Assignment 1 - Proposal
Week 2
The research problem is preferred to say How designers design a particular design, and what are the psychological aspect inside. However, do not prioritise psychological terms. Try to look at other perspectives, such as particular consideration of a certain design and be specific Pick the design that want to focus on carefully. Do more research on the research article in the proposal.
Week 3
The word "aspect" is not specific enough, so narrow it down. Prevent writing your research paper as a designer and remember that you are doing this research as a student. The research objectives and research questions are interrelated. Fundamentals design principles in the research questions and objectives are more appropriate than using the words 'key elements and principles'. The reference is too old (2000), try to find a reference that is within 5 years.
Week 4
Rewrite the rationale about why you conducted this research not the interest in selecting the specialisation and avoid writing in the first person of view. The suggestion on the rationale can be the importance of interaction design in ux. Some of the sentences can be retained and cited with reference. The research is not introducing any new knowledge, so the sentence "Despite these findings, there is limited research that identifies..." should be written from an exploring perspective. Use the same words in research objectives and research questions.
Assignment 2 - Critical Review
Week 5
Public Holiday
Week 6
State the unaccessible resources observation with critique. Explain the importance in the part of weakness. Include a heading or summarization of the articles with the similarities and critique in one topic. Keep the first 3 articles for one topic and research another 2 articles for another topic. The research design of the article can be included in the critical review.
Week 7
Cite the in-text citation insteads of the authors. The critic is sound and taking place in the majority of the paper. On the conclusion of second articles, the last sentence can be written in "Despite the weaknesses, the paper still....". The critical review of second articles is well written. The way of writing the summary and conclusion are adequate and effective way of writing the critique because it's concise and also at the same time able to explain your view of the paper. The way of writing critical reviews can be applied on the next two critical reviews. The fourth and the fifth research articles are suitable for critical review. There is a suggestion about assignment 3, that you can interview the author's of chosen research articles in critical review, but first you have to do a research about the interviewers background.

Week 8
Independent Learning Week
Week 9
Cite the resources. prefer to have more interviewee with a minimum 5 years of experience in the selected area to prevent the interviewee not responding. It is recommended to ask the interviewee a minimum of 2-5 open-ended questions that allow for a broader range of responses so it will not restrict their ability to express their thoughts freely. Justify all of the selection (choice of website and platform ) and list out the research question with justification.
Week 10
The survey should incorporate both quantitative and qualitative research methods, including open-ended questions, in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the user experience. It is important to include open-ended questions to gather in-depth qualitative data on how users perceive and experience the subject of study. The option for the question of frequency visiting the website is suitable and related.
Week 11
Keep the survey open to receive more response. Asking friend around me share the survey to increase the response. Keep finding the interview until the next semester starts.
Assignment 4 - Final Report and Presentation
Week 12
Rename the presentation slides to your research title, decrease the font sizes. The title of the presentations could be Visual Representation on Positive User Experience". Place each key literature in one page, alter the fonts size. Shorten the strengths of literature to 3. Apply visual hierarchy and some graphical elements to the slides. the data analysis part is good, try to make the whole slides interesting.
Week 13
Public Holiday
Week 14
In the bibliography, the improvement can be made on decreasing the font size. Can add on some words to balance the whole slide to prevent too wordy. Allocate space for video to appear and is the justification reason. Spend one more slide to include the candidates approached and a short rational indicate why they were selected. The researchers still await any of this candidates to respond. References is for people to know the information you cited earlier on. The citation and references still need to include in the presentation slides.
