Time Plan

 

October

By this point I would like to have clarified my research question and structured my chapters with my personal tutor. Academic support should also be organised by this point.

Early November

This tutorial should focus on a discussion of a draft of at least one chapter of the Dissertation. Particular focus should be given to Harvard referencing, critical analysis, triangulation, and use of sources.

Mid November

Coming in to November I would of liked to have completed a chapter and discussed the content with my main tutor and my academic support tutor. At this point I would also like to discuss what practical elements I should be considering.

Late November

Students should aim to have roughly 3-4000 words written at this stage, or two chapters completed to a good standard. These chapters should evidence a clear critical argument, informed by a variety of academic sources. They should also include clear chapter introductions and conclusions. This tutorial is a good opportunity to discuss progress made against the project timeline agreed in Tutorial 1 and, if insufficient progress has been made agree a plan to get the project back on track. Nov 19

Early December

During this third tutorial I would like to have at least 4000 words and have all my sources and quotes ready to start writing the remaining 4000, discussions with both tutors will help focus critical argument. I would also like to check progress against this timeline to see if a revised plan is necessary.

After Christmas

During the final tutorial I would like general feedback from tutors with specific focus on formatting.
