Meeting With Dr. Jaya, My Dearest Supervisor

Despite the position paper, I have already started my research paper. After such a long time of tortured by my curiosity, Dr. Edwin finally announced to us our respective supervisors last week. And, Dr. Jaya as my supervisor. Dr. Jaya was my Teaching of Writing course lecturer. He is an interesting lecturer that he will fill the class with joys and funs. I really enjoyed his lectures in previous semester. However, when my friends and I met Dr. Jaya for the first time last week, he was very quiet and serious. So, none of us were dare to joke with him. Perhaps this is the way he deals with serious things. *LOL* We were asked to get ourselves complete with our first draft before 26.02.09 as he was leaving to overseas by this week. So, to make sure that we work when he is away, he makes us decide our topics and hand in the draft. Then, he will discuss with us. I think this is quite efficient. Although we have to work on our own, but independent writing will really make us be cautious and aware of what we are going to work. No more spoon-feeding to you...too bad. Somehow I think it's cool, even though I have to spend my days and nights struggling with the first draft. WORK hard and PLAY harder... Cheerio~

Position Paper Progress

After such a long time absent from this blog, here I am again. It's like a decade ago since I last wrote my post. I just finish my first draft of position paper. Mr. Ommit is quite a patient lecturer, although his pace of doing things is kind of slow. He is able to respond to each student what they write for their thesis statements and also supporting details. He is very good that he gives us time in the time to edit on our work. He is generous in giving us the space to develop our writing. Of course, he will check on us from time to time so that none of us is wasting our time chatting or sleeping. Thus, I managed to finish my first draft in the class. Now, Im working on my second draft... Good Luck to me!

First Meeting With Mr. Omit

What is a thesis statement? When Mr. Omit asked us to write down a thesis statement based on our university, I wrote 'Scoring a paper in university needs more hardwork than luck'. And, Mr. Omit commented that it is rather a fact, so the sentence is good but cannot be used. What a sad thing! But, somehow from his comment, I slowly get the idea on what a thesis statement is. Thanks to him. Somebody told me long ago that, the beginning is the hardest step. But, once you step out for the first time, everything will get much easier. Although I'm still quite scared to face the coming-soon position paper and research paper preparation, I will try my best to overcome my fear, hopefully, with the help of our tutor, Mr. Omit.
