❥TASK 

For this assignment, we will be writing a draft dissertation which includes an analysis, discussion and conclusion based off the primary and secondary data gathered from design research methodology. 

The lists of content in the dissertation must include :

• Acknowledgements
• Abstract
• Tables of content 
• Introduction
• Research rationale
• Theme
• Research problem
• Problem statement 
• Research Objectives
• Research questions
• Research conceptual framework diagram
• Literature review
• Methodology 
• Results & Findings
• Discussion
• Conclusion
• Future Research Recommendation 
• Appendices

We were first instructed to write a literature review matrix of the articles that are related to our chosen topic. 

Fig 1.1 Literature Review Matrix 

We were also instructed to start working on our first draft dissertation along with writing the literature review.

Fig 1.2 First draft dissertation 

Based off the feedback from the first draft, I had to make adjustments on some inconsistency in citations since some citations use full names and some only use initials and only the last name is allowed to be included along with the year if its an in text citation. 

Then I worked on methodology and there were no specific remarks from Ms Hayati for that section.
