Semester Break

UiTM decided to move its semester break to this week. This is as a precaution against the spread of H1N1 virus (A couple of UiTM campuses are closed already). We got the information late Friday afternoon. It was already too late for me to give my students assignment during the semester break. Hopefully they will use this time to revise what had been covered in the first three weeks of classes (I doubt so). Classes will resume on the 2nd of August.

First Day of class

This is the first week of class. I started the first day with my first meeting with a newly registered Master of Computer Science research student. I have agreed to be his supervisor and the first discussion is on the topic and a planning on what to be accomplished during the 18 months of research work. He will need to attend the Research Methodology class which began last Saturday.

The following links should be helpful for our research students:

http://naimahmh.uitm.edu.my/resources.html

I do update my resources page (not as frequent as I like to) so if you find any broken link, do let me know.

For academic papers search, you can go to the following link:

http://www.scopus.com

http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/

http://scholar.google.com/

And of course you can always use the google search engine.

As usual, I don't encourage students to use white paper published on the internet. It is best to cite from papers published in well refereed conferences and well established journals or books.

New at UiTM Perlis

It has been a month since I transfer to UiTM Perlis from Shah Alam. It is a new environment which I need to get adjusted. This blog was set up sometime ago and I have not much idea on what to put here. I already have my academic web page hosted at FSKM web server and a duplicate copy hosted at the UiTM web server. I thought of migrating everything to UiTM web server but something is not right somewhere. I use to be able to search my name using google and the page from FSKM web server will appear but now it is gone ... hhhhmmm ... no clue why??? anyway I will start to build on this blogging thing... till then..
