Plans for the possible title for the essay

So I have decided that my EPQ will take the shape of a dissertation style essay. Now I need to decide on the title.

As when discussed with my EPQ co-ordinator, the title could be a statement or a question which is then debated/answered through analysis of the research I have carried out. Also it has to have an evaluative bibliography.

I hope to use this link by the University of Southampton as a guide to writing a dissertation style essay:

One of the most important things is to have the evidence to support each of the Assessment Objectives (posted on 17/10/13). For this I could use my:

  • Transcript of my interviews (with the doctor I shadowed during my work experience and also other people)
  • any e-mails exchanged with experts
  • notes taken (during work experience/shadowing)
  • acquiring new skills
  • evidence of overcoming obstacles
  • new skills learnt
  • the "journey" towards the final product (this blog)
  • reflections at every step
  • all research undertaken
We were all given the following mark scheme by our co-ordinator to use as guidelines to bring all the components of our project together:

  1. I have since changed the direction of my project. I would like to produce a report advising a governing body about the conditions of the healthcare and how improvements could be made. Also as an extension I will be advising them on the likely effectiveness of the each of the improvements by weighing up the possible pros and cons of each. I will be including parts of transcripts of my interviews with a few doctors and include their opinions on these changes.

    I will be including a detailed plan of each part of my report..
