What did I learn about the EPQ process?
I realised that for a successful project it would be better for me to narrow down my question so that I’m not completely overwhelmed. I saw a presentation on how war has affected modern medicine which I was told was originally titled how was has affected modern science. The speaker made it clear that he wouldn’t have been able to complete his project with such a wide topic. For this reason I am certain that I will specify my question about aeronautical medicine. In addition, emailing professors and experts in their fields was highly recommended by the students. Many said they wish they had sent their emails earlier than they had, as it proved to be an invaluable source of information.
I was impressed by the way the students answered their questions after their talk. They obviously had a thorough knowledge of their topic and were able to apply their knowledge in areas where they hadn’t thought of before.
Useful skills that the students had were being able to communicate their points clearly and with confidence. Sometimes they had technical terminology which was difficult to understand for most of the audience, so I think awareness of your audience is also very important.
Reflections for my own project
As i have already written i will narrow down my question with a focus on medicine to make the project more manageable. I want to try to make my presentation as accessible and interesting as I can. I already have ideas with how I’m going introduce my topic. I want my title to be interesting as well, maybe something like: How are we going to keep the Neil Armstrongs of the future alive? But that is still to be decided on.
