As EE Day comes to an end, I realise just how significant it was for my EE process since it directed me towards the starting line of my EE – incidentally, which is something I find extremely challenging to do on my own. Prior to today, I did not have a concise and specific research question, which I found quite a huge deterrent in my research process because it was very easy for me to get “bogged down”, as Ms Wilson (my supervisor) puts it, into information that isn’t required of my essay. Although my new research question (which is not yet completely decided either) came into being due to a meeting with Ms Wilson, I am most proud of this because it allows me to start my EE writing. I find this significant because so far, all my research seemed to abstract for my main issue; so many different aspects of one broad question hindered me from looking into my main issue. When this is put in conjunction with my newfound information on the Global Politics EE, specifically the requirements of the EE criteria as well as having access to exemplars to understand the structure of the EE, makes me feel confident going forward to writing my first 1,000 words. As the EE process reaches its next step, I will be focusing on assembling research (and definitely doing some more) and analysing it through a critical lens of the key concepts/theoretical foundations provided by the Global Politics course.
Thank you!
