        Read thru only & comment should be fine. It’s always good to have a 2nd or 3rd opinion especially such an impt doc haha.


        I dont know what to do over the long weekend. Past few days every day went out so tiring.

          Lol. I’ve read hundreds of thesis documents so far as a project supervisor. It’s easy to tell the difference between someone who just want to get the assignment over with, and someone who really CARES about the topic he/she is researching. And that’s what determines the grade.

              As long as they are still the writer and all the ideas are theirs. There isn't a rule that you can't ask anyone to read and comment - supervisors will, anyway. And asking someone to proofread has always been acceptable as long as it is only for simple errors.

              It can be a slippery slope though - some people may ask for and accept a lot more help than just comments and proofreading, and at the extreme, there are those essay writing services that promise to write the whole thesis for you! That last one, if the student is found out, will mean that the thesis gets rejected.

                Chief, I was just thinking about the 'originality' of the work.. some people will have more passion than the others..agree.. and due to certain factors that piece of work may somehow fall below expectations.. I think not unusual kind of circumstances. But it should be that person's own job/efforts that should be evaluated right? :?

                    I think this is considered as \"Cheating\", not only the thesis gets rejected, the students should be given a demerit.

                      Do we need to write thesis for masters? I did my mba at Nus and my friends did masters in financial engineering but We don’t recall writing anything. In my undergrad direct honours program, I only recalled doing FYP that’s all….

                        There can be many writings to do. I have one that of more exam and final in writing… and another all writings at the later modules which is more than 50% of the whole.


                        So if there is help in the piece of write-up…hmm I personally feel the unfair advantage there…

                        But in our ksp kaki case, very likely more on flow/language la I guess…
