As usual the session started at 9:30am with the invocation of the 99 beautiful names of Allah SWT (asma' al husna) followed by the recitation of umm al kitab Surah al-Fatihah (The Opening) at ISDEV Resource Room, D04 ISDEV Building. 

Both MISDEV and RISDEV female students attended the lecture that day.

The lecture covered four main areas. First Dr Fadzila Azni gave an overview on JEPeM and shared with ISDEV students, both MISDEV (Mixed-Mode ISDEV Postgraduate) and RISDEV (Research Mode ISDEV Postgraduate) students related issues pertaining to the application for JEPeM and the implications to their research. Lastly students are to be mindful and assess "To Have or Not to Have" whether their research falls within the purview of JEPeM as it is advisable to get JEPeM's approval early so as to prevent any hitches when they are ready to proceed especially with the empirical phase of their research.
