Workshop on Failures of Graduate Students in Scientific Theses

The Quality and Development Unit, in cooperation with the Department of Jurisprudence at the Islamic University of Minnesota, Main Center, organized a lecture entitled "Failures of Graduate Students in Scientific Theses."

The lecture was delivered by Dr. Salah Faraj, Head of the Department of Jurisprudence and its Fundamentals, and moderated by Dr. Fatima Juma Al-Wahsh, Director of the Quality and Development Unit.

The lecture addressed three main axes: the most important failures, the causes of failures, and the methods of treatment.

In her intervention, Dr. Fatima Juma Al-Wahsh focused on the importance of the preparatory stages that precede scientific research, which are no less important than the research itself, namely: determining the title, identifying the research problem, setting objectives, defining the scope of the research, and choosing the research methodology.

Dr. Salah Faraj discussed the reasons for the failure of graduate students in scientific theses, the most important of which are: distraction and lack of study and follow-up, lack of organization and planning, ignorance in the methods and methodology of scientific research, and ignorance in the knowledge of scientific books.

Dr. Faraj also touched on the methods of treatment, which include: focusing on writing the thesis, avoiding distraction, organized and sound planning, dividing the plan over time, dividing the research into chapters, making good use of time, and reading and listening.

The lecture witnessed a great deal of interaction from the attendees, as the discussion was opened at the end of the lecture, and the two doctors participated in answering the inquiries.
