Beware of isolating or ‘orphaning’ the method by writing a well argued\u00a0method chapter but\u00a0then making only passing reference to methods\u00a0in subsequent chapters. It is easy to get excited by the fieldwork or studies and to overlook the importance of making\u00a0detailed reports and research journal entries during the course of those studies.<\/p>\n
This is a common mistake during the progress of\u00a0arts and interdisciplinary PhD research and is revealed in early drafts\u00a0of chapters that detail the studies. Practice writing\u00a0up how you have used theories and methods in your practical work and field work. Do this as you go along. Connect the method to the the practice explicitly. Show the examiner how you\u00a0used the method, step by step.<\/p>\n
Weak method, or weak application of method is also often cited as the reason that academic grant proposals are rejected. It may also contribute to\u00a0why curators and commissioning bodies don’t feel confident in supporting art proposals. You need to show that you know ‘how’.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
