What if...Self Evaluation.

What problems did you identify?

Male muggings in the leeds area,and the lack of awareness to the problem.
What evidence did you find to support your desisions.
That more men aged 16 to 24 are mugged in the leeds area mostly in poorly lit areas.
What methods did you use to gather your evidense and hat forms did it take?
We used a mixture of secondary and primary research.We found statistical evidence facts and figures by use of the internt we then use questionares to gather more specific evidence to support our problem.
What methods of research did you find useful and why?
The questioners we published on the college email we found more specific feedback and accounts.
How did these inform your response and why?
We found alot about the attitudes of men that most men feel safe when walking home and dont beleve anything will ever happen to them.
What methods did you encounter as problematic?
The secondary internet research in that we could not find the specific information we required.
How did you overcome this?
By exploring and finding alternative methods of research more specific to our problem.
What research could you have carried put that would have proved more useful?
Perhaps going out asking people in the street would have been a better way to gage the reaction of the general public.

5 Things i have learned:
1. That the outcome is only as good as the research.
2. Sometimes the problem is followed by another problem.
3. Primary research is more reliable than secondary.
4. That it is hard to streamline ideas and take them in one direction in group situations where people have there own opinions regarding the outcome of the design.
5. That presentation is pivotal to the strength of the outcome.


5 Things i would do differently next time:
1. Develop on the primary research we gathered and use different methods to show it
2. Share work roles equally among the group.
3. Have a greater range of outcomes and ideas.
4. When presenting be more direct and get to the point ie state the problem and  demonstrate how we intend to resolve it.
5. Perhaps spend more time on the outcome then we could have made the actual video instead of showing the work in a series of stills.
