Reading 3: Doing my research

Before I started reading loads of articles for my research I learned how to fully engage in the readings and what is the best things to do when reading them and post-reading. I looked on google scholar but did not find any articles that were helpful on game design process or on visual and audio elements in a game but I did find some articles on google. So far I have scanned over one article for each topic which I taught were helpful towards my research.

The first article that I looked at for the design process of a game was Game design process by Francois Dominic Laramee I found this article very helpful and useful so I took down notes that I taught would be beneficial to my research.

The first article I looked at for visual and audio elements was Visuals and audio elements by Aki Järvinen which I scanned over to see if it was suitable for my research which it was so I took some notes.

I feel like the matrix excel sheets helped a lot with my research and is a great way to summarize the articles on each topic I also feel that taking notes and keeping questions in your mind while reading it helps to figure out if the articles are suitable for your question so far I have found one article on each topic that are suitable for my question so I will definitely be reading into them a lot more and will also be trying to find other articles that are suitable.

Reading 10

This week I have finally finished my topics I have over 2,000 for my chapters my game design process has more words than my visual and audio elements but not by much I have learned a lot from writing these topics and have definitely improved my writing skills a lot, I have also learned a lot on each of my topics. Overall I feel like my topics are decent and that I have wrote some good information on both of them. I am really glad that I have finished and it is a huge weight of my shoulders I just have to do my reflection work. I feel like this week we have done a lot on fixing up the writing on most of the chapters which is really good and I feel like everyone has done good work overall. Below are some screenshots of my topics in my chapter.

Growth mindset

Growth minds et I have never heard of Carol Dweck before this module but after listening to her Ted talk and her other videos I feel like she is very inspiring but I have heard of a growth mindset before in secondary school and how to expand our mindset. I feel like overall I have a growth mindset and I am open to learning from my mistakes and I am open to learn new things. Since I have started at TU Dublin I feel like my mindset has grown even more because I got to learn so many new things from different modules and from the people in the course and I feel like I have processed it all well one of my biggest challenges was trying to get all my work done for college even though I loved learning new things while also trying to balance a social life. I feel like I would definitely be interested in learning more about growth mindsets in this semester as I feel like I would like to get a better understanding of a growth mindset. I would like to learn more about how to try to keep everythi...
