Week 15.

The final piece of work should demonstrate that the student has:

- Planned and executed their own shall research project;

- Selected an appropriate research method and research question;

- Made methodological choices as appropriate for their chosen media specialism;

- Communicated their research findings in an appropriate and engaging manner; 

Journalism, Media & Cultural Studies. 

This project has to relate to my course however, I can chose my research method. 

I can present the final piece as either an essay, magazine page, feature article, newspaper article, press release, visual essay or presentation. This needs to be appropriate for the type of research question i'm going for linking with my knowledge of field of degree.
