Major Project! What a Thing!

Phew!

Major Project is literally draining all the juices out of me! I feel
so tired after each meeting as we had to plan out the Literature
Review, Discussion of our Results & Observations and finally come
out with a logical (and of course practical) suggestions to our "Company"
(a major healthcare authority).

Just for your information, Major Project (a.k.a Final Year Project) is
a major component in every Diploma in Temasek Polytechnic. Final year
students are given a selection of topics for them to play with (I mean research on...)

Which means that we poor souls have to conduct strenous research into
their selected fields (food science, nutrition or food service). Once that is
done, students are to report on their findings in an aptly named Final Report.

The finale ends with a Poster Presentation


Now back to where I left off...


My group is in charge of evaluating the effectiveness of a child care centre
programme right here in dear 'ol Singapore. What we were tasked to do includes:

  • Compiling the passing and failure rate of child care centres which participated in the programme
  • Evaluating the effectiveness of the programme (includes coming up with a questionnaire and interviewing the supervisors and cooks of child care centres)
  • Design a pamphlet as a nutrition guide for parents
  • Writing a report on our findings
  • Present our research to a group of industry veterans

Sounds tough huh? You bet!

Well, that's all I can spare for now...it's back to more research, research and more research!
