FEEDBACK

Week 05: 28.04.2022

Lecturer's Feedback: 

✧ Even though the topic of research article might be "print magazine covers as a packaging" it is still useable for the review as it talks about print magazine covers. It does not only have to be just searching for "magazine covers" Ms Jinchi suggested I could also look upp "publishing designs".

✧ For more than 6 author's citation, I need to research about the accurate method of citation. ✧ Be consistent on the type, It should be lowercase. 

✧ Evaluation of the research needs to be stated under the Methodology section. When it was writen as such, the research must have done visual analysis, I need to compare it and see if the research is strong enough to come to a conclusion. Are the 4 mgazines well studied? Are the 4 magazines enough? Comment on the types of magazines. And how did the researcher group those magazines. Discuss more about the paper, critique more. 

✧ For the final compiltion for submission, we only need to submit ONE writing. The headling will be Critical Review & start the body text. The individual stating of each review is not necessary. The way to ascertain which reviews we are refering to is to instead of writing "This research paper talks about" we should Cite the paper, for example "Rajesh, S. (2017) talks about". For the bibliography , insert them all under the Reference section. 

✧ It is important to see if the research is relevant to chosen topic by looking the objective. Looking into the paper more in depth. Always question, what I think. For Example, "the researcher did not only onduct interviews, but she has also conductde her own research regaridng said topic." still needs more flesh out on what is to said about the methodology.

Week 07: 12.04.2022

Lecturer's Feedback: 

✧ in the future can search for peripheral papers so long as there's similar keywords

✧ it is more of a literature review, and needs more critique it, for example, which part of the discussion has given the author the authority to state their points? (was it from the research they've conducted? was able to give this comment based on the research that she has done - it shows that it is not an assumption ) (though multiple sources reviewed by dobokovskia it was revealed that using balanced colour scheme is important, this shows that the author was well informed through her research)
