- 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 to address them?
- 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?
- Which disciplinary field(s) does your research engage with, and how will your project contribute to existing knowledge within these areas?
- What technical skills (e.g. research methods, software, languages) will you need to develop to support your research?

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.
