Engaging in ‘internal feedback’ (Nichol and McCallum, 2021) I wrote some feedback for each of my peers in the tutorial, and used this as catalyst to focus and inspire my own work. These reflections have motivated me to consider/implement the following:
- Avoid the use of subjective terms, but if these are used I should clarify what I mean by these.
- Be clear about any effects or outcomes from the research, and acknowledge these as a result of the research.
- Read into participant bias (a term introduced to me by my peer in this tutorial, which will be relevant to my research).
- Decide/clarify what output of my project will be.
- Be careful when constructing the presentation to balance the amount of information given in each section according to its importance/value to overall narrative.
- Present data, analysis, other information etc. in a clear and simple way, with explanations of terms and concepts where needed.
- Decide on method of presentation that is simple and easy to follow – PowerPoint slides may be best method.
- Providing images that represent themes/ideas is visually engaging and interesting, I will consider how I might integrate this into my presentation.
- Ensure I include my own reflections at each stage
I also received some direct feedback from my peers and tutor, largely relating to the structure of my presentation and the type of information I include on the slides, that I will be applying when I create my final presentation.
