Imagine that you have completed the final revisions on your research proposal and that it has been successful. You are now looking ahead to the process of actually conducting your study and writing up your results. How will you sustain your motivation to complete your study throughout the process? How will you overcome challenges and stay on track? This Shared Activity will enable you to discuss strategies for staying organised, working with your supervisor, anticipating and overcoming difficulties and completing your research project within the allotted time.
