Module Information Booklet

For this assignment, we have to adapt our dissertation into the format of a research article. We need to download the KREATE template and then take the content from our dissertation and trim it to fit the template.

After some feedback from Dr Jinchi, I made changes to the article.

I had to make some small amendments before submitting my final version.

Feedback:

Week #12: This week Dr Jinchi showed us the journal article template and what we must do with it. She mentioned that we can choose some RQs to focus on for the paper and we don't have to include all of our RQs. We need to follow the format carefully and trim down our dissertation effectively and efficiently to fit the template.

Week #13: I need to make some small changes throughout my article. I need to add a proper introduction to my Methodology and Discussion. I also need to add more evidence from primary research as well as secondary research to help support my points.

Week #14: Last class before submission, I need to add my visual analysis into my Appendix. It needs to just be a sample and not the entire analysis. I also need to tidy up my conclusion a little and reiterate the research methods used. Overall Dr Jinchi mentioned that I had done well and that my discussion section was effective in its purpose.

Reflection:

Week #12: It's kind of cool how we get to format our dissertation into a proper research article, like the ones we used for our own research.

Week #13: This is a fairly simple task but it is still kind of hard to cut down some areas and refine it so it still makes sense. So far I need to fix some of the methodologies because I got a bit confused between my dissertation and article.

Week #14: I am almost down and I think it is looking good. It's really cool to see my dissertation in the format of a research article. Dr Jinchi mentioned that if our work is selected it would actually get published in Taylor's KREATE journal.
