Project Diary 1

So, I have finally started to make progress on my project.
I have designed my two questionnaires and will be sending the link within the next day or two. I have also started to write up my literature review, as I found a lot of literature for my proposal I have just got to write why it is useful and of course why it isn't.

I am struggling with my introduction, as i am unsure if I am writing it as something I want to do, or if I am writing it as something that I have done? So if anyone can answer this then progress can be made here to.

The next few weeks will be difficult as Peter is away so he will be unreachable, therefore I will be requiring the help of other advisors and the rest of my fellow blog buddies.

I plan to get my questionnaires up and running so I can collect and analyse the data so I can start to plot questions for my focus group session.

So far I am pleased with my progress however I have barely scraped the surface of what is expected of me.

  1. I feel the same Abi... I have started to write brief introductions but I can't seem to get anything to flow. I have had to change some of my initial questions in my semi-structured interview as they didn't bode well with some of my participants. I hope you are getting started and I wish you all the luck in the world with your project.

  2. Hey Joe, Yeah it's took a while to get the motivation after so many weeks off, however I have made progress, my surveys are up and running (women only sorry) and my intro is complete and I am half way through chapter 2.

    You know I found it easier to start with my surveys than my intro even though I know what I want to do for my project.

    As long as you have changed your question for the better then thats fine but if you have changed them and your not particularly happy about it maybe you could change the participant?

    Will check out your blog so I know what your project is about.

    Thanks Joe, good luck with yours too

    Ab x
