With regards to this research project, I actually find it quite relevant in terms of application of what was taught in lectures and tutorials. Having chosen our research topic "Is BMI related to height?", it seemed like an easy project at first, but in fact, a lot of hard work was put in place to find out the conclusion behind this question.
There were certainly some challenges but it definitely allow me to grow along the way.
For instance, being able to find subjects for our actual data collection (communicating to potential participants, explaining our purpose of study and convincing them to participate) and ensuring that the data collection process flows smoothly (coordinating the transition from one station to another). By having many other module projects and commitments at the same time also allowed me to manage and plan my time as well.
Another challenging area was also the data analysis part when my group have to recall the steps to using the SPSS and the various types of statistical test to use and apply. This portion has definitely refresh everything that was being taught through the weeks if lecture. It was also interesting to note the outcome of results for our research question and this information can come in handy if needed in my future practice.
Overall, it has been a fruitful and fun experience working with my group mates in this group project !
