Final Project : Research Reflection Report

MODULE INFORMATION


INSTRUCTION
The final compilation in this research reflection report consists of the entire research journey from the formulation of the research proposal, research–critical review (secondary data) and research design (primary data and analysis). This research experience ought to have its reflection for each section of the processes that have been undertaken.

The students are to produce a digital publication (PDF) reflection report and a five minutes recorded presentation (audio, video, and slides presentation).

EXPLORATION
I spent some times to develop and compiled all the documents from the research proposal to the primary data and the final compilation of final reflection report was documented below :

Moreover, we were required to create a maximum 20 pages slide and a video presentation for the "final research presentation" :

FEEDBACK

Week 13

General Feedback: 
1. There are no limitations on the page and word count for the final reflection report; but the presentation slides are having a 20 page max.
2. Citations are only for the statements that are used in the report not compiling all the references from the previous assignment.
3. Recommended to embed/ link the PDF / PPT slides into the document.
4. Presenting in “no mask”.

Week 14

General Feedback: 
1. Make a script for the final presentation.
2. The presentation is only required to share the most significant parts of your journey.
3. Avoid having slides that are too wordy except for the key literature section.
4. Use either Zoom or Powerpoint to record the presentation in order to simplify the process.


REFLECTION

Week 13
During this specific week, I was continuing working on my raw data and ended up with a total of 272 slides for analyzing the data collection. I'll just say that I spent too much time creating and examining the raw data, which led to a snowball effect in my final reflection report. I was suffering and miserable at the moment, and mounds of assignment deadlines arrived in an instant, making me feel even more depressed. I spent a few days putting myself back on track after settling on the primary data.

Week 14
This week was regarded as overwhelming and stressful, and I was unable to accomplish the assignment on time before the deadline. However, as the semester had came to an end , it was amazing to state that I acquired some benefit and ideas for UI/UX design throughout the main data process, and I considered that the knowledges and insights that I obtained indirectly throughout the modules had generally benefited my future studies in UI/UX design. Throughout the semester , it became clear that my literary mode was a bit lower than it had been before enrolling in a design degree, which presented a significant problem. Since I had been focused on graphics over 365 days, I found it difficult to be frightened by the wordy pieces, which slowed the overall pace. Since my challenge, I've felt that the inclusion of this module, Design Research Methodology, is intended to rebuild our research skills rather than to turn us into designers who can just design.
