FEEDBACK
Week 2
The text are too much in the literature review table, reduce it in each columns. And for the research questions and research objectives, change the number list from 1; 2; 3 to 1.5.1; 1.5.2; 1.5.3. Three research questions get three research objectives.
Week 7
In the gap of study, I see that you are putting limitation in it, maybe you can write it in a new session. Don't mix them together. Then, in the research methodology, break them into two paragraphs, be aware of the readability. All else are good, you can start writing your data analysis and discussion.
Week 10
Make sure you align the gap of study to problem statement, they are not two entirely different things. Focusing to the sampling procedure method, be more specific, like what are the sample size, who are the samples, why do you need this amount of result, how to achieve this amount, etc. Expand your discussion, there is too much technical improvement, try to talk about the implication, such as what's the implications of these, what kind of technology may be involved, etc.
REFLECTIONS
Completing this dissertation was a significant relief. Given my lack of confidence in writing, this module initially caused a great deal of stress. Despite having completed parts of my dissertation within this module, my workload did not decrease substantially due to having different supervisors for each module, each offering distinct opinions and suggestions. This led to numerous amendments, especially after removing a research question, which required careful adjustments for accuracy. Additionally, since I had not completed the literature review in the previous semester, I had to invest more time in it than my classmates.
Reflecting on the tasks, the discussion chapter proved to be the most challenging. I spent a considerable amount of time revisiting my primary data and critical reviews, and I had to consult numerous secondary sources to support my discussion. Initially, we were tasked with outlining the discussion, which my supervisor approved. However, as I progressed, I realized that the outline did not adequately address my research questions. Despite the frustration, I stayed optimistic, grateful to have identified the problem early. With Dr. Charles's helpful suggestions, I was able to rewrite parts of the discussion more effectively. Fortunately, I managed to complete the other tasks on time and to a satisfactory standard.
In conclusion, although the writing process was stressful and challenging, it significantly improved my writing skills. I am proud and satisfied with my hard work and progress. I am also very grateful to Dr. Charles for his unwavering support and valuable feedback throughout the semester.
