FCM Postgraduate Talk Series 02/2022

FCM Postgraduate Talk Series 02/2022

The talk series which successfully took off last month in the Faculty of Creative Multimedia continued with Series 02 titled Unwritten Rules of Academic Research Proposal by our honorable invited speaker Assoc. Prof. Ts. Dr. Rusmadiah Anwar, an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Art & Design, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Malaysia.

He shared his knowledge and wisdom to a room of around enthusiastic 40 participants (physical and online mode). Staff, students and researchers came as early as 10 am to meet and greet him before his talk. It was an enticing two-hour knowledge-sharing session chaired by Programme Coordinator Ts. Dr. Vimala Perumal and graced by FCM Deputy Dean (Research, Industrial Collaboration & Engagement), Dr. Roopesh Sitharan. The topic of discussion was relatable to researchers, students, staff as well as supervisors. Not only was it evident from the lively question and answer session, but throughout the talk, participants were engaged and responded to each slide animatedly.

Looking forward to the next talk series 03, the ‘Unwritten Rules of Academic Research Proposal’ was cohesive, informative and aptly conducted to curb young researchers’ interest in pursuing their research journey.
