Reflections of research studies discussion today
Today, everyone was present. We met at about 1.40 pm and waited for our teacher-mentor, but could not find her. In the end, we decided to go the canteen and have a bite during our discussion.
The discussion today was very fruitful as we finalized everything. Firstly, we have decided on our title of our research studies topic. We thought of many other ideas, such as Ideas regarding the 11 pm curfew on teens. However, we felt that it was quite brier and probably too shallow. So after much brainstorming, we decided on
. Then after that, we carried on to the formal email that we were urged by the teacher to have last week. We have already created one which is rgs_research_studies@hotmail.com and have already started activating it. We have decided to organize ourselves so that our works can be easier. Any document that we want to hand up to the teachers, we can send it to the email so that all of the group members can edit.
Next, we allocated the work, on which survey questions we are supposed to do. Two of us are doing MCQ while the other two are doing open-ended questions. We have also set a deadline, which is this coming Friday. We hope that everything can go as smoothly as we had planned. And the more specific details are included in the minutes.
In conclusion, all of us kind of finalized our plan on our topic and our plans. It also pays to be organized, now that we have planned everything properly, our work will be much easier.
The meeting adjourned at about 3.05 pm.
