January 13th ::: First Task

Situation 1~~

Ridzuan is a semester seven students doing his final year project.

Hes has just submitted his FYP report draft to his supervisor and feedback

from the supervisor is as follows;

1. Not enough reading to support the idea of his project

 2. His project is not significant for a degree student

3. Badly written

Ridzuan has actually spent a long time drafting his report. He is very sure

his report has no major problems because his project has produced a good prototype;

however, the supervisors' comments have made him very confused.

He thinks he has done enough as his project clearly shows the application

of hands-on-skills. In fact, he is very excited to show how good he is through his project. 

He believes that there is nothing wrong with his report except that his supervisor

dislike him. The dilemma he is facing now is how can he improve

for the next resubmission of the report.

Questions~~

1.  Is Ridzuan's opinion correct?

2.  Is there anything that Ridzuan might have left out during his report writing?

3.  Discuss the issues within your group and then present your suggestions 

on what/how Ridzuan should do for FYP report.
