You'll all have your marked drafts of your investigation back today. As you are only entitled to one draft, you now need to work on all feedback given (some of you only handed in 300-700 words, so you have a lot of catching up to do) and ensure that it is all completed and up to scratch.
The final piece that is missing is the conclusion in which you evaluate your findings and decide whether or not these have proven your hypothesis. Some general advice:
Conclusion/Evaluation:
- check it is tentative and that you have mentioned problems with generalisability, reliability etc despite your careful methodology
- link back to quantified data and theory to evaluate how far your hypothesis is supported (tentatively!)
- contextualise speculatively considering any contact that might have affected the data e.g. age, dialect, social group etc.
- what would you need to make a more effective investigation? e.g. more data, more focussed hypothesis, another section/technique etc.
- don't be self-critical but do be evaluative of the investigation
Final deadline for the finished investigation: FIRST MONDAY BACK AFTER HALF TERM
