Meeting report

The meeting was took place in ADMC at 3:35 PM on 26 Oct 2011. It contained three points about student research at ADMC to be discussed and then decide the date & the purpose of the next meeting.

Yousef Alhashmi the leader of the committee began the meeting with discussing the development of student research at ADMC; we discussed positive issues and negative issues regarding research at ADMC in order to come up with ideas to develop researches. We agreed that there are other valuable sources that students can use beside the common source which the internet. The sources that had been mentioned are public libraries, books, articles, ADMC library data base and many other sources. However the leader decided to create a research guideline that students can follow in order to come up with a professional research. 

Then we discussed the establishment of research training courses. And we agreed that these courses must be given in during the beginning levels. But Abdulla sales disagreed with that opinion and he said that master students need these courses also. However the leader decided to discuss this issue further in the next meeting in order to stick to the time. Then we discussed the cost of these courses and how can we reduce the cost of these courses and convince the ADMC administration to approve them. Two solutions had been found in order to reduce the cost of research training courses. The first one is to teach few top level students these courses by experienced instructors and then these students can teach new students how to create a professional research. The second solution is to contact top graduated students to volunteer to teach the new students.

The last topic of the meeting agenda was the product. We decided that our product that will be handed to the ADMC administration will be list of recommendations, research guideline & establishment of research training courses. The leader asked the committee members to write the thoughts about the recommendations and research guidelines to be discussed in the next meeting on 10 Nov 2011   

The meeting finished smoothly and all members participated very well & shared their points of views without any interruption. All points & objective have been covered & discussed and we finished on time.
