A2 conclusions/evaluations THIS POST GOT LOST SOMEHOW - REPOSTING

Lovelinesses,

good news - the deadline has been pushed back til Wed 25th Feb 2.30-4.0 in C108 (this is after half term).

I would like you to bring a printout of your current version of your analysis to the lesson on Monday, whatever stage it is at. The deadline for your conclusion/evaluation (which can be combined or under separate headings) is next Friday (6th Feb).

Conclusion:

• Draw tentative conclusions, evaluating what they key findings are and relating them to your hypotheses and any relevant theory
• Show you understand the context of your data and the pressures on languge that this context creates (why the techniques used are used)
• Show you understand the factors that limit your investigation (whilst still impressing the reader with what thought you put in to combat these)

Evaluation: 

• Were you able to answer the research question effectively?  Why?  Why not?
• Were there any aspects of your analytical approach that seemed a good idea at the design stage but were less effective than anticipated?  Why might that have been the case? Was there something that proved very effective?
• How could the project be developed further to make it more generalisable, reliable, comparable etc? Be careful not to be too simplistic about this and be tentative/evaluative – leave it out if you don’t have anything interesting to add.
