To Do: (Email Richard at some point? / Speak to)

How will initial ideas be turned into a dissertation & a practical?

Write down all questions that you want to investigate and select TWO. The more specific the better.  

Scribble down what you suggest the answers could be. 

What is the purpose of the study? Is your question researchable? 

Make a working title, print it out and stick it on the wall. Make it a question you can answer. What? Why?

Consider timing. Factor in tutorials. 

Allow generous time for initial reading and writing up. 

Use tutorials as milestones for different amounts of research. 

Start an evolving bibliography - name, forename, date, place, publisher, page.

Questionnaires:

Is it the best way to find results? Discuss the questions with your supervisor. Avoid ambiguity, imprecision or assumption. 

Avoid double, leading, presuming or offensive questions. Primary research is important to get a good grade. 

Interviews.
