Milestone 3 - Writing plan, Research v1
TARGET DATES TO UPLOAD BY:
ASPIRE EPQ: 5TH JULY 2022
STANDARD EPQ: 10TH SEPTEMBER 2022
This is the third assessment of your progress.
This is where you should upload:
1) Writing Plan
This is your plan for your writing for your Dissertation OR for your writing for your Investigation OR for the written background research relating to your Artefact (see p21 of the "Introduction to EPQ" booklet re planning your writing).
2) Research evidence version 1:
(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.
