Figure 2: Graph of Network testing March 2018
NOTE: Figures refers to all charts, graphs, photographs, drawings and other illustrations. Number everything in the sequence it appears in the text. No need to put actual figures here. The actual figures should present in the content.
These can be two separate lists for your tables & Figures (charts, Graphs, photos, diagrams etc.) or just one list called Figures depending on the amount of table you have.
These should be structured with the figure number, the figure title, description and then the Harvard reference source. If the figure was created by you, there is no need to include the Harvard source, only the figure number and the figure title/description
1. Introduction [~300-500 words]An introduction is an expansion of your group project title with a brief statement of motivation or a problem. It will present a clear statement of your purpose What is the topic your group are interested, why is this topic important, why did your group carry out the project?
Group Project AimsA clearly defined group project aims.
Individual Analysis Objectives
2. Methodology [~1,000-1,200 words]This section will discuss and justify all aspects of thedata analysis methodsused to undertake the project on your part which could include: How was data collected to justify the aims/objectives of the project and how they were prepared and analysed? What were the results from the analysis and What conclusion you drew from the results?
Data Collection
where did you get the data from (you can identify both the dataset use in a group and any specific dataset you use for your individual analysis); how did you retrieve the dataset. Ensure you reference sources for any data you collected or used.
Data Preparationexplain the process of data understanding, data cleaning, data pre-processing which is suitable and specific to your data analysis process
Data AnalysisIdentify data analysis techniques/approach/method which you perform in your data analysis with suitable justifications (identify analysis method that appropriate with your dataset and your objective(s))
Resultspresent the results from your analysis with appropriate data visualisation
Conclusionwhat conclusions did you draw for your individual analysis?
3. Project Management [~300-500 words]This section covers how you managed your data analysis. Write up a brief reflection on how you planned/manage the work.
Project Planwhat is your work plan and timeline? You should use charts to present work plan such as Gantt Chart etc.

Identify individual topic Collect data from Project Collaborationhow you are meeting up, how you work as a group, evidence of group work collaboration e.g., snapshot of discussion board, online-diary, share document on MS team etc.
Learning reflectionThe what, so what and now what sections in Rolfe et al. model CITATION Rol01 l 1033 (Rolfe, et al., 2001), can be used to inform and structure the reflective process. Outlined below should be considered when writing the content of these sections. Make sure you avoid writing a chatty account of what happened (informally). Keep your writing academic and formal.
What: You identify the main issue that you have achieved or challenged.
What is the learning outcome you have achieved?
What did I do well?
What was the problem/difficulty/issue?
So what: You analyse your performance. You need to be analytical rather than descriptive. You can include references to justify your action (why you acted in a particular way) such as you might find a particular method for improving time management that work with a similar situation and then you applied that method to yourself.
So what does the literature suggest I did well
So what could/should I have done to make it better
Note: describe what happened and state that a particular skill is good or bad would not be sufficient, this would be considered descriptive writing.
Now what: You should discuss or address areas of improvement. The implications discussed in your so what should directly link to your action plans.
Now what do you need to do in order to make things better/resolve the situation/get better?
What tools / techniques will I use to help me do this?
A sample below shows how you can use Rolfe et al. reflective model to write reflectively CITATION Rol01 l 1033 (Rolfe, et al., 2001).
Specific tasks were shared out amongst members of my team. Initially, however, the tasks were not seen as equally difficult by all team members. Cooperation between group members was at risk because of this perception of unfairness. Social interdependence theory recognises a type of group interaction called positive interdependence, meaning cooperation (Johnson and Johnson, 1993, cited by Maughan and Webb, 2001), and many studies have demonstrated that cooperative learning experiences encourage higher achievement (Maughan and Webb, 2001) Ultimately, our group achieved a successful outcome, but to improve the process, we perhaps needed a chairperson to help encourage cooperation when tasks were being shared out. In future group work, on the course and at work, I would probably suggest this.
