Going Back To The Brief

This last week I have been working on ensuring that my report matches the learning objectives, in order to achieve the highest possible grade. I am aware that this report is worth a double module, consequently I should consider how this may pull up my grade if I am on the cusp of a 2:1 / first.

Today I have been through my report and ensured that the numbers correspond with the appendix, and I have also added figure numbers. Once I have written this blog entry, I will go back to the report and ensure that the reference list is all correct, in the respect that there should be no other references which are not in the list, or vice versa.

I will then read through my report and attempt to finish the sections which I have not yet completed, including the vectors section and a draft of the literature review.

So far my word count is just under 11,000 this is where I aim to keep this word count, therefore I should not go above or below this significantly, allowing myself the standard 10% leeway either way.
Also today I will ensure that the format of my report matches the criterion of the brief, for example it must be paginated, and it must also be 1.5 line spacing. Once I have ensured all is correct, I can move on to creatively formatting my report.

However, I am also aware that I must ensure that all information contained within my report is as relevant to the ‘here and now’ as possible. Consequently, I will go through my report with my research file and make sure I have included as much of the information, from as vast a variety of sources as possible.

The references list at the back of the report is segmented into different categories such as “books”, “journals” etc. The two categories which I know I am limited in is journals, and also magazines – which I have not started a category yet.

I have a variety of articles extracted from magazines from the Toy Fair and Spring Fair which I could use further within my report. Therefore I will dedicate tomorrow to reworking my report, and making it as informative as possible.
