Note:
Students need to evaluate and discuss the contents based on the evolution approach in the form of critical syntheses and compare / contrast relevant arguments that sourced from the reputable academic sources. The contents may cover the following: conceptual understandings, definitions, assumptions and conditions, criteria, typologies and classifications, roles and functions, statistical equations, procedures and steps, guidelines and rules of thumbs, and models.
All the examples of the empirical journal articles used in Section 3.0 and Section 5.0 must be within the years of publication [From Year 2007 – Year 2017].
For the purpose of transcripting the procedures/guidelines/steps of the software application, students need to download the video from the Youtube, read the process and transcript into words and sentences.
