Research Methods Week 7 – 10 June 2014

Project presentation week.

This week we had to present our project ideas to our cohort for peer feedback. The week previous we submitted an outline to our tutors and I received some very good feedback that helped form my presentation. I also contributed to others suggesting improvements that may help.

After my presentation I received some very good feedback both from tutors and fellow students. There was a gap in my literature that I had identified, I explained that this gap existed as I had to get familiar again with the ologies of research, i.e. Ontology, epistemology, methodology and phenomenology. Ethics was also discussed and it was becoming more apparent that I will need to apply for ethical approval.

This was a good exercise as it showed areas that I needed to improve on for my research topic. After receiving the formative feedback it was clear that my project idea needed a lot of refining.

It was interesting to see what the other students were looking at and how they were creating their artifact.
