    Full updated PPF and Research up to September 10th 2020 Assignment

    1) Current version of your PPF

    You may have added an amended timescale, thought of other additions or altered your title in some way for example.  Changes should be visible either by striking through what is replaced or putting new material in a different colour.  New timelines can be a new page in a different colour.

    2) Research evidence:

    (The PPF should have the first few items you looked at for research into the viability of your title and no more, these should also appear in your Research Table).
    For a dissertation this should consist of the Research Record Table (on GOL and should have been downloaded) full of entries showing what you have looked at and evaluated the usefulness of.  It should contain all the sources you have look at and then selected from.  TOP TIP - fill it in as you go along.  You are aiming for a minimum of 20 sources actually used for a dissertation (good dissertations may well have significantly more than this).  I would expect more than the number you use to appear in your Research Table as you should show that you have selected what you use from what you found.  You are not expected to have necessarily completed all of your research.

    For other routes, a Research Record Table, which is possibly not as long,  but also take pictures of your sketches/storyboards/notebooks etc. to show a good chunk of preparatory research work has been done.  Then either convert the images to a PDF or put the pictures into a document and save that as a PDF before uploading.

    Ensure your name is in your filenames and that your document is either a Word compatible document or a PDF.  Pages documents are not acceptable.
