On week 3, we discussed on the literature review. Dr Hayati was looking through the matrix and ask me to add in more sections.
I have updated the matrix and added the Themes, Findings and compare the articles in the literature matrix. After that was writing the literature review by cross-compare the articles with similar themes and topics.
There were 8 articles and I dived the articles based on the keywords with 3 sections, which was culture representation in games, elements in character design and identity of Sabah.
On week 4, Dr Hayati haven't read through all the sections yet for the literature review, so I have yet to revised it. Today we have discussed on how to write the methodology section.
After the discussion, I have added a short Acknowledgements and abstract in the section and also added the Introduction to the module.

REFLECTION
Experience:
I was a bit nervous because of my poor vocabulary but after writing, I wasn't that nervous anymore. Online classes were not that hard to handle than expected.
Observation:
The module looks interesting but needs a lot of information and writing skills.
Findings:
I have to look back to my research implementation again to refresh my memory of it.
