Week 5

Week 5 is the final week for submission of coursework one. I am happy with my coursework and have submitted it through turn it in. My lab tutor had shown me that I could first have a practice submission before submitting my final coursework to see if I have any plagiarism and then adjust this and submit it again. When I did the practice submission, it showed that I had 0% plagiarism therefore I didn't have to change anything and I had sent this off.

During week 5, our lab tutor had given us an insight about our next coursework, which is Interaction Design: Coursework 2. For this coursework it is compulsory to buy a CD Book worth £12 from our lecture that would help us complete it. The purpose of this purchase is to encourage us to invest in our future, by buying relevant books. We are to read through this 100+ page CD Book and to select a research and design question that interests me.

Our research must include an method. These methods can be: Questionnaire, survey, Observation, Prototype study, Case study or experiment.

During one of our lectures, the lecturer had thoroughly went through each of these methods so we can gain an insight about the disadvantages and advantages of these when applying our research and design question to it. From this I had learnt very quickly about why Questionnaires and experiments are good for researches and therefore I want to apply these two to my design question.
