nak dari segi font, dsbgnya yang ada kat situ – Pergi lagi kat bahagian bawah dalam box tu jumpa satu “automatically update” (please tick) – Then paling bawah ada kotak Format –Tekan- then pilih and Tekan Paragaph – appear box lain- so pilih apa yang patut .

# My thesis: Heading 1 = 24pt ; Heading 2,3,4 = 12 pt ; line spacing- Double  - Tekan ok- ok

S   # TAK PERLU NAK SCROLLS UP & DOWN UNTUK STANDARDIZEKAN FONT FOR EVERY HEADING. SANGAT MEMUDAHKAN KERJA DAN JUGA MENJIMATKAN MASA. PADA WAKTU YANG SAMA DAPAT ELAK DARIPADA KESALAHAN TEKNIKAL.

Summary for Master Viva at UPM (After Submitted Thesis)

Alhamdulillah, I passed my oral presentation already.  After encountered several obstacles during this study period, there are several tips I would like to share with the respective readers who are eagerly to know what there are going to face after thesis was submitted for examination. 
 

Hopefully, my experience can be benefit to others, insyaallah. 

1. Always make yourself be updated with your student portal

Please always check at the thesis/viva voce with information because it will update you the stage of your thesis. The date your thesis submitted to the examiners is most important to look in. This is because we could know that the thesis is already in the hand of the examiners, and can assumed when the viva date should be held.  

Based on information from the thesis counter, commonly we can know the viva date about 2 to 3 months from the date thesis submitted to examiners. So, please make you yourself free to consult thesis counter for that particular information.  One of my friends, have her viva only 2 ½ months after she submitted the thesis. Glad to hear the news :)

2. Identify person in-charge for your thesis

For this part, it is very important. After four or five months submitted the thesis, where I always consulted through thesis counter, and also telephone, then I just realized and informed from the SGS the person in charge in dealing with my thesis with the examiners. Safe to be safe, if you want your viva as earlier you want, please feel easy to call thesis division from SGS and please ask the  specified name for the person who  in-charge with your thesis. So, in future, you can directly pass to the exact person know about your thesis‘s phases. Rather thaN you face the common passing line among practices among the staff member.

3. Mock viva with supervisory committee and friends

Please make sure you prepared yourself by conducting mock viva. It is not necessarily you conduct the mock viva with your supervisors at the same time. It depends, for me, since the supervisor is very busy; therefore I conducted my mock viva in personal basis where it is relied on the convenience of the supervisor. Identify the nearest place with the supervisor. Therefore, it makes the supervisor easy to come. 

4. Do revision

Of course you have to do all the revisions with regards to your thesis, and practice you oral presentations. Find the information’s and inquiry that are usually asked by the examiners in viva voce. 

Ok, that’s all for this time.  Insyaallah, I will share with all of you, what is the real situation I have faced during my viva voce.

TESTIMONI QASEH GOLD KEKANDA

Testimoni QASEH GOLD daripada keluarga sendiri

HIDUNG BERDARAH SEKIAN LAMA KINI PULIH

Alhamdulillah. Syukur ke hadrat Allah S.W.T kerana diberi peluang untuk berbakti kepada ibu dan bapa. Dengan QASEH GOLD KEKANDA  yang menjadi antara salah satu asbab, resdung ayah saya sendiri  telah dapat dirawat. Ye lah. Ayah saya ni jenis tidak suka berubat, degil, dan susah sangat pergi klinik. Kami satu keluaga memang bimbang akan kesihatannya. Nak tergur, takut plak kan….

