Dissapointed with written proposal marker

WHY ? - One of the lecturer who marked Yen Wei's and mine written proposal only gave us satisfactory for no apparent reasons.

We were confident that we did our Introduction, Literature Review, Research Hypothesis and Objective, Materials and Methods and References well. Moreover, our proposals follows the instruction of our supervisors ( Associate Professor Dr.Ammu Radhakrishnan and Associate Professor Dr. Chu Wan Loy) and were went through by them for comments and modifications before submitted to AAD.

I don't know whether did the marker really did read my literature review, which I put in a lot of effort looking for the journals and facts because there isn't any signs of marking on it, fine.

But the marker who is a PhD somehow thinks that he/she???(don't wanna give a clue here who is he/she-herein after refer as SH) have problem with the methods proposed by our two supervisors who are currently holding the title of AP and the methods approved by the research committee.

SH seems having difficulties understanding this paragraph, which is very understandable and clear to any persons who knows English.



Then, SH seems to be not satisfy with this paragraph, asking us to state the concentration of Spirulina extract that we will be using in our research. But my question back to SH is - how are we supposed to know what concentration that we should use before completing this research ? If we are able to tell you the concentration, then this will just become an EXPERIMENT, not RESEARCH!



We are looking for whether Spirulina extract (methanolic extract in my case) does protect against oxidants-induced cell death. After conducting the research only then I will be able to tell you my findings what concentration of Spirulina extract can protect against how much of an oxidant, and not before all the research! If I know it I would have become god who can predict the future, now earning Millions of dollars and not suffering doing lab work until midnight 4am.

Please lah to SH, next time if you have any questions please contract our supervisors extension no. for Dr.Ammu is 1184 and Dr.Chu is 1185 to ask, don't just make people doubt your qualification to mark our paper.
