Further research (30/1/2014)

* Listened to a presentation named 'Kick Starting Your Research Writing' and wrote down the following notes...
  • Make sure to include 2 to 3 pieces of research such as articles.
  • Make sure to write in detail what they were trying to get across, how this can shed light on my subject and the main points/purpose of their work. What connections and issues does this raise?
  • If we go over the word count then the blog can include any 'spill over'. The actual word count is 2500-3500 words.
  • Try and get 'primary research' in the form of interviews with key names in my field of research. Should include well considered questions. 
  • Questionnaires are not as strong at this level as you would need to get a massive audience to take part. 

With the little time we had left he asked us to find some more primary research in the from of articles and books. Therefore, I decided to look back home at the collection of narrative books I have in order to see if any of them relate to my work.

Also try and email some people in my field of research and ask for their opinions on my topic.

* Before next session we must email our lecturer a literature review of 500 words. What should be on it is covered on the presentation he showed us today which is now on Moodle.

In short, review a piece of text I have read. As simple as that.
