 Planning and Development

Students should be aware that it is essential to define a clear goal before starting detailed research and work.  A goal can be defined as a statement, or one or more key questions, which identify the focus of the personal project. The goal may alter during the course of the personal project but students need to state and explain clearly the reason(s) for a change in goal. Evidence of students' achievement in this criterion will be found in the Personal Project Plan