Disebabkan, kami anak beranak dan menjadikan QASEH GOLD ini sebagai amalan harian, dan merasai manfaatnya, maka balik kampong satu hari, saya memperkenalkan QASEH KEKANDA pada ayah saya ni. Ikutkan dia, mmg tak minum la sendiri. Mak saya pun tak berani suruh lebih. Namun, saya rasa saya dah besar dan saya yakin apa yang saya buat itu betul, dan demi usaha plus bertawakal pada Allah,  cuba untuk ikhlaskan hati, (suami ada, ayah nak marah buat apa kan.. hihihi), sambil- sambil duk layan PENCETUS UMMAH, dan Ustaz Haslin selaku DUTA QASEH,  idea tiba-tiba datang. Saya pergi dapur, letak madu dalam sudu, suap kat anak dan suami saya. Adik yang batuk sebab musim tenkujuh pun saya kerah makan. Then, lastly, saya bagi ayah saya. Ayah tak boleh buat apa. Tercengang, then terpaksa minum juga sebab suami dan mata2 liar lain duk tengok. Apa respon ayah saya?

“ Sedap jugok madu ni rupanya”. Semua tergelak.

Alhamdulillah, terharu pun ada sebab dapat bagi ayah minum sebab ayah saya ni tak pandai tunjuk kasih sayang. Huhuhu.

Hampir seminggu berada di kampong, ayah tanpa disuruh, bangun pagi sebelum ke kedai kopi, ambil QASEH KEKANDA dulu. Malam saya akan pastikan ayah minum. Alhamdulillah, pada satu tengah hari, ayah bagi tahu, hampir 3 hari dah hidung dia tak berdarah dan sampai sekarang. Bersyukur sangat-sangat. Dia kata semenjak umur kakak saya masih  kecil, (kini kakak saya dah umur 30 tahun) , dia kata pertama kali hidung dia tak berdarah dan sangat selesa bernafas. Dulu ada  ada sekali masa kita orang duk Kelantan. Tapi sehari jer. Yang ni memang selesa sangat dia kata.

Allahu Akbar. Syukur syukur dan terus bersyukur di atas nikmat ini. Memudahkan kehidupan ayah. Kerja sebagai tukang rumah, dengan hidung berdarah setiap hari, amat menguji beliau. Nak pergi solat di surau payah, sebab hidung berdarah dan takut mengganggu Jemaah lain.

Diharapkan, penyembuhan ini berpanjangan dan resdung ayah bertambah baik.

Waiting for the next project

Since the date for viva voce is not conclusive yet,  by the way it has been almost 5 months,I need to find a new way to make my life is filled with a beneficial moment instead of taking care of my lovely child per se.

Hopefully, my decision to indulge in a business could be realized soon.Please make dua for me :)

Thesis Submission for Examination UPM

Alhamdulillah... After a few years struggled for completing the thesis draft, today, 10 June 2014, I have an opportunity to submit it. A lot of beautiful moments I could remember for finalizing it. Even the bad and tough moments shifted to sweet memory. Why? Because it taught me how preserver am I to face the challenges. I learnt who is the true companions, how to ponder the messages, as well as t caught with the systems. Indeed, without the permission given by the Almighty, I cannot afford to go through all of these challenges. I pray Allah makes ease for the examiners in reviewing my thesis and lastly helping me during the viva voice. And of course, give success to me. Allahu Akbar, I have done as maximum I can, I just pass to you and hopefully you grant me the happiness as to finish my master degree as soon as possible. Ameen. 

Next step, preparation for the viva, as well as writing articles based on the thesis findings. Hopefully, all planned could be achieved smoothly. In Shaa Allah. 

# In UPM, after I filled up the 14a form, the Chairman of the supervisory committee will nominate the examiners. Then the Institute will endorse and deliberate it to the JKPS meeting. From the Information got from the SGS staff on thesis, the meeting for the endorsement of examiners will be held twice a month. For my case, the meeting is on 12 as well as 22 of the month if I am not mistaken. Please make yourself always asking SGS for that information. 

Thereafter, I filled up 15a form  with one form that showed evidences your articles were submitted, accepted, published or sent to publication. Dont forget to run turnitin text similarity because you have to provide 4 copies to SGS with 4 thesis as well as CD. 

Hopefully, the viva can be done less than 2 month of the date of thesis submission. In Shaa Allah.
