My first meeting with my supervisor

On the 6th week of learning in the course, my lecturer Dr. Edwin had assign our supervisor for the research paper and 6 people including me is assign under the supervision on Dr. Jayakaran Mukundan, our very own lecturer in the Educational Faculty. After we have been assigned under Dr. Jaya, we decided to quickly make an appointment with him so that we could know and expect from the research paper that we are going to do. So, on February 12, we had a meeting with our supervisor, Dr. Jaya at the Educational Faculty’s library. Due to the fact that this is our first meeting with our supervisor, I do not know what to expect from the meeting. That is why when Dr. Jaya asked us on the issue that we want to discuss in the research paper, most of us do not know what to say as we do not prepare the requirement that Dr. Jaya asked us to show. Thankfully that I had done some reading on what issue I’m going to do on and I quickly show it to Dr. Jaya to ask his approval. I wanted to discuss an issue of discrimination on women in Malaysian text and I’ve chosen two particular texts for the research which are “Mala”, a short story by K. S. Maniam and “Confinement”, a short story by Mulaika Hijjas. Dr. Jaya gives his approval on my issue and he wanted me to give some implication of the issue on education. Lastly before the meeting session ended, Dr. Jaya asked us to prepare our first draft for the research paper and pass it up on the 24th of February 2009.
