5.1: Communicating outcomes:
- Consider the method (e.g. written, verbal) and the medium (e.g. report, online, presentation). Review different forms of communication and choose the most effective for a specific audience and intended outcomes.
- Both method and medium will be influenced by the project research and its intended audience.
5.2: Convincing arguments:
- All findings/outcomes should be convincing and presented logically where the assumption is that the audience has little or no knowledge of the project process.
- Developing evaluative conclusions.
- Evaluate the validity of using data and graphics produced for the project, highlight potential problems and identify improvements.
5.3: Critical and objective analysis and evaluation:
- Secondary and primary data should be critiqued and considered with an objective mind-set.
- Objectivity results in more robust evaluations where an analysis justifies a judgement. Develop key elements (expressing opinion, acknowledging others’ views, providing supporting arguments, showing contrast, reformulating and summarising).
