OUAN601 - Resolving Your Research Project

In the third and final lecture conducted by Richard, he explained the necessary steps and requirements when rounding off our dissertation project. Some advise was given to us in order to aid the completion of the essay in accordance with the deadline in January. The advise included

• Refer to your original plan.
• Be more disciplined than ever.
• Don’t prioritise the practical over the written.
• Set targets.
• Scale down your ambitions if necessary.
• Learning Outcomes.

Following this the correct way to Harvard reference was shown to us by Richard, and it was explained that although there is a correct format (Author (date) Title Place Publisher) there are some acceptable and stylistic methods to use this format in terms of highlighting certain information. Finally, the bibliography should be alphabetised by surname and the invidivual references separated into types of research sources. (Book, websites, journals, visits etc.)
