What
This week's session was aimed at receiving generalized feedback on Project 1 from Mansoor. We, as a class, also underwent a citation and reframing short presentation where we were taught the correct way to reference sources and text. At the beginning of the lecture, I faced a few issues whereby I found it challenging to understand the correct citation methods used for different types of references, such as books, websites, images, podcasts, etc. In the second half of the lesson, we were also required to begin the research process and gather evidence on our chosen current disrupter.As a group, we decided to base our project on “Anghami”—disrupting music in the Middle East.
So What
My next steps this week are to assign different group members different tasks concerning project one and also to begin the research process for project 2. For project two, I will be looking at identifying a disrupter competitor within the Middle East or on a worldwide basis to compare and contrast with Anghami. My aim for this task will be to understand not only the differences and similarities between each one, but also the different ethical and legal impacts each one has had on the industry. I will be looking to ensure that in this second I will correctly reference all my project content and multimedia. In further addition, I will also ensure that our group presentation has multimedia included throughout that represents the content we are explaining.
Now What
Before next week's lesson, I will also practice the referencing method. I will ensure that I practice referencing websites, books, images, videos, etc. and place all referencing in alphabetical order. This task will support me in Project Two and ensure that I am equipped with the correct skills to achieve a HD grade on my project.
Transferable Skills
In terms of the transferable skills reflected on this week, I personally feel that the best-reflected ones have been critical thinking and time management. The reason why I believe this is that, due to the limited time we were given to reflect and understand, what could be improved and actioned within our future projects. Furthermore, we, as a group, were also required to begin collecting extensive research on our chosen current distributor and how it impacted the industry.
