Narrow it down
A good research question is specific enough to answer in 4,000 words with evidence you can actually get. If your question needs a book to answer, narrow it.
✍️
Write the question, then ask: what evidence would answer this? If you can’t list it, rewrite the question.
Use your reflections
Your reflection sessions with your supervisor are assessed. Keep notes after each meeting so the reflections show how your thinking changed.
