I had a review with Nigel to go over my topic, question, and general progress so far. I didn’t have the full literature review written yet, but I had about 8–9 sources ready that I’d been working with, and he went through them with me.
He said the topic and question are solid and that I should definitely continue with it, which was really reassuring. It gave me more confidence to move forward, especially since I’ve been focusing a lot on building a strong direction. He encouraged me to read a bit more, just to expand the research base, but overall he seemed happy with the choices I’d made so far.
I also showed him the names of the chapters I had in mine and he went through them and suggested a few changes as well as omissions. Having my key sources and chapter names approved made me feel like I’m on track. The feedback helped me narrow my focus even more, and now I know what to improve and expand on next.
