Research Methodology

As the title defined, this module introduces the method to carry out the research on the final year projects. This subject is taught by Dr Kam who guides us on the steps to prepare for our thesis. In the outset of the semester, we were asked to come out with a research topic of our choice. Since majority of us have no idea for thesis topic, we were then asked to read up journals and form a research topic based on our interest. By attending the classes, Dr Kam brief us on all the formats and procedures to produce Chapter 1 and 2 of thesis, Also, we were required to submit Proposal and Literature Review on the pre-set submission dates. Throughout the semester, Mr Kam is being helpful especially when we are lost in forming our thesis topic, problem statements, objectives and so on.

Each of us was then assigned to a tutor, who will be guiding us throughout the process of writing up the thesis. I was then being dispatched under an architect lecturer. Yet, due to some reason, I then switched over to Mr Soon. He is a responsible lecturer where he constantly meet up with us to check on our progress and to ensure that we are able to finish the work on time. Also, he never fails to listen to our ideas and gives useful suggestions. Up to this stage, we had done 2 chapters which are Proposal and Literature Review whereas Chapter 3 to 5 will be carrying out on next semester.

Lastly, I would like to thank Dr Kam and Mr Soon for their continuous support and guidance throughout the semester. Their passion in teaching is very much appreciated.
