My extensive research into my EE topic has been completed which allowed me to focus on finishing the written aspect of the essay. My method of conducting research has remained largely unchanged, although I have organized my materials to allow me to make comparisons between historians in a more convenient manner. This allows me to collate all relevant information needed to analyse the historiography available. Additionally, I have added some analysis next to my research notes, to remember why I wrote those specific notes. My understanding of the research process has shifted slightly. I realized that not all research needed to necessarily be directly quoted within the essay, some could simply be utilized as contextual knowledge. Although not all of my research is directly added into the essay, every extra piece of contextual knowledge enhances my ability to provide meaningful analysis. Overall, the development of my essay has been progressing efficiently.
