Proposal :

After few weeks of discussion with our group members, we came out with a proposal. We always have group meetings in Microsoft teams so that we could gather our information without mixing with our group chatting in whatsapp.

Figure 1.1 Proposal PDF

We compile our ideas from each member on a google doc created by group leader and convert it into PDF. All members will get access to the google doc so that we could add our ideas and research into the google doc at anytime.

Figure1.2 Proposal Slides

After compiling our ideas and research, we summarized them into our presentation slides. We arrange the data accordingly and also discuss our part for presentations.

Feedback 

Week 4 :

The lecturers mentioned that our research questions and objectives are too general and we should be more specific. Also, sustaining the process of making Boshu Uchiwa is very general research, we do not have enough time. Besides, we need to go to Japan for further research if we really want to work on that which is impossible therefore they recommend to remove it.
