3 -My reasoning behind selecting Socio-cognitive Engineering this quarter was to gain an insight on the integration of real-life scenarios with technology. Throughout my bachelor studies, I primarily focused on technical concepts, but I felt a disconnect from real-world applications. Therefore, when presented with the opportunity to work with robots to assist individuals with dementia, I was thrilled as it provided an ideal chance to bridge this gap and engage directly with practical, human-centered challenged.
3 +My reasoning behind selecting Socio-cognitive Engineering for this quarter was to gain an insight on how real-life situations combine with technology. For the past years during my bachelor phase, it was great receiving knowledge on more technical aspects. But I missed the connected with the real world. Therefore, when receiving the assignment of working with the available robots to cater to people with dementia, I was very excited as this allowed the perfect opportunity to do so.

5 -As for out group, it was an excellent blend of individuals with diverse skill sets, creating a smooth process. It was evident that each team member was fully dedicated to the course, and what's more, they shared the same level of enthusiasm and passion as I did. We efficiently divided tasks for each week and met once or twice to monitor our collective progress. These meetings provided valuable opportunities to reflect on the lectures and discussions, enabling us to refine our own ideas effectively.
5 +Regarding the group, it was great combination of people with different skills, which allowed the process to become very smooth. Not only was it clear that each team member was ready to commit to the course properly, but they also all had the same level of interest and passion that I do! Each week, tasks were divided appropriately and we regularly met once or twice a week to check our general progress. It was also the perfect moment to reflect on the lectures and the content discussed, which could be used to optimise our own ideas.

7 -Regarding my personal contributions in the project, initially, I was involved in the objectives, operational demands, situational activities, design scenarios, and stakeholder analysis. This deep dive allowed me to grasp the intricacies behind our system's motivation. The insights gathered from drafting this segments gave me enough confidence to deliver the final midterm presentation. Additionally, I also made the relevant slides, which helped me to summarise it more clearly. For the later stages following the midterm, our focus shifted to the testing phase. I took on the responsibility of ensuring each participant in the test group received specific tasks to interact with NAO. Throughout the NAO experiment, I remained on standby to address any questions. Concerning the report, I examined the functions, limitations, and final conclusions of the testing phase.

9 -There are still many aspects of the project that can be further researched! For example, applying our research and experiments to the relevant test groups. This is definitely a project and course I would interested in potentially revisiting for future research purposes.
