DRAFT DISSERTATION

Week 1 - Week 6

We were required to use Google foam to create a table for the Matrix, it was easier for us to do literature review based on the matrix we did, and gave a structure and direction for our research paper on which way we going to go through.

Here is the matrix I did , I choose 8 article/journal for my matrix:

After that, we started work on our Literature Review then Methodology section on week 4, Discussion section on week 5, and the rest sections on week 6.

Here is the Draft 1 that I did:



After getting feedback from Dr Hayati this is the second one:

FEEDBACK

Week 2
Dr.Hayati said is needed to add Acknowledge, and Abstract is before the table of content

Week 3
Good to categorize in quite lots, the keywords cant wrote by ourselves need to follow the research, paper, choose 2 paper to compare, the strength/weakness. Need to add title page

Week 4
Is good that i started introduction, can send email to Mr Ivon to have an interview, so that i can get a more professional and reliable data

Week 5
Be careful of using From,while as the beginning of the sentences, state where MDA come from, need to explain as much as i can, need to expect readers doesn’t know anything,if using website article need to mention

Week 6
Dr Hayati will extend the deadline and open a new submission box for me to upload my latest complete draft dissertation and need to be done by Sunday



REFLECTION

Week 2
Matrix is quite easier, because we had did the problem statement,research question/objectives is the previous semester,so just copy and paste inside. 
I started to do the introduction part which need to write an intro for the study
Week 3 Literature review is quite hard for me, because i almost forgot the content of the articles that i read in previous semester,so i need to re-read all 7 articles and find out more articles that may be includes and help my study and this takes lots of time to do 
Week 4 Compare to the Literature review, this section is more easier to complete, but there was lots of work. For each method, i write down the pros and cons, the progress of collecting data, what/where i use to collect data…. It takes a longer time to complete… but the interview sections is empty because i haven receive any email of agreement on the online interview from professionist 
Week 5 Discussion is the hardest part to me, it needs to include all the information from the literature review to findings and need to answer our research questions. The hardest thing for me is that i haven't received the interview answer yet, so it might have some problems while writing it. 
Week 6 I am still working on my discussion sections and left the conclusion part. A few days later, i finally receive the interview answer from the interviewee, so I'm rushing on adding the analysis in Methodology sections and the findings of the results and it is quite stress
