Index To help you keep track of evidence, you should start an Index as soon as you collect your first piece of evidence. This should be placed at the front of the Evidence section in your portfolio. As you collect new evidence, it can be added to the Index. This will help when you start to page reference your work on your Evidence Records. You can download a blank Index document here. Portfolio reference numbers You should reference all your evidence, so that it can be easily identified. Keep your reference numbers simple. For instance 1, 2, 3 etc. They can be easily added to later, as each new piece of evidence is generated. Although you should keep every hand-written note and most computer printouts generated during research (annotated to prove how you have carried out the research), be sensible. One annotated draft and one final will be enough, unless there are particular comments that have helped in your development. Recording searches/sources of information You can use a form to record websites and other sources of information/data you've used. You could call this a bibliography or a Search Sheet. You can download a blank Search Sheet here. If all details of websites, books, magazines, etc, are on this sheet, it will help you to remember which are worth visiting/using again, and which are of no use at all. |
