Literature reviews

A Literature Review - reviews the literature. It is like standing in the library and saying "these shelves are books and journals on aspects of xxxx", "these shelves are by people who have xxx perspective". It is not about one or two books. A Literature Review overviews what is out there and gives you a context for where you stand. It then helps you with how you analyse.

Listening

Module Ones - As you have been thinking about RPL (areas of learning essays) it seems like ti would be time to talk to your Advisor about your ideas before you start writing one.

Thinking about research methods - this video gives a sense of the privilege it is to have people talk to us about their ideas. As you design your inquiry in Module Two or as you are carry out Module Three be reflective. They are not there to answer your questions, you are there to witness and respect their experiences. Then analysis the experience to better inform your own questions.
