Design Cycle 4 - Plan


After finishing Design and Plan, there is Create! Surprises are still to come... but here is my Plan of the Create stage!
List of Tasks A list of the tasks that you need to complete (as part of your role) in the order they will be carried out together with the estimated duration and completion date
*Note: I have 1 and a half jobs. I’m in a group of two.*

An estimate of 6 hours and 15 min., besides the field trip, will be spent.

Timeline You need to create a timeline of your tasks, which simply means presenting your tasks using a calendar, e.g iCal

Peer Review Peer review your plan with other students who have the same role as you. Do you need to make any changes to your plan? What changes do you need to make and why?
After looking viewing a task list with the role of the editor, I didn’t think I had anything to change because all tasks relating to the role I had before hand. However, when I looked at a task list with the role of the technical director, there was a few things I left out. Such as the task of handing in Create (which is essential to get a mark) and editing the documentary after the review date. I also had changed something else, although I didn’t make the change due to the peer review. After a day or two after my peer review, I realized it would be best to make a check list of what has to be done on the day of the field trip.

Question Reflection A strong attempt at answering the following questions: Was the plan detailed enough and why? Could the plan be followed by someone else and why?
After having experience with the previous design cycles, therefore, after looking at  all the feedback I’ve gotten from past Plan stages, I think my task list is detailed and logical. And I’ve asked a few people whether they personally thought the plan could be followed, and they have all responded yes.

Evaluation Detailed reflection on learning and progress. What did you learn? What did you do well / not so well? What improvements would you make next time?
Because we were planning to interview a visitor of the chapel, we had to know when people will be visiting. With our prior knowledge of people visit churches on Sundays, we researched to find out what times will they visit on Sunday. Our results were: 8:30, 9:30 and 11:30. I think I did well in spreading out my jobs, this way I’ll be able to easily follow my plan. To improve for next year, I would like to find people who care more about my task list. The people I found, as mentioned in the Question Reflection, they read the task list for around 5 - 10 sec. and then said “yes”.
