"Prof. Nik Hazrul is innovative in his teachings. Rather than pouring out complicated theories from the textbooks (like some of the previous workshops that I have attended before), he provided us with first-hand opportunity to taste the bittersweet of conducting research from scratch to producing a full research paper. His focus on student-centered learning methods enabled us to experience this, and more importantly “apply the knowledge” to our own research projects. In summary, the bits and pieces that we collected in other research methods classes were fully taught in his one class. This has become an eye-opener to us and to the research world."

"I have attended many workshops but none has been as impressive and memorable as the one conducted by Prof. Nik. The teaching methods and instructions were very easy to understand and made me very confident in conducting my own research. The encouragement, advice and guidance given by Prof. Nik were excellent as every participant were ensured that they were on the right track from the beginning until the end of the 4-day workshop. The workshop is worth the money that I paid for and I would recommend researchers, old and new to join the workshop for a comprehensive and simplified research guidance. The workshop has been life-changing for me, especially in my studies and professional research endeavor."

"Prof. Nik is professional in that he is well versed in research knowledge especially in theory and pedagogy while taking into account the implications of the research to the industry. The unique teaching techniques used were very effective and easy to understand. The abilities of the trainers to communicate, present and facilitate participants were admirable. Other than gaining knowledge on a new and simplified way of conducting research, I have managed to widen my professional network and I continue to be touched by the friendship that I have developed at the workshop. This training is worth every penny and to those struggling with their research, this workshop is for you."

"Prof. Nik Mohd Hazrul is a very dedicated and supportive lecturer. He uses a unique teaching method in ensuring the achievement of the learning objectives. The workshop that I took with him is moulded to provide the necessary research skills and knowledge for training of new researchers. He provided hands-on opportunity on building the research skills and knowledge through the assignments given, as well as immediate feedbacks to improve the research projects of doctoral students. This brings research practicality to the doctoral students as novice researchers. In terms of personality, Prof. Nik is very approachable and easy-going lecturer. He is also willing to provide assistance and clarification in imparting skills and knowledge to students."
