Week 10/11: Pulling it all together

In the final sessions we did a bit of work planning for the writing of the study as we await some data. First, we developed a plan for data analysis which I have summarised here:

ISS data analysis instructions

We also suggested a plan was required to write the paper, so I prepared an outline, cribbed from Jess’ work, that gives a reasonably detailed description of the structure and what should be in each section:

Finally, I promised to do a few things before leaving in order to ensure support for the project was still in place. I have made a list of these things and will make sure I keep up my end of the bargain. I sincerely hope that we get some good data and that you can write a decent paper with it. My email for contact after March 28th will be: dpiggott33@gmail.com

Week 1: Getting started

Marathon StartAs you all know, this term there are no scheduled lectures (seminars will be going on as normal). Instead we have an enrichment research project that will be led by you, in keeping with the university’s Student as Producer philosophy. Because it’s an enrichment project, attendance is voluntary. You only come if you want to contribute.

The aim of the project will be to create and carry out a small research project on a subject of your choosing. At the end of the term we should hopefully be in a position to write a short article and submit it for publication in Neo, the university’s student journal.

Your job will be to think of good ideas, find and read relevant research, collect data and add information to the blog each week. My job will be to assist and facilitate the weekly sessions and keep the blog up to date. You can let me know your thoughts on this by voting in the poll below.
