FEEDBACK

Week 13 :

General feedback
Students are advised to change the research title based on the focus of the journal article. 
Specific feedback
Only pick the appendices that you are focused on in this journal article. Some of the sentences can be rephrased. The introduction can have more connection to the research objectives. You need to mention that the focus of the article is just a part of the research you have done in the research methodology. 

Week 14 :

General feedback
No general feedback.
Specific feedback
There are some minor changes that could be done on the journal article (some structure of sentences, grammar mistakes). The flow of the overall article is fine. You have consistent progress throughout the entire semester. 

REFLECTION

In this assignment, we are tasked to turn our dissertation into a journal article. There is a strict guideline with specific word counts on each section. I narrowed down the scope of research to the roles and importance of visual attributes of character design. I have done 75% of the journal article this week, and was waiting to gain some feedback from Dr. Hayati. The deadline of this project has been extended to Week 15, but I manage to complete it by Week 14 because I have another huge project to work on in Week 15. 

I really appreciate my lecturer, Dr. Hayati who is willing to spend her time reviewing the students’ work patiently. Words can’t express how much I appreciate her support throughout the journey.
