Progress Update

Today I have been working on the ‘to do list’ which I created yesterday. Therefore I will talk you through my progress in relation to this list.

I have checked my emails and rectified the issues with the folders within which I am to present my research. I have now ordered two of these – a primary research folder and a secondary research folder. I have also today been considering how I am to present my time log and I will need to print this out too – would this be suitable for inclusion in a folder too? This area requires more thought.

II have put on my ‘to do’ list today that I must send over the images for the badges. These can be images from both the indoor and outdoor shoot. If I send them over to Carnegie badges then the workers will show me print screens as to what the final outcome will look like – I can then decide whether I wish to proceed with purchasing these badges. I will complete this task tonight before I leave the library.

I have 1.5 spaced my standard format of my essay, and then made sure that all of the text is within the appropriate pages, as opposed to going half over one page and onto the other. I also paginated my report so that the up to the methodology was not numbered, and then the rest of the document was page numbered.

Today I also printed off the marketing report check list and compared these items against the report that I have structured. I concluded that I have successfully included all necessary areas. However, a couple of areas did require more work – for example the vectors, persuasion section, and the measurement of the success of different promotional items. I will work on these either this evening or tomorrow, depending on the amount of time I have left tonight.

My most proud achievement of the day is that I have in fact finished the literature review. I feel that this is to a high standard and actually reflects the structure of an official literature review (the one included within this report is to be a more succinct and concise version due to time restraints). I have also given this to a Wiser advisor to read through and to check for grammar and punctuation. I must collect this on Friday at 12pm, so that is a date for the diary!

I have two key areas to concentrate on today: bibliography (to include all key texts within my research file) and glossary. I must look on the UCLan website for the glossary and ensure that I have integrated key terms within my work and that they are in the correct context. Once I have done this I will update the blog tonight with key tasks and objectives for tomorrow.
