1. Social Science – Research 2. Humanities – Research Research is the sine qua non of a good and credible university. While research activities are usually associated with post graduate work, undergraduates in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, a premier research university, are afforded the platform for discipline-based critical scholarly inquiry. These undergraduates from the six schools in the Social Sciences and Humanities faculty are exposed to supervisors. This book presents an examination of the conduct of the academic Exercise from the process of supervision, the conduct of the Academic Exercise from the process of supervision, the conduct of assessment, the development of skills, the infrastructure support and the networking and linkages. So, what is extraordinary about this book? As the quantitative study allowed the undergraduates to ‘voice’ their inner thoughts and perceptions, educationist and key policy makers in tertiary institutions keen on enhancing the research-supervisor-supervisee-triadic dialogues should listen to them. The challengers of supervision, the issues concerning assessment and the need for better infrastructure support, balanced by the invaluable experience of working independently and the opportunity for networking, make this book a not-to-be-missed read.
