My Teaching and Learning Philosophy

Teaching means learning. When we teach, we are questing for knowledge. Hence, learning. Thus, teaching is a manifestation of lifelong learning. Being a teacher, is a lifelong learner, a learning designer. All this is due to my philosophy of "Life is a redox"; when one gives, another has to take, otherwise, life won't exist. Teaching is a devotion, not just a profession.

Important Prerequisite that people always let go: Passionate to explore

Assalamualaikum Word4Thesis's Fans,

My name is Dr Norliza Kushairi. Sometimes, I team up with Dr Zuli during his workshops.

Let me share some experience in dealing with enthusiastic participants during our workshops. 


From series of workshops done, I found that most of us are keen to learn MS Word for Thesis. However, we (not all) tend to forget ONE important element that we should bring together with us to the workshop, or even when we're alone. This forgettable element creates anxiety in us while writing a thesis


Before we start panicking that our thesis format betrays us, please, inculcate this 'element' in us:-

*PASSIONATE to EXPLORE

 Or simply ask ourselves: Am I passionate enough to explore (the features in Word)?

This SUPERB word (actually 'ATTITUDE') "PASSIONATE" might save us a hundred years of unnecessary stress and headaches.


What do I mean with 'PASSIONATE to EXPLORE'?

It means that "Don't be afraid to Explore, Dude". Easy.

The underlying meaning is - BE BRAVE, BE COURAGEOUS to HIT THE KEYBOARD (Mat Salleh kata, 'don't be  a coward, after all it's just a keyboard, they cannot bite you'). Difficult.

Now, tips....
Be naughty with your keyboard...
Be mischievous with your computer screens..
Click and explore anywhere on MS word features that you like...that you are afraid before...

So, friends, I am reminding myself too - just feel free to explore the features in MS Word....
*click any tabs, 
*punch any menus, 
*scroll up and down the submenus, 
*jump up and down all the options, 
*climb up and down the buttons, 
try and error, later, you will be surprised by how you learn things so fast...

...and how you find yourself submitting your thesis in no time! insya Allah.

Till then. 



These message/tip will also be available in our forthcoming book (with Mohd Zuli Jaafar)
