Research Implementation (Week - Week 15)
Week 7
This week we had to think about what sort of primary data collection method we will use and make the necessary preparations for it. We were told that sending out surveys will take time to get responses and email interviews make take days just to get a reply. Keeping this in mind I already had a person in mind of who I could interview who is an expert in the programming and app developer field.
Week 8
For this week I constructed my interview questions. This is my first draft:
Week 9
This week I went to do the face to face interview. It was an interesting and informative interview and I had all my questions answered. This is a embedded PDF of the transcript of the reworked questions and responses from the face to face interview.

Week 10

| No replies on LinkedIn. |
In the meantime I made my email interview on Google Forms:
From a friend I was able to get in contact with 2 more experts: one with experience with programming and one with experience in UX/UI management. They were able to answer my interview before the deadline. I compiled the responses from all 3 participants into the following PDF:
I tried to get at least 2 more responses but from the contacts Dr Hayati gave but one did not answer the questions and one simply could not answer them unfortunately.

Week 15
This week we had to present all our research from the proposal, to critical review, to the primary research in a summarized and compiled google slides:
FEEDBACK
Week 7
I told Dr. Hayati I had a potential expert that I know to interview. She to go along with it but to also use LinkedIn to find more interviewees.
Week 8
Dr Hayati said the questions should be focused to my research objective. When asking my questions it should be trying to achieve the research objective which is to explore what makes effective UI for mobile apps. Some of my questions are not relavant and may be bias. I need to remove and edit the questions.
Week 9
Because I was interviewing a relative, my questions still may have been bias. I told Dr Hayati I was still struggling to get responses so she told me to try LinkedIn.
Week 10
Dr Hayati gave me some contacts who seem to be experts in design and app development.
Week 15
Ms Jinchi gave feedback this time. My slides are well organized and presented the data effectively. It was good that I included my interview questions and splitting the critical reviews into 2 categories but the questions was why I did this. Also, I should have put a profile for the experts I interviews. It was not clear what expert survey meant, it should be email interview.
