Researching for your undergraduate philosophy dissertation/independent project
This session will help with one of the key elements of carrying out a dissertation or independent project - doing independent research to discover the views of other researchers on your topic. We will look at: the kinds of information you might want to find, the most appropriate places to search for it, the best approach to searching, and how to manage the information you are finding. You will have a chance to try out some searches, ask questions, and form a constructive plan for conducting the research for your project.
It's expected that all those doing a dissertation or independent project will attend this workshop.
