Prepare an analytical memo (1000 words) presenting my reflections on the process. The memo should reflect on my personal/professional background and experiences that I brought to the process and how the process has enlightened/affected my understanding of the issue being explored. The memo should outline my input in the process, my expectations and concerns about any aspect of the process and the initial findings. Students make specific comments about how they might be adjusting their initial ideas as the process continues.
The memo will also reflect initial reflections on the significance of the initial findings, the student’s understanding of what the findings seem to indicate and his/her reflections on the research question in light of the initial findings. The memo should reference the initial research problem and how the student’s involvement in the research process has now shed light on key issue and concerns in regard to the problem.
