using your results

It's a good idea to organise the information resources you have found, before starting to draft your assignment.

It's up to you to find which system suits you best. Here are a few examples:

Kenjiro, Hospitality student:

"I collect notes and printouts as I search, and copy the details of sources onto one index sheet. Then I put the resources into alphabetical order. When it's time to write up, I can easily find what I require. It works for me!"

Trish, Fine Arts student:

"I sketch a “mind map” * using bubbles and arrows showing how the aspects of the topic relate and where the various information sources fit in. The resources I sort into folders under matching headings. Then I use the mind map to produce an outline of the assignment. It's really easy to get a first draft done."
