GUIDELINES FOR PROJECT PAPER

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Practicum at semester six comprises of an industrial attachment during the semester and preparation of a project paper.

2.0 PRACTICAL TRAINING

1. Each student will have to undergo a minimum of twenty (20) weeks

practical training in an industry where the student will be able to study the practical aspects of their field of study.

2. Students should apply for their practical training at the beginning of semester (5) using the prescribed forms obtainable from the Industrial Training office.

3. Students are encouraged to apply for practical training places that

match their research interest. 4. The practical training session will begin after the students have

registered themselves for his/her final semester of study.

3.0 THE PROJECT PAPER

The project paper is an integral part of the BBA (Hons) degree programs of Faculty of Business Management, and if properly chosen will serve the following purposes: - A synthesis of various aspects of learning on the BBA (Hons) of

respective programs. - A demonstration of students understanding of concepts, techniques

and skills acquired during the program, through their application in real situations.

- A demonstration of a student’s ability to write a substantial report in a well-structured manner.

4.0 APPOINTMENT OF ADVISOR AND SECOND EXAMINER

Lecturers from the Faculty of Business Management will be

appointed by the head of program to advise the student’s project. Each candidate will be assigned to one lecturer. The appointment will be made known to students and lecturers before the beginning of semester 6. All meetings and manner of supervision will be arranged between the students and their advisors.

3

The Head of Program will also appoint second examiner(s) to

evaluate the students’ project. 5.0 CHOOSING THE PROJECT TOPIC

It is the student’s responsibility to identify a suitable project topic, subject to the approval of his/her advisor (appointed lecturer). The topic must be of issues related to the field of study or at least related to any subject indicated in the students’ program’s curriculum. Request from the industry must also be taken into considerations and shall be discussed between the student, advisor and the supervisor (from the company). For the purpose of preparing the project paper report, a student has to meet and discuss with his/her advisor a minimum of eight (8) times throughout the semester.

Page numbered in Roman numeral accordingly.

Sample - Appendix E

6.9 ABSTRACT

5

objective, methodology, and summary of the findings in the context of the whole study.

Not more than 300 words and double spacing.

Placed immediately before Chapter 1

Page numbered in Roman numeral accordingly.

6.10 MAIN BODY (Chapters)

The main body will begin with Chapter 1

The first page of Chapter 1 shall be paginated beginning with Arabic number (1)

6.11 BACKGROUND OF STUDY

One of the most common problems found in project reports concerns the intelligibility of the work to the general reader. Students need to remember that, unlike his/her supervisor, the general reader has not had the benefits of discussing his/her work with the researcher. The background of study provides an opportunity to lead the reader ‘gently’ into the report, beginning by setting the scene very broadly and then progressively focusing on the nature of the topic to be addressed, and the reason it was chosen as the subject of the study.

6.12 CONTENTS AND LITERATURE REVIEW This section should give a detailed account of the topic to be studied, a comprehensive discussion (with references where appropriate) of relevant work which has previously been carried on by another researcher in the field of study. All materials taken verbatim from articles, textbooks etc, must be presented in quotation marks.

Examples of fully referenced review of the literature

1. According to Robinson and Bennett (1995), workplace deviant behaviour can vary based on its target: organizational and individual. Organizational targets can be further categorized into property deviance and production deviance.

2. Sabotage, fight at work, threat, assault, harassment and use of abusive language are among the cases of workplace deviant behaviour reported to the Malaysian Labour Department. Unfortunately, there is no formal statistics on the phenomenon of WDB produced by the Malaysian Labour Department (Shamsudin & Rahman, 2006).

6

3. In the case of Malaysia, very few published studies pertaining to this subject has been traced. For instance, Shamsuddin (2003) explored the level of workplace deviance within the hotel industry and how these behaviours vary according to employees’ work-related attitudes.

6.13 METHODOLOGY AND FINDINGS The structure of the report will largely be determined by the nature of the project, and only general guidance can be given here. In general, a detailed account will be given, and how it was processed and/or analyzed. Any results obtained will also be presented here, but not the discussion of these results.

6.14 DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS This is the heart of the report, where students will present a critical appraisal of what has been written before, make comparisons and present arguments supported by his/her analysis of the results. Student should make clear the logical steps which lead to the conclusions he/she has drawn, and relate these conclusions to the objectives of the project.

6.15 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The conclusions should follow naturally from the analysis and should need no further comment, apart from any qualifications, which may apply to the conditions under which they hold. It is felt that actions should be taken on the basis of the conclusions then such recommendations should be stated there.

6.16 APPENDICES

Any materials which is not necessary for the general reader to follow the report’s arguments should be placed in the appendix. Such material should, nevertheless, must be relevant to the work, and is included for those readers who may wish to question the findings or to pursue the work further.

6.17 REFERENCES

Detailed reference should be given so that the reader may know what sources the writer drew on, which information is

7

attributed to which source and to find the original information for checking it or to obtain more information.

References may be presented according to the Harvard system or APA system. References to periodicals should be listed as follows: authors’ surnames and initials (instead of first author et al). Year of publication in parentheses, exact title of paper, contracted title of periodical in italics (or underlined), volume number in Arabic figure (in bold print) initial and final page numbers of article.

6.19 CORRECTIONS
