b. Task 1: dissertation draft (the version that has the feedback given)

↑The above diagram shows the requirements for Task 1. And then this↓ 

and this↓

These are all in the format provided by Ms. Ye Jinchi in Task 1.

So... this is actually my work progress from week 2 to... um, week 6. Since I prefer to keep the unchanged parts, every time I make changes, I copy the previous version and then modify it in the copied article. Don't worry, to save space, I won't embed all these files here. Of course, I will embed my module's Google folder at the very bottom at the end.

So the ↓ following is my Task 1...

Submission

• YANG HANWEN DRD Draft
  

c. Task 2: final dissertation Turnitin report (and if needed, amendment, include the amended version as well)
Okay, forgive me for not checking carefully; I mistakenly thought Task 2 here was Task 2 from Google Classroom.

Submission

• DISSERTATION DRAFT with Turnitin Report for Similarity Index
  

d. Task 3: flipbook

Based on the 2 images below↓I guess this item refers to Task 2 from Google Classroom.

The website below is an example provided by Ms. Ye Jinchi in Google Classroom Task 2 post; it's likely used to compress file sizes.

Open Smallpdf – Compress PDF

The following is a step-by-step tutorial on how to create a FlipHTML5 eBook, provided by Ms. Ye Jinchi in Google Classroom Task 2.Finally, this is also an example given by Ye Jinchi in Google Classroom Task 2. It's an e-book case study created by previous students that we can refer to.

Okay... enough chit-chat, here's ↓

Submission

• VISUAL DESIGN PUBLICATION
  
  
  
  

You can also click this link→ https://fliphtml5.com/oggsh/VISUAL-DESIGN-PUBLICATION-CelL/ to view.
e. Task 4: research article (PDF)

I'm guessing that Task 4 here refers to Task 3 in Google Classroom.

The following two documents are Ms. Ye Jinchi's formatting requirements and examples. They are also listed in the post of Task 3 on Google Classroom. One is Pagination Steps for Dissertation & Dissertation Draft.pdf, and the other is Final Dissertation cover.docx.

To add to that... one of the final task didn't remain in Google Classroom, but instead remained in the Microsoft Teams channel.

To summarize briefly, we need to create our own KREATE_Raw_Input for our paper, following this ↓ example.

So...

Submission

• Final Dissertation - YANG HANWEN
  
• FINAL COMPLETE DISSERTATION with Turnitin Report
  
• YANG HANWEN_KREATE_Raw_Input
  

f.  Weekly feedback by lecturer

g. a FINAL REFLECTION that includes your thoughts and experience on the tasks above (minimum 350 words).

Through the completion of this module, I have developed a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the design research paper process. From the early stages of drafting and revising written content to the structural design of the cover and table of contents, each step required careful consideration and critical thinking. In addition, the exploration of digital publication and eBook layout design further expanded my perspective on how academic research can be presented in a visually structured and reader-friendly manner.

This module not only strengthened my research and writing skills but also helped me understand the importance of layout, hierarchy, and visual consistency in communicating academic ideas effectively. I found the process both challenging and rewarding, as it required balancing analytical thinking with design decisions.

I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to the lecturer, Ye Jinci, for his patience and guidance throughout the course. Whenever I encountered difficulties or uncertainties during the research and design process, he consistently provided clear explanations and supportive feedback. His encouragement and willingness to help played a significant role in my learning experience and greatly contributed to my overall improvement in this module.
