Project Journal Week 24

Monday

On Monday the team had a short meeting to schedule the week ahead. It was decided to continue testing which would begin again on Tuesday. It was also decided to email John Charlton.

Tuesday

The team continued with testing today bringing the total number to around 85. The team held a brief meeting towards the end of the day discussing when to finish testing, as the statistical analysis would be a very lengthy process. The idea was to achieve a good amount of testing subjects so that are data would be reliable, achieving around 100 subjects. However the team felt we had achieved a good amount of subjects and had a set of results that was reliable.

In the afternoon Nick and Phil had a meeting with Roger Jackson who went through the data we had collected and went through some of the techniques to analyse our results (refer to team blog for more detail).


Wednesday

The team showed the draft copies of the write-up to Amanda and Claire who analysed our document highlighting sections that needed changing. The team then scheduled the second week of the Easter semester break to really concentrate on producing a good quality final piece.


Thursday

The meeting with the supervisors focused on statistical analysis, with the team presenting our results. Andrew Williams also discussed some of the ways that we could analyse our results. The final Milestone date was also agreed.

Meeting with Dr John Charlton

Probably the most influential meeting of the week was with Dr Charlton. We showed him our results and he advised us on two methods that would help us present our data. He also gave us a quick guide on how to use the SPSS software.

Overall this week has been very productive, with testing finally completed and statistical analysis now becoming the focus of the work.
