Writing a thesis or dissertation has many significant advantages. However, it is not a simple task, and not everyone who begins a thesis or dissertation is able to complete the work smoothly. Thesis guidelines and formatting offer important information to UTM students about how to prepare thesis and dissertations in a manner appropriate to the university’s requirements. As a result, this course has attracted a large number of students who are ready to begin their writing journey. This session has had the most participants to date. Postgraduate and undergraduate students mainly participated for their Master’s or Ph.D. thesis writing, proposal defend report, and final year project dissertation. 

The aim of this course is to help students learn and understand the university thesis template. Thesis writing courses enable students to address particular formatting problems and potential difficulties they may encounter when planning their thesis. The speaker provided considerable knowledge and expertise when adhering to the formatting template, which resulted in very positive input to the participants. Everyone agrees that the virtual session dampened everyone’s excitement for learning the formatting process. As the pandemic improves in the future, face-to-face sessions will undoubtedly produce very promising results. Despite the difficulties and limitations encountered during the session, this course received very positive feedback and cooperation from the participants.

The course is classified as a compulsory subject for PG students – UTM Thesis Template. The course’s objectives are as follows:

  1. To assist PG students in the preparation of their thesis using the UTM thesis template.
  2. To standardize the format of writing.
  3. Recognize the tips and abilities needed for thesis writing.
  4. Advice and knowledge sharing from the speaker during the thesis writing process.
