Lectures:

Dr Hayati and Dr Jinchi introduced us to our final assignment which is to create a 5-minute presentation of everything we have done so far and a final research report. We were provided with the format to follow.

Final Report

I started working on my final presentation slides. I created the first version and after feedback from Dr Jinchi, I modified them to record the final presentation.

With these done, the next step was to record my presentation using Zoom as suggested by Dr Hayati and Dr Jinchi.

The last thing to submit was the research report which is a compilation of everything we have done so far in one document.

Feedback:

Week #13: Dr Jinchi looked through my slides for my final presentation. I have to make minor changes such as adding the assignment title and student number. She also suggested that instead of reading my ROs and RQs one by one, I should just introduce them and leave the slide on for 1-2 seconds so it can be read. Same goes for my critical review research article's bibliography. If the title is too long, don't read it and just mention the first authors name. I should also bold or highlight the important key words in my strenghts and data analysis to save time and stay focused. For my data analysis, I don't have to read the description of the primary research methods and I should summarise my analysis in point form and shorten it. Lastly, the images I am showcasing can be put on each slide and I can show each briefly as I introuduce it. 

Week #14: Dr Jinchi gave me feedback on my overall progress in the module so far. She mentioned that all my work was good and suitable to my research. She also mentioned about how this work will be relevant next semester and what I can do during the holidays to benefit my progress such as browse through some articles in my free time and etc. Next week, we will meet for a short while just to discuss how to wrap things up with our assignments and blogs as well. 

Reflection:

Week #13: It feels a bit surreal compiling all the slides with the entire semester's work. I am a bit anxious about recording the final presentation because I get a little nervous and it has to be 5 minutes so I definitely do not want to waste time on unnecessary details. My slides can be shortened and more summarised after Dr Jinchi's feedback so that will help the time limit.

Week #14: My individual meeting with Dr Jinchi went well and she gave me a lot of pleasant feedback on my progress in the semester so that was really reassuring. After her session, I recorded my final video and I think that went well too I am glad it was in the time limit and it did not take me a lot of tries. Its pretty cool to see all the work come together.
