Please delete this paragraph. It only acts as a guide for your content and the length of the submission

* The reflective progress report should demonstrate your critical thoughts (why is this topic important for research) about the topic selection (250 to 300 words), literature review done so far (1200-1500 words), and research methodology (700 -1000 words) decided for the research. The reflective progress report is a private document, that will not be seen by anybody else, except the supervisor/subject coordinator. However, if things do not go as planned, use it to note the problem and then try and think of ways to move forward.

Document in concise language, what you have done in the previous week(s) (in and outside meetings with supervisors), and what you are planning to do in the following week. Make sure you comment on your progress in understanding the field as well as on the processes and dynamics.

The writing should be analytical, not simply a narrative of the happenings, and your submission should not exceed the word limit of about 3000 words.

Make sure to provide the references in APA6 style.

You do NOT need to use this document as template. Feel free to write in your own way (in a new word file) but make sure to include the suggested information.

P.S. Reflective progress report can be perceived as a preliminary preparation of your project (research) plan.
