CoP 3 - 2nd Lecture: Methodologies and Critical Analysis

When researching and analysing texts for your Dissertation ask yourself 'How the information is':

Sourced
Collected
Collated
Presented

1. Make decisions about how to collect and order information.

2. Choose a relevant theoretical stand point.

3. Apply these to your study.

4. Explicitly outline this in the introduction. Address suggested failings in the conclusion.

Evidence, Reason, Logic, Argument.

When thinking of a Methodology to involve within your Essay, think of how the topic you are approaching affects you, others, the industry. Examples:

- Culturally
- Economically
- Psychologically
- Technologically

Explore theorists/peer-reviewed authors in these fields that may have ideas you can build upon or adapt elsewhere.
