Week 2: 29th Sept - 5th Oct: PART 2

Got next worksheet to do for the 12th October. Shown below:
You should have decided upon a broad topic for your honour’s project and identified some issues associated with the topic that you want to research.

1. Formulate a research question for your project. Details on the research question can be found in presentation 1 in the module folder.

2. When developing a research question you must produce a question that can be answered by performing literature research, practical experimentation and critical analysis. The question should also focus the activities of your project.

a) What is the focus of your project?
b) What information do you need to find out about?
c) What Experimental work do you need to perform?

3. How will the information that you obtain in 2 allow you to answer the research question?
This is to be done for the 12th October. It gives me plenty of time to think seriously on the specific topic and therefore the research question and also to go and see lecturers to get some advice.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plan for the next 2 weeks (to 12th October)
  1. Research websites/previous projects etc to find the problems which I could address as my honours project
  2. Narrow down a problem and how I can develop it into a question
  3. Talk to lecturers about the chosen topic - their suggestions
