4. Write the work up in sections where you write about (a). Research Tools - look back at your work, were you aware before this course, that the things we identified and discussed were resource tools? How useful were these research tools in putting your projects together? (b). Research Methods - This relates to the learning you did around identifying and using Primary, Secondary and Empirical methods. Was this information and learning new, are you clearer as to why they are different from each other and which ones have advantages over the other? How useful was this learning in putting together your projects? (c). Research skills - This relates to differentiating between good research methods and tools, your abilities in skim reading, listening and note taking. Are you more aware of these skills now and how useful were they in producing your projects.
