Factors Contributing to "Failure " of Sponsored PhD candidates to finish within the specified time

The MOHE grant was given to a group of academics to study the factors as well as the impact of sponsored academics to finish their PhD’s in the specified time. The study covered the time period 2000-2010. The method of data gathering was by issuing questionnaire as well as interviews. The respondents were the candidates, DVC, Deans and officers in charge of the study leave. For detailed analysis, refer to the report of Grant KPT 9003-00195.The study concludes that:

1. Those who studied overseas managed to complete their studies earlier than those who did so in local universities (4.3 years as opposed to 4.7 years)
2. Other secondary factors are attitude, health, and environmental
3. 35.5% found difficulty in writing chapters 4-6 (analysis, discussion and conclusion) and therefore could not complete within the time
4. 3 years is too short a time. 78.4% of respondents want this to be revised. Need and criteria depend on programme and the supervisor involved.
5. For those who completed the degree, the important contributing factors are preparation prior to study, the supervisor and self discipline are all contributing factors.

(The total number of respondents were 653)

writing prob

selalu ain ada problem bila mai bab writing..

horror ajer bila nak buat even 1 paragraph results mahupun literature review...

teringat betapa bertahun tahun lamanya menulis dgn puluhan malahan mungkin ratusan edisi draft ngan jutaan proses edit sana cut sini, copy n paste n alter sana sini...

horror lagik bila teringat direction dan penceritaan tesis bertukar 360 darjah pabila keputusan tak menepati hipotesis..

apakah motivasi n langkah yg boleh dipraktikkan utk atasi horror nak nulis n writer's block itu?

yg ain tahu...ain avoid writing because of my trauma n that the way of supervision of my current sv is completely different 360 degree to that of my previous sv during my master journey...that is in the way of me getting their feedbacks...masa master tak sampai 2 minggu mmg dah dapat balik feedback..

sv sekarang sibuk kat admin work....i rarely get feedbacks of my writing (tulih literature review ja yg paling habih pun).....

so, what must i do?

all these research works need some black and white (write up la...apo lagik!!)

pls pls pls..what must i do?

lesson lerant from msc journey : lesson 1

lesson 1: do not fear to fail

ain selalu trauma bila cerita pasal master...i mean i've always pictured myself as a failure...due to my horrible terrible msc journey..

sejak zaman gelap master, i dont have the confident anymore...

a good start in the msc didnt promise a better and smooth sailing research journey...i've lerant that...so, till now, though i am now in my 2nd yr phd candidature, i am still having this trauma n cant take myself out from the 'failure' suit...

i am scared...

but, i'd rather have a not so msmooth sailing, asalkan ia membawa kejayaan at the end of my journey..maybe failure cuma satu ujian utk buat ain lebih tabah...n push us to try harder n do better...

Allah Maha Mengetahui...

thus, I am going to take this journey as positive i can ...
