Title: Basics of Research Studies that They Don't Teach You at the Graduate School
Speaker: Prof. T.H. Tse (The University of Hong Kong, Pokfulam, Hong Kong)

ABSTRACT:
In this talk, we will help you to identify the the most important elements of research studies that they don't teach you at the graduate school. For example, what are the common mistakes that most graduate students make? How should you really attack a research problem? How should you really prepare your research proposal? Should you publish journal papers or conference papers? Are SCI and EI indexes really important? What should you really do when attending conferences? When should you really start writing your thesis? When should you really put into your thesis? We hope you will learn more about the serious business of research studies while enjoying the talk.
