FINAL COMPILATION
TASK 1 - DISSERTATION DRAFT
27/09/2024 - 15/11/2024 WEEK 01 - WEEK 08 
We were tasked to create a draft dissertation using the previous topic from Design Research Methodologies Module. The draft dissertation should contains the following part instructed in MIB :
  • Introduction
  • Literature Preview
  • Research Methodologies
  • Result/Findings
  • Analysis / Discussion
  • Conclusion
  • Project Design Recommendation
  • References List / Picture Credit List
  • Appendix 
On the first week, we had to start the Introduction until the literature review. Mr. Asrizal gave us some sample of past student works and we could create a literature matrix to organize and compare each research paper and collecting the main information to support our research. View the link and file below for literature matrix :

REFLECTIONS
Learning Research Dissertation was such a challenging and mixed feeling for me. At first, I got no hope since we continue our methodologies topic, which I did not got a good marks on these modules so I was pessimistic on what happened to this module too.

Moving on to the task 1, I do enjoy writing especially writing fictions or story but when it comes to writing research paper, it was not easy as writing fictions. I found it hard when I want to connect each of the sentences, but it turns out to a nonsense words. As a result, I use AI to help me built a good sentences.

As for the task 2, it was the scariest task for me as we're gonna having a high risk if our similarity and AI surpass the percentage limits. Next, task 3 is my favourite task definitely. I got a chance to learn Indesign tools and publish visual book. Same with the last task, it is not really hard and I could do it without any problem.

At last, Big thanks to my lecturer, Mr. Asrizal that always standby in the teams whenever we want to ask for feedback. All of his feedback were useful and I could tell that he is tried his best to guide all the students. Hopefully I could do better to improving my research if I got to working on the research paper again. This module was a good starting point probably and I'm grateful for what I have learned and done. It's not only taught me to write a research but it also taught me on creativity to visualise what have been written on the dissertation. ദ്ദി
