 FYP STUDENTS’ GUIDELINES & RESPONSIBILITIES
 Research topic based on students’ interest and approved by the supervisors
 Submit registration forms to Project Coordinator (1 copy –supervisor & 1 copy –self
reference)
 Plan the work properly and prepare work schedule for one year and follow the
schedule properly to ensure project is completed within the time frame
 Keep record on progress work using a logbook and supervisor endorse the meeting
 Must meet supervisor regularly at least once a week so the progress is monitored
closely
 Prepare project report to supervisor and poster presentation to panels
 Plan properly the experimental work to avoid congestion at the end of the semester
 Minimize grammatical errors in the report
 Submit final report to supervisor after poster presentation session
 Make necessary correction after assessment by supervisor and after presentation to
panels
 Ready to face certain action from the faculty if fail to follow schedule and
requirements of FYP
 Student reports will be evaluated and corrected carefully based on precise content,
words constructed, grammars and research outcomes.
 Most of the students did not follow the standard format of writing reports such as
references, labeling the figures, tables, graphs and poor writing skills.
 THE FACULTY WILL NOT ENTERTAIN ANY PETITION FOR EXTENSION OF
TIME OF SUBMISSION/PRESENTATION
 Continuous Quality Improvement
Students must explain the results in simple and precise
sentences along with Figures. Do not put the figures without
explaining them in the texts.
Students must construct their own sentences rather than cut
and paste from internets.
Students must relate their objectives in the conclusions and
stated whether they achieved the objectives or not.
The written reports must be proofread before submitted to
