LECTURES 


Week 7
For this week, our lecture was about how to carry out different types of research methods. We were introduced to Quantitative and Qualitative data collection methods. We were also taught close ended and open ended questions for a questionnaire, and how it both have its pros and cons.

Here are the slides used for the lecture: 



DATA COLLECTION AND DATA ANALYSIS 


Week 10
I started planning out my data collection methods. I wanted to do a qualitative and a quantitative method. 
My initial plan was to observe games from 6 different game genres which were: First-person shooter, Simulation, Role-playing, Fighting, Survival and sports. However, Dr Hayati said that it was too many and the genres I listed out were ones that I’m not particularly familiar with (sports, fighting, survival). She advised me to narrow it down to 3 that I’m familiar with. So I chose Simulation, Role-playing and First person shooter.

I also began working on the questionnaire. I made about 10 questions in total.







I shared this in gaming forums and also among friends who are experienced in playing games.

Week 11
I finished my quantitative data collection by observing three games. I took down some notes while I was playing the games and wrote down all the available customization options. I also mentioned the special options that certain games have and the others did not.


I managed to get 81 responses by the end of this week as well for my questionnaire. Here are the overall results:

After completing my data collection, I then created the full compilation of all my results on google slides.
