The meeting

The meeting with my supervisor went quite well today. The six of us was given a short briefing after our lecture at four o’clock in the afternoon. Roughly we arrange suitable and convenient time to meet with my supervisor, how often do we need to meet her and how I would be nice if we could hand in our work (draft) before our meeting so she can have a look at our progress and give us feed back.
Now my supervisor ask us to look for any literary elements (like irony and metaphor) on any literary text and do a small research on it and basically that is it, with an additional section on our research paper stating how or what is the implications for Education or teaching.
I now have two weeks time to come out with something before I meet my supervisor again and with course mate like Tan and Daya I really need to be prepared. I don’t want to appear lazy and unmotivated to do my research paper now do I?

Meeting with my supervisor next week

It would be nice if we have some example of thesis statement that has been done by our senior as some sort of guidance for us. Not that I want to copy every thing they did, just to get a feel of what is expected of this paper and what are the format of requirements that is require of us.
This course is different from the other courses that I have taken before in a sense that EDU3234 is a Reading and project work, a two in one course. I’m suppose to do my proposal paper and at the same time attend Reading course, so there is a lot of work that need to be done in this paper but if there is any lecturers class that I like to attend it would be Assoc.Prof.Dr.Malachi Edwin’s lecture. He is one of the few lecturers that you walk out of the lecturer hall learning something.
I guess I’m still lucky because this semester I only have 15 credit hours, compare to my other course mate who is taking other extra credit this semester. They will feel the heat of pressure this semester I’m sure of it. Well I’m supposedly to meet with my supervisor next week and I hope everything will go smoothly.

Thesis topic

I need to come up with a thesis statement for my thesis and it’s driving me nut, I don’t know how to actually come up with my own one sentence statement topic.
I don’t actually know what will “work” as a thesis statement. I don’t even know which book or poem to choose from much less come up with a suitable thesis statement. I’m sure there’s a few that share my view. This course for me has a very rocky start and I know this paper is not going to be easy (there are never any easy one) I really need to some how “sprout” out some good potential thesis statement fast so I will at least have some thing to show my supervisor when I meet her on week 3.
The semester holiday have dull and daze my thinking skills really need to boost up my noggin and put on my thinking cap for this Reading and project work paper.
