Lecture 1:Module Briefing

Today's class started with a module briefing. Then, we had a short lecture on research and that they are 3 major ways of viewing or going about it.

1. Critical Review
2. Evaluation
3. Field Research

and were asked to come up with a proposal for our research paper - it can be anything related to the design field. We were also advised to look into our field of interest during this week when coming up with our proposal as this research could be useful to use during our senior year.

Here are the PDF slides for the Lecture this week.

• Research Objective: What aim do we have in mind when conducting a project. 
• Problem Question: An answerable inquiry related to the research objective.

PROPOSALS

Proposal 1
For the First Proposal, I was told to Make a Selection of your Area of Specialization which I had and This week we were told to look at one out of the 3 which are social-design, Future making, and culture.



proposal 2

Upon thinking about What my Research Topic would Be, i finally Chose African Culture In Animation.

Feedback: DR NOORHAYATI SAAD showed me that I shouldn’t use The word Diversity as i intended to but Rather specify, as the word diversity would be too open.  And that My idea is unique and i should do some more research on this, And i know my culture best.  Compile my findings in google slides by Next week.
