Coursework Guide
- Research Plan
What is it?
Before you start to research information for your project (before designing it), you need to plan what you need to know.
Think about what you need to know, such as cost, what already exists on the market or what materials you could use. I have helped you by giving you the main areas you have to research as page titles but you will need more.
This plan will also took at how you will research this information and why its needed.
Tips?
- Try to be invented in your presentation otherwise everyones will look the same.
- Don't add too many extra research pages - its more work.
- Make sure you have covered everything - look at ACCESS FM.
