Complete Box

Out of Class Discussion 6

Final meet up for finalization of our project

It was also The Day before submission.
As seen in the picture:
Wayne (pink shirt) was reading through to finalise and standardise our report,
Ee Rick was finalising our website and blog,
Joe was preparing and editing the video,
Yen Yen was upstairs writing her part of her findings,
and Michelle was taking this picture and finalising her findings as well.

Proof of her working.

Indeed much was done on this day.

The Making Of the Presentation Video

Met up, set up, and posed for the shooting.

We tried our best to produce something different for our video.

It really is not easy for us business students but it was a smooth process.

Main actors and actresses:
Yen Yen, Michelle, Joe, Wayne and Ee Rick.

Director:
Yen Yen, Michelle, Joe, Wayne and Ee Rick.

(because we are everyone's boss)

The making of the Presentation Box

Finally the base is done.

Everyone else don't see this but our group actually spent 2 hours to make and wrap this box. Unlike others where they only took 5 minute to wrap theirs. No kidding.

Okay we did use newspaper as well but it was for the first layer.

One thing is that we have to admit that we did spent too much time on what that was not important.
Others may not even know or appreciate this :P

Out of Class Discussion 5

Getting together to write out our whole assignment

Everyone playing their part

Helping and teaching each other to get work done faster

Look at all the devices on the table.

Come to think about it, we have kind of spent a lot of money by coming out for our discussions as well.

Outings like this really lead to our Dependable Variable ourselves.

Youth overspending at expensive coffee or food places.

Out of Class Discussion 4

Out to do our SSPN and key in the data together.

Its really hard to have so many assignments due at so near times and we have to come out to do all these but with everyone's effort and sacrifice, everything is possible.

Out of Class Discussion 3

Another out of class discussions.

Did we mention that our out of class discussions usually easily take up to 5 to 6 hours and we only leave the place at 1 or 2 am despite having early classes the next day?

The reason for the long hours is usually because of all the jams that we are having.
All getting tired from extracting data from the survey forms.

Having whole day of classes and then going out again for discussions is really not easy.

Picture taken at almost 12am.

Day 10

Tutorial day.

Thinking hard again as usual.

We need to make some amendments on the questions we did for our questionnaires.

Viewing materials from our previous weeks for ideas

Its a rare sight that Ee Rick is taking up the marker pen.
He usually types more (as he is the manager for all the online medias of our group) than to write in our class discussions.

Out of Class Discussion 2

Because we believe in teamwork we were out for more group discussion to have more synergy.

Adding materials to our Facebook https://www.facebook.com/walletwachers and editing our questionaire forms.

Day 9

The day in class was used to narrow down our sampling model.
Our target population will be the youths is Malaysia. However, we narrow it down into youths in Kuala Lumpur. Further down, we target the youths that have credit cards. Narrowing further, we aim for youths that owns more than one branded items for our survey. At the end, we come to a conclusion where we will find youths that shops in malls. Hence, we decide to go to 5 shopping malls that might have all these criterias which is Pavilion, Mid Valley Megamall, Berjaya Times Square, The Gardens and One Utama.

Mr. Stephen going through out Facebook questionnaires and giving us further guidance on our questionnaire.

 Trying to give in ideas

 And all is laid out

 Hypothesis that we manage to come out with based on the previous  

 Definitely not day-dreaming

Sometimes in a group. even drawing circles not round enough or big enough can cause a stir.

So it is always important to bring in laughter to cool things down.
