Process

For this final assignment, we needed to compile all of the contents from the proposal, research and

research implementation into the research report as well as to produce a PowerPoint that include 

1. Research topic
2. Research area
3. Problem statement, Research objective(s), Research question(s)
4. Research rationale
5. Literature review (research)
6. Research implementation (selection and justification of primary research methods)
7. Data collected from primary research
8. Reference list
9. Picture credit list
   

After that we needed to record a presentation from the slides. I first started by working on the reflection report.

Reflections

Throughout these 14 weeks, this module has been a mix of challenges and interests. It has provided me with a deeper understanding of various research methods, their applications, and the importance of selecting the right methodology for a specific research question. As someone accustomed to drawing and designing, this module was unfamiliar territory, and I had no idea what to expect. However, I embraced the challenges that came my way.

To be honest, it was tough at times, but looking back, I am genuinely grateful for this module. It opened up a new perspective for me to analyze designs and films, and I realized the significance of problem-solving and attention to detail in conducting research.

I've learned about the importance of research design, data collection techniques, and data analysis in obtaining meaningful research findings. The tasks presented valuable insights into planning, conducting, and interpreting research.

Overall, I highly value the experiences gained and the fresh approach it brought to my work. This module has undoubtedly contributed to my growth as a researcher and a designer.
