Transcripts
in this video I'll be walking through
the Criterion a section of myp personal
project report that managed to score me
at 24 out of 24. so I started off a sort
of a catchy title I will be able to
introduce my personal project so in my
personal project I explored the natural
and man-made applications of golden
proportions hence the title the Enigma
of golden proportions
and starting up is the learning goal for
my project I set up a distinct and
challenging goal derived from my
interest pushing myself to be a better
version of myself just an introduction
my goal is to explore the various ways
in which our world is run by Golden
proportions by researching a natural and
man-made applications of golden
proportions so this is what I want to
learn from my personal project I want to
know more about the natural man-made
applications and golden proportions so
this can sort of be taken as a learning
goal
and to develop an attractive informative
handmade Digital Book allowing me to
compile my findings while spreading the
knowledge
so this is the product that I want to
create as a result of the learning goal
so I wrote my goal in a way in which I
mentioned my learning goal
as well as a product that clearly
connects with the learning goal it can
be seen as a project a progression this
learning goal would definitely lead to
this sort of product
moving on what sparked my interest in
this goal and made it personal
so first I started off with
certified sparked the concept of even
starting with a mathematical idea it was
my interest in mathematics as a subject
so start off with let's support the
interest
and I also mentioned what field this
interest which was joining the
mathematics team
went to a practice questions for the
kangaroo competition and allowed me to
explore many fascinating ways in which
mathematics could be applied to real
life scenarios this is all also spark a
spark for my interest but in the form of
experience itself
and one more thing that I should take
note of is that you should be able to
connect your interests to
the learning goal so I wrote what I
wrote is that I stumbled across a video
on Golden proportions
and I found the idea extraordinary
leading me to inevitably wanting to
explore more about its natural
occurrences in nature
and how mankind was able to neutralize
it to its advantage
so as you can see this connects to
natural and man-made applications as
well as golden proportions so you can
clearly see how my interests like step
by step led to this sort of learning
goal first I was interested in
mathematics I joined the method I've
seen due to my interest in mathematics I
gained some more experience I found out
about Golden proportions and this is how
it led to my learning goal it's sort of
all a process
and one more thing to include is
personal engagement
so
it can easily increase a few uh just
feel through a few phrases my curiosity
took over me
and
I took this an opportunity to learn more
about the world around me in terms of
mathematics which in my eyes makes the
world much more interesting compared to
the black and gray world that I was used
to this shows
personal engagement
which is very important for the personal
project especially because that's what
the cameras are looking for it has to be
something that you personally can put
your thoughts in and are personally
really interested in
and one more thing that I did is that I
sort of introduced the global context
that I would relate my personal project
to in a more discreet manner through
scientific
scientific and
technological development
in which connects to directly connects
to the global context scientific and
technological innovation
so concept focusing on the natural
awareness laws this is mainly just
the sort of the meaning
of the global complex itself and just
tweaking the meeting slightly so that it
connects better to
my learning goal
and one more thing to include is
how your learning goal can have any
real life applications and more like
just talk about why it actually matters
so I wrote to benefit
upcoming designers from all fields
benefit across the right wide range of
fields for this range of beneficial
designs and just specified a bit for
architecture what could it be but also
could it be just as examples
moving on to prior knowledge and skills
so I just wrote sort of just a knowledge
I had before I started my personal
project at all
so I just knew all I knew was what the
golden ratio was
and I also knew that it was a common
portion seen in nature
and this is the knowledge that I knew
beforehand
I also mentioned that the skills I knew
before not just more mathematical skills
skillful in using a mathematical formula
this is talking more about the skills I
had previously before
there's no need to say that we have you
have a lot of Prior Knowledge and Skills
because it doesn't really matter it's
all about being able to show progression
across your personal project
moving on to the product goal
this is just a more repetition
informative digital handbook a product
that you want to create
yeah and just
a sort of reason I guess for some
details I wrote the reason why I chose a
book more like just not to give a simple
introduction but also a source allows
readers to be able to get more rich and
in-depth information
who belong with the product success
criteria
the important thing is that the success
criteria is directly related to the
product goal
it's not really about the report it's
not about anything else it's directly
related to what you're going to make
so I just started off the introduction
on
how I
managed to decide what My Success
criteria will be
I try reviewing already published
successful books covering a topic of
golden proportions
and I also just looked at what type of
content they had and how a book
generally is to get an idea on what type
of product success criteria I had it
just shows that I did some research
to create my success Court here and so
this blindly creating some stuff
so the most important thing when
actually creating your success criteria
