Structure of my Dissertation

-

       Here is my first plan for my dissertation. I understand that some of the things I have planned to discuss may be cut out in the final edit (there is a lot of information to unpack) which I am fine with since I have gone into quite a lot of detail when logging my research on my blog. This means nothing has been wasted- even if pieces of research don’t make it into the dissertation, they’ve furthered my understanding of false memories so will mean I can write with more accuracy.     Before uploading this plan onto my blog, I got some advice from my tutor on how to ensure I go about my dissertation in the right way. Most importantly, I took from this advice to not waste my words- don’t become too descriptive and don’t simply walk through everything I’ve done in the project. I needed this as I am very inclined to being ‘waffley’ when writing. I need to take a reflective tone and really show how everything I’m writing is vital in answering my title....

Final review of my project timeline

Review of my project

-
Time-management, strengths and weaknesses I am facing, and my project going further.    My second attempt at a time-management plan titled 'Updated, detailed time-management' was infinitely more successful than the first which gave me a much more clear way to effectively pick times in which completing this project's research should be done. For example, having a date picked in which i planned to complete a set of five research based blog posts meant that I felt motivated and even almost obligated to fit the deadline. This is because having separate short term and long term goals forced me to become self aware that by completing my short term goals, my long term goals would subsequently be closer to being achievable.      I've been consistent in the amount of time I have spent per week on collecting information from my sources, understanding and summarising them, and formulating my own subjective interpretations of the things I have researched. One thing that...
