Lectures

Week 4 (24/1/2022)

There were no lecture for this week as lectures are grading on our first proposal. However, sir asked us to start with our data collection as the dateline for the assignment will be on the end of week 5 Friday which is the 4 February. 

Week 5 (31/1/2022)

 

On this week lecture, sir covered topics on the general feedback, some tips or guidelines on the data collection assignment and the dateline for the data collection. In the lecture, Mr Asrizal comment that majority group did well the research objective and question however for the 5 rationale ideas, most of the group didn't satisfy him as the ideas we gave is not wrong but is not very accurate to our topics. He comment that our idea is only to create something but didn't evolve the message that we want the audience to know. He also mentioned that for the record presentation it is not available for us to record on ourselves and combine it as it will make the file very large and he suggested us to just record together in zoom. He also mentioned that many students came to him and required for extention of dateline as there will be a Chinese New Year break and most of us will be not free and hence he extended the dateline to the following Monday which is 7 February. Before he ends the session, he gave us time to ask him about anything we not sure. 

Practical

Week 4 (26/1/2022)

During the meeting, we distribute works like some of us could conduct interview with someone we know that have tattoo and some will come out for questionnaire and send to people around us for data collection. We also discuss on the content in our slides and some may research deeper on the background or history of tattoos. 

Week 5 (2/2/2022)

We came together with the interview videos or messages and the statistic for questionnaire and we start to work out on our slides. After we collected those data, we also concluded and summarizes the data that we collect. We also recap on our research objectives and questions whether do the data collection reflects or answer on the objectives and questions. 

Feedback

Week 4 (28/1/2022)

During the tutorial session, sir comment that for our group proposal, we should work more on our 5 rationale ideas as it is not really accurate as our objective is to find out why is tattoo and piercing more popular or more acceptable right now but the ideas we gave is only on designing ideas of tattoo designs and thus is not link to our research objectives. He then also gave us an idea that we can interview Dr Jinchi as she also had tattoo on her body. 

Reflections

Experience

Throughout the data collection process, I learn more about people view or perceptions on tattoo where some will think that tattoo is scary but some think that it it cool and some will think that it is an artwork. We all did communicate well and assigned work equally and none of us did extra work and we manage to finish the worked that were assigned on time. 

Observations

While I was doing the research for data collection on tattoo, I observe that those who have tattoo with them they have different meanings on the tattoo design although some designs might look similar and they shared that why they chose the tattoo instead of others and what they feel after they tattooed. 

Findings

I think that doing online data collection is hard as the data we collected might not be enough and the data might not be accurate. I found out that the questions we asked in our questionnaire is too little and some questions is nor relevant and didn't help us to find out our objective of the research.
