Assuming that your supervisor proposed this research idea and you agreed to do the research for them.
(1)You wrote 80-90% of the paper and performed the experiments.
Of course you discussed with the supervisor as you went along, but you conducted the experiment and wrote the paper on your own.
Who should be the first author of the paper?
(2)After that paper, you got this idea to extend the initial idea; you conducted another experiment and wrote another paper on your own.
Who should be the first author of the paper?

If we don't "publish", how do we proof the validity of our work? In my mind, if I could at least publish the work(s) in a peer-reviewed conference proceedings, then I may be able to convince the examiner that the work has "some" validity (may not be true of course).

National conference proceeding.
International conference proceeding.
Journal.
Must it be peer reviewed.
