EE

On 26th of November I had my EE Viva Voce meeting with my supervisor. The EE writing process had a lot of ups and downs for me, as I was constantly having problems with data collection, however, after changing my research questions many times my final one was really good. When I was able to develop a RQ that I would be able to develop was a big success for me. Throughout the process, I changed my strategies many times, until I discovered a writing method that really efficient for me, and that after I discovered I used for other written assignments. I believe if I was able to formulate my final RQ in the earlier stages would have made the entire process much easier and smooth, and I would have better chances of more accurate feedback from my supervisor. Lastly, my EE made me interested in researching the same topic more in depth in the future.

On August 27th, I had my second reflective meeting on my EE, to get feedback on my first draft. During the break before the first submission, I had to change my research question, however, I didn’t know how to do it so I had to write the essay the best way I could following an idea I had in mind. Therefore, the rc2 was essential to help me understand how I should fix my essay and RQ.  I had written a descriptive essay with little analysis, but after the meeting, I understood what were my next steps to fix it, as well as, had a better understanding of the kind of research and analysis I should be doing in order to answer my RQ. I was able to formulate my research question, in such a way I wouldn’t need to do a lot of extra research, just rewrite the essay in a more analytical format.

Today I learnt the next steps I should take in order to start my EE and do it properly. Now I got a better understanding of what a Business EE looks like and what kind of information we should include in it. After one of the presentations, it opened my mind to the different options of resources I had. In addition, with the MLA presentations it help me think how I can organise my work so later I don’t have problems. I’m proud that now I’ve achieved a point where I can start putting my research together in other to start writing my EE.

In order to develop the outline of my EE, I first spoke to one of the persons I will be interviewing as a primary source to get a better understanding of the topic, after doing that and the meeting that all students doing business EE had together, I was able to develop the outline. Afterwards, had a second meeting with Mr Steele in order to improve it and make it more adequate. After this meeting I started to face some problems as I started to think what ways I could get my primary sources and how useful and reliable they would be. In addition, the person I’m going to interview informed me that she will be leaving at the beginning of summer break. At first I wasn’t understanding how the EE would look like and what kind of information I should have but now I’m more aware of it and I’m thinking of best sources I could get.
