--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since my last blog i've been doing some research into academic articles around ARA, Mobile risk assessment and mobile vulnerabilities but all that research will come together in a blog over the next few days.

Today's blog is all about me setting myself some goals. The reason i'm setting myself these goals is because i'm a very goal oriented person who needs to have a deadline to aim for otherwise I'll keep putting the work off, so therefore by aiming for a deadline i can make sure i'm always on target!

Goal 1 - 20th Feb Plan and flesh out introduction
The output of this goal will be to have a planned introduction with various bullet points which when I come to writing the main body will easily be fleshed out into complete sentences. I'll also have my project Aims and Objectives written therefore i'll show that from the beginning i knew what my intended output was.

Goal 2 - 24th Feb Plan out Interviews
This goal is for me to have all my interviews planned out and memorised, i'll also run them past my dissertation tutor to see if there is anything I've missed. To plan out the interviews i'll have to conduct further research into interview techniques to make sure there as professional as possible.

Goal 3 - 28th Feb Majority of Literature Review written
This goal is for me to make sure i'm proceeding quickly and effectively with my Literature review. To complete this goal i'll need to have a set of academic papers that i will be using in my review. By making sure I get the majority of it finished by February 28th I can then make sure it makes sense and flows from point to point.

Goal 4 - 6th Mar Conduct and Analyse all Interviews
In the first week of March I want to make sure all my interviews have been completed and are ready for me to analyse right away. I'll be analysing the interviews right away because that way the interview is still fresh in my mind and I'll be able to provide a lot of details on gesture and body movements.

Goal 5 - 9th Mar Plan and Start writing artefact
Once all the analysis has been completed I will start planning and then writing the artefact right after the interviews. I want to start writing the artefacts as early as possible because it will require feedback from my colleagues so I want as much time as possible for any changes that may need to be made.

Other Goals

  • April 10th - Draft Artefact Completed and submitted for feedback
  • April 15th - Draft Main body dissertation completed
  • April 25th - Final Artefact Completed and presented to colleagues for final feedback

Over the next few days as well as aiming to complete my goals, I will be producing a Gantt chart with detail on what areas i'm looking at, when certain research should be completed, etc. I feel that this will be able to provide a detailed look into my inner thinking and the time scale i'm looking at for my project.


Thank you very much for reading!! Stayed tune for more. You Stay Classy Bournemouth.
