2.2 Critically evaluate the accuracy and reliability of different research methods applied in another brief report. (M2, D1) Evidence required for Task 2: ● The project logbook: This is the collection of your all weekly logs covering the total time period from the handout date to the submission date. If you would be unable to complete any task during any particular week due to an illness or any other reason, you should still produce the weekly log mentioning such reason.

● A brief report for Task 2.2 Task 3 Prepares a professional business report to present the results of your preliminary study.

3.1 Analyse research and data using appropriate tools and techniques. (P5) 3.2 Evaluate the selection of appropriate tools and techniques for accuracy and authenticity to support and justify recommendations. (M3) 3.3 Communicate appropriate recommendations as a result of research and data analysis to draw valid and meaningful conclusions. (P6)

Task 4 Produce a performance review, covering the following.

4.1 Reflect on the value of undertaking the preliminary research to meet stated objectives and own learning and performance. (P7)

4.2 Evaluate the value of the project management process and use of qualitative research to meet stated objectives and support own learning and performance. (M4)

4.3 Critically evaluate and reflect on the success of your project and your own performance in a personal performance review at the end of the project. This is a written reflection of around 500 words. (students will not be penalised if they exceed this word limit). You may use the following template to for your personal performance review. (D2)
