Project 1 - Proposal


LECTURES

1. What is Research Problem?
Research Problem is paramount to the success of a research effort. A research problem can begin with something simple to something very complex, depending on the nature of the research theme. In ICT, with new emerging technologies, many research problems may be churned from issues in performance, reliability and daily user applications.

The formulation of a research problem is the first and most important step of the research process. This is more like identifying a destination prior to beginning a journey. A research problem is like the foundation of a building. The type and architecture of the building depends on the foundations. If the foundation is well designed and strong, you can expect the building to be strong as well.

2. Five Factors to consider in selecting a Research Problems
When selecting a research problem for the study, there are few factors which need to be consider.

Fig 1.1 Considerations in selecting a research problem

Figure 1.1 shows the factors to consider in selecting a research problem. These factors will ensure that the research process is more manageable and you will remain motivated.

3. Steps In Research Problem Formulation
In any research task, the formulation of a research problem is the most important part of the research process. The process of formulating a research problem( (Figure 1.2) consists of number of steps. 

Fig 1.2 Steps involved in formulating research problem

*The most important is to formulate a problem that is carefully phrased and represents the single goal of the total research effort.

4. Sub-problems in Research and their characteristics
While constructing your research problem, you might come across several sub- problems. 

- What is Sub-problems in Research?
Sub-problems are sub-parts of the main research problem you designed. As a student, we must be able to distinguish sub-problems that are an integral part of the main problem from things that look like problems but are nothing more than procedural issues. The latter is actually pseudo-subproblems which involve decisions the researcher must make before he/she can resolve the research problem and its subproblems.

- Characteristic of Sub-problems?
  1. Each sub-problem should be a Completely Researchable Unit (constitute a logical sub-area of the larger research undertaking)
  2. Each sub-problem must be clearly Tied to Interpretation of the data
  3. The sub-problems must add up to the totality of the problem
  4. Sub-problems should be small in number (If the main problem is carefully stated, the researcher will find that it usually contains two to six sub-problems)




INSTRUCTION


Project 1：Proposal

Our first project task was to come up with a selected topic that we were interested in researching. With our chosen major we will choose a subject under the chosen field. With extra help in the first few weeks, lecturers from different specializations came to our lectures and briefed us on what each specialization was like. I chose to go into the UI/UX field.

Submission：




Reflection

Researchers have learned how to narrow the scope of research topics and align research goals and questions. Researchers should articulate the problem statement. Although the researcher's native language is not English, she tries to express herself clearly in her writing with English thinking. And reduce a lot of grammatical errors.

The GDD should outline: Game concept and mechanics Character design and abilities Level and world design Art style and visuals Weekly Progress Final Proposal Submission Task 1 Feedback We named the game "Run, Eggsy!", which shaped the core concept and gameplay framework of the game eggman's adventure. Our goal is to create a humorous, trap-filled platformer inspired by games like Level Devil, with a unique twist on the typical puzzle adventure formula. While the project is still in progress, here are some key observations and conclusions so far: Clear ch...

This prototype showcases the final visual design, interactions, and functionality of your application. In this interface, touch the option box will turn green. Fig.1.1. If you log in with a Google account, you can directly enter the main page, and the main page will pop up your personal information. The user profile picture and user nickname will be the same as the default Google account information. Fig.1.2 The search history and recommended music types will be displayed on the Search interface. Search for songs in the record, and it will be played directly after clicking. Recommended music genres are updated and changed frequently. The circle will boun...
