As my project continues- i am finding the volume of research and literature failry over wheling..however i have a tecnique that could be useful to others to help as a filter. So i find my research as a hard copy (printed/written etc) and highlight the main blocks of information that i see as relevant.
I then use a word document and go through each highlighted section; bullet pointing the information in my own SHORT words as well as my oppinions on the information.
I have found that filtering my resources in this way not only allows me to find the relevance in my research but also to comment allong the way. Using the various tools to do this stops me from coming complaicent/ passive in my working.
I hope this can be helpful...if anybody else has any tips let me know!
Emma - this sounds like a good way to monitor progress. It is good to be specific about this information and emerging findings - providing content as well as context to your reviews and updates.
