Wiser Response

I haven’t posted a blog update for a couple of days, yet since my last blog update I have made significant progress. I collected my report so far from the Wiser adviser, and she was very complimentary about my work, suggesting only a few minor amendments which she left to my discretion. I then arranged a date with Jacinta Boon, the proofreader for when she would be able to read through my report – we have agreed the date the 6th March. If possible I will try to get it to her prior to this, the sooner the better as far as I am concerned.

I do, however, want to make as much progress as possible with this report, filling in as many different sections as possible, as it is excellent to have a professional critical eye read over your work, I would hate for her to only be able to read a few sections, and not grasp the full idea of the report.

While Jacinta is reading over my work, I will start considering different ways to format this, whilst working on my promotional graphics. The graphics I choose to use for my promotional items can be easily integrated into my report, and therefore this will be mutually beneficial.

Also, today I resubmitted my report to Wiser, with the changes I have made to it since I last handed it to the advisor. Usually they are unable to read work that is longer than 3,000 words, however because the lady said that there were no real problems with my work, with regards to my written style, she was able to make an exception.

The only difficulty which arises is the fact that I am due to get this document back on the 8th March, and that Jacinta will already be reading the final version by then. In order to overcome this I have decided that I will listen to any guidance that Jacinta has to give me, and then compare this to the Wiser document, and make amendments depending on whether I feel they are beneficial to the overall impact of the text.

Today was also successful as I have completed the photoshoot which I will use to illustrate a couple of sections of my report. This is something which is a massive sign of relief to have out of the way, as photoshoots can be both very stressful and timeconsuming.

I have decided that tomorrow I will not work on the written report for the first half of the day, yet that I will ensure that all of my photographs from my primary research so far are annotated and up-to-date. I will also be able to print these pages as I have coloured ink now, so I will be able to assess my research realistically. I feel that my primary research at present is excellent, however that I have made poor progress with the secondary research. However, it is clear to the reader of the report that I have an extensive range of secondary research by looking at the report bibliography.

Tomorrow, therefore, I will go through this bibliography and locate all of the key texts and extract the relevant parts from there. This will enable me to get my secondary research up to date, whilst also equipping me with the knowledge needed to write the literature review at the end of the report.
