What makes a successful project? (taught session)

19/06/13
Key Objectives:

  1. To develop understanding of the EPQ process
  2. To understand how students can research for their project
  3. To begin to developing project titles 
How to start research for project:
We need to record our project in a structured manner, that can be easily navigated when writing the 5000 word report. An example of how to undertake research is to use a Project task list/ Gannt chart. 

What makes a good title?
Needs to be in the form of a question or statement with clear limits so report is writable. E.g. the question 'Who was the greatest Prime Minister of Britain?' is too broad, and therefore unanswerable. The question 'How does the work of Richard Swinburne challenge the views of David Hume?'could also be narrowed further, maybe citing a specific work.
