p/s untuk berjaya...hati kamu kena membara dengan semangat macam budak dalam video clip ni... saya jamin sure score ....

C'mon..wake up wake up....

Dear Students,

I have heard lots of comments from your supervisors bout your 1st-3rd progress. I am quite suprise most of you told your supervisors that you dont have a clue of what you are supposed to do for FYP I.

This is sad...really.

Ok. No more main-main. I have drafted the manual for you all. Please refer to me ASAP if you have any queries.

The proposal format in .rar can be downloaded here . Stick to the format. The INSTRUCTION is very clear.

The Student Logbook Manual in .rar can be downloaded here . Do this. The logbook will help you for your FYP . Trust me

The Things that i have promised

Dear FYP students,

Sorry bout the delay. Pusat ICT refused to unblock the normal online storage site that i normally used to upload docs.

So i had to find other alternative.

Please read thru all of these docs.

1) The logbook manual. You just follow the instruction. If you are rajin enough...you can edit the FORM(s) first before pasting it to your logbook. Kalau tak , print saja dan gam. Tulis sendiri. Download here

2) I think most of you must be very busy doing your proposal..well this is the template. Download here. If you want to see a sample...well come and see me personally. Sorry proposal R&D is confidential. If not, you can ask for your supervisor's ..If he/she has applied FRGS grant before.

Bout the BUDGET part, if you dont have anything to buy..just ignore it

3) I drafted a FYP I guidelines.. It is a very importance document when you are preparing the Final FYP I Report (Week 14 kena submit nanti). Download here

4) If you are still in the dark of what you are supposed to do for this FYP and how we are going to assess you.. Read this

So Good Luck & Try Your Level Best

The way forward

Dear FYP students,

I hope that all of you understand your task for this semester. The tentative guidelines are as below

a) Log Book (download here)
i will post the instructions tomorrow

b) FYP 1 Final Report Guide (download here)
