During this final tutorial Kenny (my supervisor) gave me a very focused feedback session on my draft dissertation. We both know there are lots of holes to fill there yet. I need to be more specific and develop a clearer line of thought.
I have found it difficult to manage all the information. I can recall researching areas of the topic but cannot always find my notes. This is one of the difficulties I face having to work with an amanuensis most of the time. It has made me conscious of the need to develop further skills in the area of information management. Definitely a case of three heads not being better than one when there isn't a set system for filing documents consistently.
The tutorial process has been a revelation this year. I have felt very well supported and guided in my first attempt at research.
The project I carried out has shown me the world of fieldwork. I was able to plan and execute different parts of the study using several different methodologies. This was a deliberate attempt to widen my experience and catch a variety of data to handle.
