Week 14: Revised Proposal
Dr.Hayati gave us another opportunity to submit for those who had revised their proposals along the data collecting or research journey. It will be taken as final evaluation for Assignment 1. I thought that my previous proposal was not good enough therefore I created another revised proposal for final evaluation.

Feedback:

Week 1: Dr.Hayati has categorized my interested field into two topics which are social interaction and social awareness. She said that I had to choose one topic as it would be too huge of a field to research on.

Week 2: Identify the game that you are willing to research on and also rephrase research objectives. Narrow down your research topic in game design or character design.

Week 3: Change research objectives & question. Add citations in problem statement, contact me through telegram to finalize the questions and objectives

Week 4: Move on doing the slide, it's good that you understand and go through the lecture slides and notes. It means you’re learning. DO NOT OVERWRITE MY COMMENT, it is to show the examiners. Next time create another draft. I will give further feedback on the proposal further on.
