• justify changes in the problem domain by reflecting on findings from
• compose a new or refined view of the problem domain (i.e. give a new
problem domain description);
• Outline a new research method/approach and deliverables if applicable.
Changes in project objectives should also be discussed.
• If the problem domain changes, you should state any new objectives.
• However, if there are no changes in the problem domain, you may still have to change your project objectives, e.g. problems encountered and action taken may trigger project objective changes. Consequently, you should state new or refined objectives and briefly justify them.
Note that your supervisor must agree with all the changes mentioned in this section.
III. Explain and justify the method/methodology/approach that you are adopting. THUR/29TH/NOV
• Describe your chosen methodological approach to problem solving.
• description of your approach should reflect upon all the activities undertaken to date, together with a breakdown of all the products you intend to deliver in the future.
• You also need to demonstrate awareness of available approaches and justify
appropriately your choice.
IV. Explain and justify the software/tools that you will use. FRI/30TH/NOV

• Reflect upon your schedule for all the activities described in the approach,
together with deadlines for the completion of each phase of your work.
• You should utilise appropriate software, e.g. Microsoft Project, to demonstrate your schedule.
VI. Discuss issues related to project management to date. SAT/1ST/DEC
• Discuss matters that have arisen as a result of your project management
such as achieving milestones, organising research, meeting deadlines and other
relevant issues.
• The discussion should be made in view of the problems
encountered, their solutions and actions undertaken which address these problems.
Problems may be technical problems, lack of communication with clients, problems
detected when applying methodology/approach in their research, difficulties in
academic writing, obstacles emerging from the problem domain, difficulties in
obtaining literature needed or other relevant issues.
• If you are sure there have been no problems in your work, you should write on your reflection on the success in research and in achieving project objectives, which need no refinement or changes.
• You should reflect on your solutions that have been or will be applied in order to address the problems stated. You should also state both previous action(s) and any future activities that have to be taken in order to implement solutions.
VII. Evaluate your progress against the planned work to date. /2ND/3RD 4TH /DEC
• As you have continued working on your project you will have monitored your progress closely against your schedule. This will involve identifying any issues relating to your individual research/work
• and comparing your original plan(s) as set out in your PID against your progress and analysing any discrepancies.
(You might also reflect on results of your individual research/work by briefly outlining –
all activities, deliverables and written parts of their project that are finalised) .
VIII. Discuss and provide evidence for the progress claimed to date. 5TH/ 6TH/ 7TH /DEC
You should discuss and reflect as well as prove with evidence your way of:
??Organising and conducting your research/work;
??Achieving milestones defined earlier as stated in your PIDs or in any other
documents such as emails;
??Meeting deadlines, which were agreed with your supervisor.
(Including some of the main interim results may provide the evidence for the above.
For example, a piece of prototype that has been developed, or analysis of some
