I have various ideas and I need to do some research to help decide on exactly what I should do. I am mainly interested in doing something relating to the mind as this has been the most interesting thing I have studied this year at school. |\n| 8/10/2012 | We have had a session in the library and I have had my first tutorial with Mr Smith. He advised me that I have to choose a specific question for my project. I was thinking I could use the title ‘What is the mind?’ but this seems to be too broad. He advised me to do some research online to find out what topics people are arguing about. |\n| 16/10/2012 | We have just had a lesson where the whole structure of the project has been explained to us. This has been really helpful and I have started to fill in my project proposal form, even though I’ve still not made up my mind about my title. I’m getting a bit worried about this as other people seem to know exactly what they are doing. Over half-term I shall try to find some books and articles to get some more ideas. |\n| 23/10/2012 | I found a really useful website called ‘closer to truth’ which has interviews with lots of scientists and philosophers. I’ve been watching several of the talks about consciousness. I think that I could focus on the question of the mind/ body problem. I’ve looked on Amazon for books written by some of the people in the interviews and I’ve ordered a book. I’ve now finished my project proposal form. I’ve also ordered the student guide for the EPQ. |\n| 2/11/2012 | Mr Smith looked at my project proposal form. He said that I needed to explain the reasons for my choice of project more fully and also that I needed to put in a more detailed plan. I’ve tried todo this based on the outline of the different sections of the project which we were given. On the Edexcel website there is a useful voice-over presentation. The examiner goes on a bit but I found the section on the literature review really useful. I’ve started researching and making notes and I’m keeping my bibliography up-to-date. |\n\nEdexcel Project Qualifications – Activity Log Issue 1 – September 2008  \n| Date | \u003Cbr>Comments |\n| --- | --- |\n| 9/11/2012 | I am starting to lose my way with the literature review. I’ve found lots of websites and also areview article and I really don’t know which bits I’m supposed to be including. Next week we are all having a trip to our local university where the librarian has offered to help us. I’m hoping this will help me get back on track. I’ve managed to make a few more notes but not much more. |\n| 15/11/2012 | The visit to the university was really helpful. They did a session for us explaining what a literature review is. Apparently the key thing is to tell the story of the main ideas behind your project. I’ve decided to organise mine around different theories and look at how they developed historically. I checked this with Mr Smith and he thought it was a good idea. I’ve actually made a plan for the literature review and am now organising all the notes I’ve made to work out what fits where.
