With everything that’s been going around, it’s a relief that we are finally done with this semester and through this period I’ve learned a lot new things this semester. Firstly, learning to make a survey questions and coming up with focus questions were some of the difficult part of this course. I had done something similar like this during my AD course in AAEPC. It was quite similar, setting a survey form and writing a report but it was an individual project so unlike this research project I didn’t had to work with other group members or rely on them. So for a change we had to be in a group and work together to build a better project by listening to each other’s suggestions and respect the other members.
Through the process, one of the fun part was designing a survey form and asking our friends to look it and give us some suggestions or feedbacks before we put it out for the real participants. After getting some suggestions we would shorten or sometimes change the questions to make it easier for the participants to understand. Hence it was a successful process because after that we got more than 50 respondents who were not only from Hong Kong but Australia too.
Last but not the least, I would like to thanks some of the people who helped me get through this project. First, my fellow group mates who worked hard to make sure that we don’t fall behind during the online course period as we saw some of the other groups were struggling to keep up with the deadlines since we were having online classes. But thanks to one of my groupmate, Deeran he kept on giving us deadline reminders which helped a lot on the way. I would also like to thank all the participants for helping us out by completing the research form and the focus group for BCM210 for taking part in the interview. Finally, a huge thanks to Maria our course leader for helping me out when I had problems with my topic, sending emails to remind us of the assignment deadlines and just being there to listen and give us feedbacks all the time. I appreciate all the little things that you all teachers do to look after us, know that it doesn’t go unnoticed. Thank you for being phenomenal.
