Today I received a suggestion from Ibu Tiwi. She said (through e-mail), “Before I forget (again), I guess it would be great if you put the pictures of you making your bag in the appendices."
This is a good idea because I can prove that I was really making my bag and to show the process of it. Actually I didn’t really think of it because I thought that the process and the progress we put it on the blog and not in the written documentation.

Today I received feedbacks from Pak Agung, Bu Tiwi, and Bu Tisa. Bu Tiwi and Bu Tisa have a lot of comments of my draft of written documentation while Pak Agung is only an overall, so I can state his comments here:

“For Adela, I gave her 5
- Lack of references in her writing. Most of them are her own ideas.
- She put the process in the "analysis of information" instead of the "analysis of process and out come".
- Need more exploration of AoI aspect(s) during the process.”

The difficulty that I find is how to revise my draft; should I revise my draft one by one according to the feedbacks or should I put together all of the feedbacks at one and then revise my draft. I will solve this by revise my draft step by step according to each feedback. So I will work on the feedbacks given by Bu Tiwi first, then Bu Tisa, and then Pak Agung.

This activity leads me to have a better understanding about PP and its expectation that I must ask for different supervisors to check my draft of written documentation in order of accuracy and to achieve the highest grade.

Today I made the second revision of my written documentation based on the feedbacks that Miss Alison and Ibu Lisa had given to me (I had submitted the first draft to them and I received a lot of good feedbacks and I need to revise a lot).

This activity leads me to have a better understanding about PP and its expectation which is we need to make the rough draft before we submit the final draft to our supervisor and to other supervisor(s) in order of accuracy.

I can do differently by asking other supervisors to check my rough draft and have their feedbacks so that I can revise my written documentation better to achieve the highest grade.

Today I made the draft of the written documentation. I already have the introduction and analysis of information, so I need to work on the title page, table of contents, analysis of process and outcome, conclusion, and appendix. This took a lot time of work but I finally finished it. The analysis of process and outcome is only looking back at out process journal and I already have the documents gathered for the appendix.

This activity leads me to have a better understanding about PP and its expectation which is I need to make the written documentation in order to finish my personal project.

Today I made the outline of the written work. The written work consists of title page, table of contents, introduction, analysis of information, analysis of process and outcome, conclusion, and appendix.

This activity leads me to have a better understanding about PP and its expectation that we need to make a written documentation in order to finish our personal project. And to make the outline of it would make a good effort to it by knowing what sort of things that need to be there.

Today I did my survey (testing method) to my friends and my aunt (by call if I can’t meet her). I will distribute the survey to 19 of my friends (and left 1 for my aunt) and these friends are those who have sense in fashion and are good in it. I surveyed whether the bag has a good design, quality, functionality, efficiency, and worthy. The result of the survey is:

From this, I can conclude that the returned surveys are positive because the total points for the ‘5’ (the highest) is more than 80, like I said before. Based on the table above, the total points for ‘5’ is 97 and the rest belongs to ‘4’.

This activity leads me to have a better understanding about PP and its expectations which is we need to have testing method to test our product whether our product is successful or not. This can be done by surveying the others so that we know how other people think about our products.

New perspectives that could be investigated further through future inquiry into the topic/theme are to survey the bag sellers too and ask the bag designers or fashion designers in Indonesia to judge my bag.

Today I showed my product to my supervisor. Her respond was really good and so impressed with what I have done. She said that my product is so good and she suggested me to show this to Ibu Lisa too. She is confident that Ibu Lisa will be delighted to see my product.

This leads me to have a better understanding about PP and its expectation which is to show the supervisor the product that I have made on time (before the due date which is tomorrow).

6 January 2009

Today I was revising my report and made the process of how to make the product along with the evidences to show it to my supervisor later. Beside that, I also updated my journal.

This leads me to have a better understanding about PP and its expectation that I need to have the evidences to prove what I have done and also the process of making the product, and to update my journal every time I do my personal project so that my supervisor can see the progress that I have been doing from all this time. Keeping the journal update is also important for one of the PP’s expectations.
