Supervisory Meeting for Nothando Ngwenya on the 19th of March 2007 at 11:15am in Paul Kingston’s Office
Present: NN, PK, SM
1) We had a discussion on the feedback we received for the RDC1 proposal. Overall the results were not too bad. Few changes were requested as follows:-
· To include the key theoretical contribution to the aims.
· To appropriately reference the methodological discussion.
· To link the aim and objectives to the expected outcome of the project.
· The number of participants anticipated for the research.
2) The response or changes to the RDC1 have to be submitted by Wednesday the 11th of April 2007 for Chair’s action
3) We then discussed the Independent Peer Review which was a bit disappointing as the ethics application was deferred and has to be submitted again. Some of the points/ issues brought up for change or clarification were as follows:
· Why the research is using weblogs, their relevance?
· What forms of weblogs will be utilised?
· Why are the three separate groups being used for the research?
· What aspects of the weblogs might be examined?
· Direction of interviews and questionnaires – what areas they will cover?
4) The response or changes to the Independent Peer Review (IPR) will be resubmitted and the next meeting is on Wednesday the 4th of April 2007
5) I was then advised to continue reading on the philosophy of research for the method chapter.
Things to do by next meeting
1) Make the necessary changes and re-submit the RDC1 and Independent Peer Review.
2) Continue reading on the philosophy of social research.
