Reflection

At the start, I wasn’t actually planning to do online interviews. However, the lecturer insisted that I used this methodology to strengthen my report. I am so grateful to her for this advice. The information I gained from the experts was very valuable and it definitely made my research go in a better direction.  For the questionnaire, one hurdle she had was the lack of participants, even with the extended deadline and constant sharing, I couldn't read the 80 mark. But, thakfully I had other methodologies to supplement the lack of participants. Most of the data I recieved followed my assumption, which is also really great.
