FEEDBACK



REFLECTION

The process of working on the design research dissertation has been both a challenging and enlightening journey. The whole process has been a journey of learning and personal growth. It was not just about completing an assignment, but about discovering my ability to explore a subject in depth, stay focused, and organise my thoughts clearly. Since I had to work mostly on my own, it pushed me to stay motivated, think carefully, and be disciplined throughout the process. There were moments when I felt confused or unsure about how to proceed, but the tutorials and feedback sessions were really helpful. The feedback from Mr. Asrizal helped me improve my work. Over time, I started to feel more confident in my research and my ability to complete the dissertation successfully.

One of the hardest but most important part of the process was writing the literature review  At first, I felt overwhelmed by the large amount of information I had to read and understand. It seemed like a lot, but once I broke it down into smaller steps, it became much easier to manage. Writing the literature review helped me learn how to find useful sources, pick out key ideas and link them to my research. It was interesting to see how different studies could come together to support my topic. This part of the dissertation taught me the importance of using trusted sources, giving proper credit to authors and keeping my work original. Learning how to manage citations and avoid plagiarism was an important skill that I know will help me in future projects.

Looking back, I feel proud of what I have achieved. Completing the dissertation was not easy, but it taught me how to manage large tasks, stay organized and keep going even when things got difficult. There were times when I wanted to give up, but I learned to stay focused on my goals and trust the process. More importantly, I have grown more confident in sharing my ideas and accepting feedback, knowing it helps me get better. This experience taught me the importance of patience, hard work, and continuous learning. The skills I have gained from this project will definitely be useful in my future work and personal life. This dissertation was more than just an assignment for me. It was a learning experience that helped me become a better problem solver and a more confident person.
