Let's try to use this as a forum for discussing your design research progress. Post your enquiries here and if anyone has any comments or feddback that would help the person who enquired, please do so. Writing your thesis may be an individual's job, but the research process can be a collaborative effort. And we are a community here on this blog, right? :-)
Anyway, i will moderate and monitor the posts and answer any enquiries that you may have from time to time. Hopefully these feedback and comments will be beneficial to your work.
So to start it off, just a quick recap of what to expect during our consultation times.
1. Form your study groups and try to meet as a group once a week to discuss your progress BEFORE you see me during your appointed consultation time. This will help to make our meeting time more efficient.
2. Please adhere to formatting rules. This will become very important once we get started on your Report 1.
3. Don't forget what goes into your Assignment 1: Proposal, Gantt Chart, Research Questions and a copy of your approved FYP.
4. We will be discussing Report 1 next week during consultation so please meet your research groups.
5. For lecture next Tuesday, please read the 5-page conference paper by Gerald Shortland-Webb and try to answer these:
- Who did this research?
- Why was this research done?
- What was the research issue?
- What was the research objective?
- What were the research question(s)?
- How did the researcher go about collecting the data?
- What did the research find?
- What was the recommendation(s)?
