Where do I start?
Step 1: Planning
Think about how much time you have available until submission.
Think about all of the tasks which need to be completed.
Write a provisional Gantt chart to plan and track your progress.

Step 2: The Question
Start by brainstorming ideas for your question.
Ideally it would be something which interested you and something which has a lot you can discuss.
It has to be a question which involves evaluating and discussing, therefore if there is ab obvious answer it will not work.
It also cannot be descriptive, it must involve discussion and different points of view.
The best questions cover a range of disciplines i.e. religion, ethics, science, economics etc.
Finally you must base your report on sources so do not choose a question with only limited sources relating to it.

Step 3: The Project Proposal Form
This is an essential document which is marked to show good planning among other things. You must start attempting to complete this- your supervisor will give you the opportunity to redraft it before submission.
It will also help you to ensure that you have fully considered the project that you are undertaking.
Step 4: Sources
Start collating research sources.
The aim is to have at least 20 different sources which collectively represent at least 5 different types.
You must then make sure that you organize these into an order which reflects the line of argument you are taking in your project to make sure that they are all relevant.
Finally you should analyse and record details of the reliability of each source.
