Lab Session Nine

By this lab session I had gotten my results and so started to process them, I decided to put them into an excel spread sheet so I could view them all and have velar view of the relationships between my many pieces of data. Me and my lab tutor held a discussion about the relationships between the data I had produced, giving me ideas about what I could use during the discussions portion of my report.

In this lab session I learnt about the relationships between different pieces of data and how to draw conclusions from them, I also learnt to try and look at data from as many angles as possible in order to make sure that I’m not just extracting the conclusion that fits my hypothesis.

Lab Session Eight

In this lab session I brought in my new and improved pitch for my research project, my lab tutor approved of it, so I spent most of my time in this lab designing the questionnaire that I would be using to carry out my research project. At the same time as this our lab tutor showed examples of reports from other students, in order to make sure that we knew what to do.

I took time to learn how to create a well-made questionnaire, this involved learning about leading questions and what to do in order to avoid them. I also gained an even clearer view on what the structure of my report would be.

Lab Session Six

In this Lab session I brought forth my research question that I had gotten by looking in my book, from this I created a paragraph pitch, that acted as a preview to the work I would looking into for coursework two. The central core of my research idea was to use interviews to see which brand of mobile App store that users prefer. Using this I held a discussion with my tutor about my idea and began to refine it.

I learnt to my research idea shouldn’t be too broad, that in order to make use of my time in the best possible way I should focus my work, so I decided to look at only two brands of mobile App store and I decided to use a questionnaire instead of an interview due to its time saving attributes.
