Dissertation Draft

This week I start to write my dissertation draft. I put all the information that I've done from the last semester and add on the things that I didn't have yet. Dr. Hayati told us that maybe we can do matrix for the book that we had a critic last semester for the literature review so it's easy for us to see the similarities or the differences. 

1.1 Matrix for Literature review

Here's my final draft dissertation:

Next, we got to design our dissertation book. before designing my book, I try to look at the references on Pinterest.



This is my final design for the dissertation book:



For my Final design Dr. Hatayi said it's okay and the layout better than before, but this is not the end, I still got to revise my dissertation draft after did the turning on times.



The last project is to adapt the dissertation draft into the article, but before that, we need to find 3 journals that suitable for our dissertation topic. We also need to write the rational and choose one out of the three journals that we choose with minimal 300 words for the chosen topic.



After choosing the journal we got to find the sample of the article as our guide to writing our article, we also required to look at the journal requirements what to put inside the article.

Before designing my article using Adobe Indesign, I prefer to write the draft first on my google document so easy for me to just copy and paste what to put inside my article.


Here's the Final Article folowing the structure that requires from the chosen journal :

REFLECTION

EXPERIENCE
In this class, I got to experience to write a lot of words which I never did this before. I learned how to read and get the information as fast as possible especially for the literature part where I have to paraphrase the sentence. I also have to read as much as possible to write the dissertation, for the article journal, I was struggling because I couldn't find the example because most of the sample of the journal asked me to pay to get the full PDF so I try to find the website where I can ask the writer to allow and give me the PDF. Luckly, I got replied very fast so I can use the example and adapt it to my article.

OBSERVATION
I observe while writing the dissertation it's important to keep everything correlated to each other so the reader can easily understand our research, I observed that it's not just me who struggle in this module but most of my friends struggled and trying so hard to finish the dissertation but at the end we all finished it on time.

FINDINGS
I found myself was depressed at the beginning especially writing the draft dissertation because I have a lot of things to work on for others module too,  I also broke down because I thought I couldn't finish it but because all the feedback that Dr. Hayati gave me it helps me to finish my dissertation.
