MODULE INFORMATION
INSTRUCTION
We are instructed to select relevant secondary sources such as publications and online journal articles (total of five articles). Ensure the article are relevant to the research topics and updated (within the last 5 years ; 2017-2022). Then, write a review critically and synthesise them on these five articles.
EXPLORATION
For the Week 6, it can stated no progression for me on critical review draft since I still exploring and searching for the potential research articles. But for the particular week, I did showed my progression and yet questioned my confusion towards the assignments.
Week 7 progression :

For the week 7 progression check, I presented my critical review on my first article yet receiving some feedbacks from Dr. Hayati. In facts on this moment, my progression had slightly slower than my other peer so I need to rush up the time to submit before the deadline.

FEEDBACK
Week 6 / 06.10.2022 @ Critical Review
General Feedback :
APA reference for the research proposal was incorrect, take the library workshop as samples to revise it.
APA reference for the research proposal was incorrect, take the library workshop as samples to revise it.
Specific Feedback :
Research articles :
1. You don’t necessarily have to focus on Shopee. As you were doing a comparative study, Shopee and Amazon were only the instrument for your evaluation to compare and contrast but should be within the areas of UI/UX design.
2. To check whether the article is relevant, you may check on how the author studies towards UI/UX design.
3. It is fine to have content without Shopee and Amazon, but must have context within your areas of study, but it is necessary when you are doing your primary data.

REFLECTION
Week 5
For this particular week, I experienced the Mendeley application and started to revise the proposal based on the feedback given. My progress this week has been a little slower than I had anticipated because I've been spending a lot of time reading and researching the articles that will be the subject of my critical review.
Week 6
I found that I was complicating something very simple and facing myself in a frustrating situation. After a feedback session with Dr. Hayati, luckily things got better and I overcame the "hardships", although I was actually on the right track with the research article.
Week 7
This week, controlling my time has been the biggest problem. As the deadline approaches and my progress slows, I need to devote more time to this task than anybody else. Not only that, but I discovered that, in addition to time, my attention had a significant role in my progress. As a design student, I was annoyed with the article pdf because of the extensive drawing and idea of the drawing board, and I felt tired at first sight. But luckily, at the end, using the oldest hardcopy approach in this technological age is my final resort to complete the task.
