Week Eight: New Research Topic

We began this week’s laboratory session by discussing a petition that had been created and signed by some of the students. I don't believe the details of petition should be spoken about online and are therefore not going to discuss that any further. We then went on to speak about the scores we had received for coursework one, and why certain people had received certain scores. I was given more feedback on this blog and lastly, we looked to the future and went through our research proposals and decided the best way to move forward with our research and designing the final document.

This week I learnt about designing a blog and that it is best to use a simple template rather than a cluttered, over-stimulating template. Luckily my blog has always had a simple template, although I do want to add a few extra features in the not too distant future. Whilst, I was doing well on one piece of coursework it turned out that my research question for coursework two is too broad; ambient intelligence is a large subject, possibly too large for my first research project. This is a shame because I had already conducted the questionnaire; however I can use everything I learnt to improve my new project.

For the next week I need to concentrate on deciding a new research topic. It will most likely still include some aspect of autistic spectrum disorder, as this interest me greatly, however it will no longer include ambient intelligence. I could possibly review an interactive piece of software that has been designed to aid people with autism.
