FEEDBACK

Week 2 :
General Feedback : Topics can’t be too general, must be specific, need to have maximum 3 research questions and 3 research objectives.
Specific Feedback : Do a visual study, need to pick popular poster to do research, strong in advertising, need to choose either sale poster or brand poster.

Week 3:
General Feedback : Problem statement have to have 3 paragraph, need to write introduction at the start, references can’t be too old.
Specific Feedback : Don’t use too old articles, research questions need to connect to research objective, only one website is allowed.

Week 4:
General Feedback : The Problem Statement need to be continuous.
Specific Feedback : Add one more paragraph to the problem statement to conclude, check the reference format.

Week 5:
General Feedback : Need to start on critical review
Specific Feedback : Task 1 completed. For critical review, I need to rework on some paragraph, don’t repeat the conclusion and don’t need to put it in the reference list as I didn’t cite it. 

Week 6:
General Feedback : For task 3, need to make it structural and maximum two ways of finding data. For the reference list, if we cite from other article for additional info, then put it in but if there is no citation, then the reference list is necessary.
Specific Feedback : Conclude by recapping the strengths of the paper and how this research is relevant for your study. Critical Review 2 and 3 done.

Week 7:
General Feedback : The minimum for the respondents on the survey form is 80-100 people.
Specific Feedback : Justify why I am choosing those posters, also why I wanted to examine those typographic elements. For the Survey part, justify why I wanted to do survey rather than other method.

Week 8: Independent Learning Week

Week 9: Absent

Week 10:
General Feedback : For the questions, need to have number so when we describe each answers its easier.
Specific Feedback : For the visual analysis of Starbucks posters, I need to add some more words to it, other posters are already okay. For some of the survey questions, I need to separate it and show one by one poster, and for some questions, I also need to change it.

Week 11:
General Feedback : Try to finish because week 12 is deadline
Specific Feedback : Need to share the google form already, change some minor mistakes in the google form questions.

Week 12:
General Feedback : The survey form can open or close according to your own interest.
Specific Feedback : add more research to the survey analysis, can combine visual analysis and survey analysis too.

Week 13:
General Feedback : The pie chart needs to align with the background color, so you can make your own pie chart. For the total of the slide, 25 is just a guide, so you don't really need to reach 25, the survey question change it into statement
Specific Feedback : need to change layout so it can fit in the video of presentation, for the critical review, need to make it into points, and need to add conclusion for the survey.

Week 14:

General Feedback : Presentation needs to be under 10 minutes.
Specific Feedback : Need to have title, some minor changes in the text (bold), when recording the conclusion part, need to say that this is just according to those 3 posters (shopee, starbucks, and watsons).
