On Friday 1 March 2019 the Centre for Islamic Development Management Studies (ISDEV) Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) held its first Monthly Graduate Supervision for the year 2019. It was held at ISDEV Resource Room, D04 Building and started at 9:30am sharp. ISDEV Deputy Director, Dr Wan Norhaniza Wan Hasan provided an interactive platform for the students that day. She began the session requesting students to answer the question "What are the Challenges faced as a Postgraduate Student at ISDEV?" through one of the Learning Management Systems available on the internet - the Mentimeter.  

Using the Word Cloud answer scheme, a plethora of problems that seem to pull students to be out of focus on their studies showed up on the screen. The most pertinent challenge, the phrase that stood out among all the rest was - Time Management. Dr Wan invited ISDEV Founder, Professor Dr Muhammad Syukri Salleh, to advise students on this issue that plagues the students most. Interestingly Prof Syukri mentioned that it is not time per se that is the challenge but more so the Energy Management that matters. He said that as humans at times we would have set out to accomplish certain tasks for the day but as the day went by it was not time that we did not have in our hands but actually our energy level had depleted making it close to impossible to get the things that we have set out to do to be accomplished well that day.
