Lecturer:
Ms. Myzatul Aishah Kamarazaly

Supervisor :
Ms. Azrina MD Yaakob

Title: Leadership competencies for consultant Quantity Surveyors in construction industry

Overview of module:

We are required to understand the academic researchand research methodlogy. No exam is included in this module, but we are requirede to submit a research proposal and literature review and be brought forward to semsester 6 for dissertation.

What I have gained from this module:

 Lifelong Learning

This module required students to be  more independent and able to extract the information from journals or other relevant sources to come out with a problem statement and background of our studies before proceeding to the objectives of the dissertation.

Thinking and Problem Solving Skills

While reading journals, we were required to analyse them and think creatively and critically whether or not that journals or points extracted are useful. 

Intrapersonal Skills

No doubt, most of us are struggling with this interesting yet challenging module. I have made some self-reflection during the hard time in dealing with the individual assignment and advises from friends and lecturer are more than helpful. Also, time management is also very important as we need to slot out additional time to analyze the findings from other authors.

Conclusion:
Be prepared to receive comments. As rome is not built in one day, hence, a quality dissertation cannot be a good one if the foundation/base is not strong and if you are not going to change for good when advices were given by experts.
