How to Get Loads of Marks

Ep 09: Iro Konstantinou - How to start a research project


Listen Later

Iro Konstantinou heads up research at Pearson College, as well as being heavily involved in research herself.  Personally she is also one of the people who helped me when I made the shift from business to teaching.  She is a master of research methods.  

Since a lot of students will be taking on big projects this term, we talk about how best to start, how to pick a topic and how to get loads of marks in projects where you choose the subject matter yourself.
