Talk:Issues in Interdisciplinarity 2019-20/The Issue of History in Wellbeing

15/11/2019
First group meeting

Attendance: Rachel and Rita

We brainstormed possible ideas and decided to work on personality due to our shared interest in the MBTI personality test.

Agreed to arrange for a second meeting next week and to go back and carry out more in-depth research on the topic.

Second group meeting

Attendance: Charmaine, Rachel, Rita and Jason

Came up with a more specific topic idea: how different disciplines believe personalities are created and the way they collect evidence to support their claim

Came up with four different disciplines to focus on: Psychology, Anthropology, Biology and Philosophy

Divided the research based on disciplines:

Rachel: Psychology

Rita: Anthropology

Jason: Philosophy

Charmaine: Biology

Presented our idea to James during ATK tutorial and he commented that the topic might be too broad. We understood why he would think so and decided to go back and research other ideas and meet again during the week to present our findings

Third group meeting

Attendance: Charmaine, Rita and Rachel

Rachel suggested that instead of looking at personalities, we could look at well-being in interdisciplinary research. We were still unsure if we should focus on Evidence or History and decided to carry out our research first and then decide

Decided to use the disciplines: Economics (Rachel), Anthropology (Rita), Philosophy (Jason), Psychology and Biology (Charmaine)

Also settled the structure of our wikibook:

Introduction

1 paragraph per discipline

Evaluation in relation to either Evidence/ History

Conclusion Conclusion

Fourth group meeting:

Attendance: Rachel and Rita

Decided that based on the research we all found it would be best for us to focus on History instead of Evidence as we found a lot of ways we could explore how the definition of well-being developed over the course of each discipline’s history

Discussed the content of the introduction and conclusion

Agreed and informed Charmaine and Jason that we would finalise our individual discipline’s paragraphs by Sunday and meet up the next week in order to discuss the evaluation based on what we had found

Rita explained that her research for Anthropology wasn’t fruitful and decided to help Jason with Philosophy instead since she already had some ideas for it

1/12/2019
All of us uploaded our paragraphs

3/12/2019
Fifth meeting

Attendance: Charmaine, Rachel, Rita, Jason

Compared what we had found and crafted point for the evaluation, introduction and conclusion

Decided that Rachel would do the evaluation, Jason would do the conclusion and Rita would do the Introduction

Also decided that we needed to refine our paragraphs to put it on the wikibook

Jason and Rita combined their research for philosophy

5/12/2019
Rachel created the Wikipage

6/12/2019-8/12/2019
All of uploaded our paragraphs onto the Wikipage

Jason, Rachel and Rita attended ATK tutorial and presented our idea to James who approved it

Charmaine decided to combine Psychology and Biology under Neuroscience.

Rita and Rachel helped to refine Charmaine’s Neuroscience paragraph: moved part of it to Jason’s conclusion

Rita and Rachel helped to cut the words from 1500+ to 1192.

Charmaine proofread the wikipage as well as made the final overall edits of the language, sentence structures and phrasings of it.



Thanks to everyone for their work:)
