Campus session 2

During the campus session last wednesday we participated in an exercise where we went through the requirements for our Critical Review by explaining what information we would put in each section (Introduction, Evaluation and Analysis) to the group with everyone else taking notes. This was an extremely helpful exercise as you realise exactly what points you should be making for each section and from the notes others made, you can see what information specific to your inquiry should be made. 

Some notes that might be helpful...

Introduction: 

• Include your main aims and objectives.
• A small description of your professional practice, so the reader can see where you fit into your inquiry.
• Inquiry questions.
• Highlight why your inquiry is important to others. 
• If you are using words throughout your inquiry that have a broad meaning e.g Culture, define it as how you wish it to be interpreted. 

Evaluation:

• Main Events- what you’ve learnt.
• Ethics: The impact of the tools you’ve used and there limitations.
• Ethics: Explain where you, you’re knowledge, position and experience fit into your inquiry and how people experience you.
• Reference the literature that has informed your inquiry.
• Refer to blogs.

Analysis:

To form analysis it might be helpful to use this triangle: 

                                         Data

 Literature                                                                  Your experience

The collection of these three elements together form your analysis.
