How to start LR? How to start LR? Project: Class attendance system using RFID (CASUR) Example: Enhanced Karipap flavour Start with a topic
Class attendance in FC Break into Class attendance everywhere else (take at least 3 Break into parts parts example) • Karipap: Type, •Karipap: similar epok-epok, pastel, empanada, RFID Filling, Skin, teh-teh, cornish pasty ,samosa • Karipap Origin, recipe •Type : round, triangle, hand rolled, machine RFID Implanting • Flavour: Popular made Technology to : Store data • flavour flavour (& why), •Filling: Sweet, savoury, single filling, multi- spices, heat, filling, filling, gourmet, new Technology to : Search data • enhanced •Skin: butter, flour, wholemeal, margarine, puff world view pastry • Enhanced: what •Origin: Asia,, Europe, mediterranean Start with a combination •Recipe: baked, boiled, fried Class attendance (in FC, everywhere else): how its topic (flour, filling, done, what do they use, who use, make comparison spices), cooking Research Research these parts method these parts RFID: what type, active/passive, how to read, how to make tag info, Store data: how to get and store data from RFID, how and where to store data (dbase, tables,etc) Search data: what algo to use, how to present result
Where to find these info for LR? A little change : find within

Some notes on LR Homework
• Research projects are fluid not all are • Start your LR. the same so tweak where necessary • Meet your SV and discuss your approach – With SV guidance to it have a ‘mind map’ of what should • Start broad and end specific be in your LR • Read, understand then write in your own • Submit the following (online): the TOC of words say NO to Plagiarism Chapter 2 – Reminder: direct translation is plagiarism – What is going into your PSM CH2 – Cite diligently TOC -Table of Content
Example: mind map CASUR End of class today
STAY POSITIVE, MOVE FORWARD
