I was confused at the beginning of my doctoral
journey--mainly due to the fact that I did not study "Theory of
Knowledge" during my pre-university time.
In Western countries, this
course is compulsory and it expects students who had completed this course
successfully to justify the following:
- How they know what they have known.
- Which domain of knowledge they gain what they know
- What kind of proposition they use to form a statement
After reading "Theory of Knowledge" and taking a
series of courses on philosophical studies alongside my PhD journey, all my
confusion disappeared by themselves.

It's a pity that I do not see any courses
alike in Malaysia, but I have been sharing this with my students since my
return from UK in 2011.
