Week 1 (8/10/2024) : Familiarization and Proposal Defense Extension Process

 

                                         
                                                 

On my second day, I studied the UUM handbook to understand the Master's and PhD programs at GSGSG, gaining clarity on the courses, program structures, fees, and academic procedures. Later, Madam Farzana explained how to process Applications for Extension of Proposal Defense. For PhD students, I must verify the colloquium and Proposal Defense dates, along with the supervisor’s approval, while Master's students only require supervisor approval. After confirmation, I stamp the documents as "Received" and pass them to Madam Farzana for further processing until the student is notified of the extension outcome.

Then, I have been tasked with preparing three separate proposal submissions, each accompanied by the required attachments, including the relevant forms and an additional insert. These documents are to be organized meticulously in individual envelopes and addressed accordingly to both the chairperson and the examiners. The process ensures that all required materials are clearly labeled and securely packaged before being delivered or posted to the respective recipients.

After printing, stamp the names on all the copies, except for the supervisors. Once this is completed, place the 'Insertion,' the student's proposal, and the required documents in an envelope to be posted or handed over to the chairperson and the examiners. Following that, a WhatsApp group is created for the Proposal Defence. Initially, this group only includes the chairperson and the examiners, so they can choose from three proposed dates suggested by the Viva Unit. These dates allow flexibility for the chairperson and examiners to agree on a s...

                                                                   On my first day of practicum, I reported to the office of the Ghazali Shafie Graduate School of Government (GSGSG) at 7:30 AM.

After that, we moved on to meet the rest of the staff. Madam Che Norlaila led me to the VIVA Unit, where I would be stationed for the duration of my internship.

Later in the morning, Ms. Nabila introduced me to all the staff members within the VI...
