 ABSTRACT

Abstract is a summary of the whole Practical Training report. The abstract should have
summary of every chapter in the report. This abstract then need to be translated to
Bahasa Melayu in the next section (Abstrak). The abstract should not exceed 500
words and is written in one (1) paragraph only. Generally, the contents of abstract in
English tend to have less words than the contents for Abstrak in Bahasa Melayu.

ABSTRACT IS THE LAST THING TO WRITE IN EVERY REPORT. Starting to

write report from abstract mean that the report will never finish.

 ABSTRAK

Abstrak ialah satu bentuk penulisan yang merumuskan keseluruhan laporan Latihan
Praktik ini dalam Bahasa Melayu. Abstrak perlu mengandungi rumusan dari setiap bab
dalam laporan ini. Abstrak ini merupakan terjemahan kepada kandungan dalam
bahagian sebelum ini, iaitu Abstract dalam Bahasa Inggeris. Panjang abstrak haruslah
tidak melebihi 500 patah perkataan, dan ditulis dalam satu (1) perenggan sahaja.
Secara umumnya, kandungan abstrak dalam Bahasa Melayu akan lebih panjang dari

 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO PRACTICAL TRAINING

1.1. Introduction

In CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION TO PRACTICAL TRAINING, students are

supposed to introduce the CSC339 Practical Training course. The CSC339 course is a
compulsory course for CS110 Diploma in Computer Science Programme at Universiti
Teknologi MARA Sarawak Branch.

Students should only explain about the Practical Training course in this chapter.
Students may mention the name of the organisation they are attached at for Practical
Training, but do not discuss about the organisation in Chapter 1.

All texts in paragraphs should be formatted using the “C Body Text” style for correct
formatting. Students should replace these sample texts with their own texts. The “C
Body Texts” style should be used for correct formatting of all paragraphs in the
Practical Training Report.

The “C Bullet and Number Text” style should be used for bulleted or numbered lists
in the text, so that the spacing for bulleted and numbered lists is correct.

• The “C Body Texts” style applies the double-spacing between paragraphs.

• The “C Bullet Text” style do not apply the double-spacing between paragraphs.

 CHAPTER 4: DISCUSSION

4.1. Discussion

In this chapter students are supposed to discuss about the new technical knowledge,
skills, experiences, and other benefits that is gained during the Practical Training at
the organisation.

Students may discuss and reflect on how the new knowledge, skills, experiences, and

Diploma in Computer Science.

Students may also reflect on how the new knowledge, skills, experiences, and other
benefits changes their perspective in the field of computer science or any other fields.

4.2. Reflection on Personal Improvement During the Practical Training

During Practical Training, all students will grow a lot from what they previously were
when they were in UiTM. Students should reflect on their personal growth during the
practical training.

Other than improvements in their technical knowledge, skills or experiences discussed

in Section 4.1, all students will also gain other skills and experiences commonly
referred to as “soft skills” or “human skills”.

In this section, students should reflect and discuss their personal growth in term of
“soft skills” or human skills (kemahiran insaniah) such as effective (verbal and non-
verbal) communication, public speaking, effective writing, self-awareness, confidence,
empathy, open-mindedness, leadership, coaching, teamwork, cooperation, work ethic,
integrity, perseverance, life-long-learning, research, resourcefulness, adaptability to
change, taking calculated risks, etc. These are the skills that cannot be taught in a
classroom environment; but can only be learnt through personal experiences.

15
Students may add more sections in Chapter 4 to discuss other benefits that is gained
during Practical Training, if necessary.

16
 CHAPTER 5: CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

5.1. Conclusion

In Chapter 5, students are supposed to conclude their Practical Training Report. When
concluding the Practical Training Report, students may briefly describe the benefits
they have gained from the assigned project/tasks, from the organisation, and from the
