|
||

|
||
and how does its research environment align with your aspirations?
|
||
- What is the central question, problem, or hypothesis driving your research,
|
||
and how does it connect to Falmouth’s research strengths?
|
||
- What do you hope to uncover, challenge, or contribute through your
|
||
research?
|
||
- Which prior work – whether theoretical, creative, or methodological – do
|
||
you consider significant in shaping your research area?
|
||
- What key challenges do you anticipate in your research, and how do you plan
|
||

|
||
- What previous work in your chosen or related field are you particularly
|
||
proud of, and how does it inform your research direction?
|
||
- What research methods do you propose to use (e.g. qualitative,
|
||
quantitative, mixed methods), and why are they suited to your project?
|
||
- What ethical considerations are relevant to your research, particularly in
|
||
relation to Falmouth’s emphasis on creative and critical inquiry?
|
||

|
||
- What technical skills (e.g. research methods, software, languages) will you
|
||
need to develop to support your research?
|
||
- If your project is practice-based, how does your creative or professional
|
||

* Potential Supervisor Meeting Notes
|
||
- The main PhD question is: to what extent is intervention better than no
|
||
intervention.
|
||
- I need to articulate the variable. What does better mean?
|
||
- Avoid kids interacting with AI. It's just bad ethically.
|
||
- The main goal is to articulate how we're responding to the gap.
|
||
- What could be our novel contribution is scalability of teaching support.
|
||
- Otherwise cover all the points on the original message.