is to have requirements that are smart
must be specific measurable achievement
achievable realistic And Timely
one important thing is that it has to be
testable
we always have to include make sure it's
a testing method a way that you can for
sure decide that okay this is definitely
achieved it can be in the form since a
lot of things may be subjected we can be
in the form of a survey which I chose to
do everything on or if there's something
more objective like for example has a
minimum of 50 pages you can just sell
this yourself yes it has 50 pages
and another thing is to make sure it's
really specific so for example taking
the success criteria visually appealing
relevant intriguing
hand drawn
reflects golden proportions title and
subtitle should be specific compelling
filled with significant keywords so you
can just tell by all the detailed
descriptions that this is really really
specific
you know exactly what to do you know
exactly what's to be expected of this
because it's too big there's no way to
really test it
and this is just an X you should also
include an explanation as to what you
mean by visually appealing because it's
quite subjective as well you can say
fancy and eye-catching
typography complement each other
and the coverage decides the reader's
choice and
so this is more like an explanation on
why on how you want to achieve the
success criteria as well as mostly the
reason as to why the success criteria is
important
so for me it's more like the coverage
decides the reader's choice on whether
the book would be of interest to them
that's why the cover page is really an
important thing it's really important to
care about the visual aspects it's also
important to make sure there's keywords
about Golden proportion so that the
reader has an idea on what they're about
to find out
and of course being realistic is also
important 50 pages may seem like a lot
that some people may not seem like a lot
but generally it's a decent number it's
not too much it's not too little so it's
pretty much realistic given that the
time frame that I had which is really
important to
keep track of and of course there's no
problem with being ambitious but it's
always good to keep track of what you
could possibly actually do
and one more thing that can be taking
into consideration is that although it
can be realistic it can't be too easy
either there still has to be a certain
it has to be rigorous to an extent so I
managed to do that by covering many
things in my book I wanted to include an
array of occurrences of golden
proportions that
are both natural and man-made I wanted
to have a detailed explanation of the
idea behind golden proportions at least
a few pictures
and make sure the headers
and body techs are made in the way that
suit their purpose
and need to include sketching or
explanations of words
somewhat visually appealing bibliography
to create sort of a complete book that
managed to fulfill certain requirements
and the final thing to include in the
criteria in a section would be the
planning to achieve the product which is
done to normally the timetables
contracts whatever I decided to just
create a timetable and both a long and
short-term timetable has to be created
so I just thought it was a short
paragraph explaining
the purpose of each separate timetable
as well as a short description of each
of them
so the long-term planning timetable is
mainly just for generally the entire
personal project which includes the
report making
may even include Mentor meetings
and the product itself
so you can see there many thing it's
quite General it's just a month or so
it's General tasks identify connections
learning outline topic begin to use
additional process Journal first meeting
a supervisor working on the Trap so it's
generally just the whole personal
project in one vault
separated into
subject just across the months to have a
general idea on what should be completed
by each month
and the next timetable is more specific
because it focuses on the product itself
it must be very specific because you
have to know how to make the product
so the how you create this timeline
should be based off of the relevant
success criteria that was created
previously so in this situation you
should be applying all your success
criteria so when you create your to-do
list on what you want to
create what you how you want to go about
making your product you should first
think of how do you achieve
your success criteria
and eventually that will lead to your
to-do list so this is generally My
Success criteria so what do I have to do
to achieve that and after I create my
to-do list I just summarize it under a
short title for the tabs
um
after I do all this I create I somehow
separate the dates from the I start to
the day I end uh when do I want to
achieve this it's not important that you
have to achieve it by this timeline but
it's important to have a clear outline
because as you can see on the progress
notes on the right there are times when
the deadline has been extended postponed
because these are all just predictions
it's your planning before you actually
do anything
but
being able to just have a plan is very
important as part of criteria a cartoon
a planning
and one more important thing is that
the visibility on
all these images and words are all
important because I've seen some people
that include these tables but as a photo
and they make it really small which
makes it hard to see because in their
personal project requirements they
strictly say all pictures should be
visible there's no saying whether
examinals examiners will zoom in on your
report for you so even if it takes up
space that's okay as long as you manage
to make it so that everything is visible
so this is just how I separated all my
tasks
into different
sections
and finally I
think you should end up ended with is
should always end with the submission
of your final product and Report
is to show a completion of everything
and this is all that I included for the
Criterion a section of my personal
project report thank you for watching
