REFLECTION 

Experience
This module might not be a brand new one as it is related to the previous module Design Research Dissertation. However, there were much new things to be explored. In this module, I am able to stregthen my insights from the lessons learned from the provious module.

Observation
All the tasks for this module is derived from the provious module, all the data collected was used the one before, however, there were some further enhancement if required. Writing a dissertation  is not an easy task, it required sufficient reading, knowledge, understanding and patience to fullfill this module. I’ve also aware to makesure my dissertation of each section is aligned with each other. Moreover, the visual design task also need to be conherence with the dissertation topic. In addition, I’ve also observed that deriving dissertation into article need to have a smaller scope of topic with that one being emphasize and with limited wordcount, it is quite challenging yet possible. This module has guided me to not just do research writing however also incorporate visual design task which has slowly developed me througout this 14 weeks.

Findings
I've founded that I need to have clear understanding of each chapter before begin one, because there need to be relevance of topic and consistnet writing throughout the dissertation. I also learned to design the paper into an E-Publication. This was not an easy task, especially with many pages to organized. I found that making form and patterns for several pages first has ease me to do the overall book layout. I poured much effort and time in this stage as every detail matters. Moving on to the last task, which is article, I first had a hard time figuring what to convey in a narrower aspect as I only have 1 R1 and RO. Nevertheles, feedback from lecturer has guide me to consize my article into a relevant smaller scope topic from my dissertation. Following the required word count in the article is also a challenge that thankfully I could face. This has taught me lesson to not beat around the bush. However, consize one could convey key informations too, i did many revisions to be able to get to the minimum words count. Lastly, I would like to share my gratitute for my lecturer, Dr.Hayati for the support and guidance throughout this semester.
