Weaknesses

In any investigation there are parts of the study that are less successful and that went badly.  Think about the parts of your investigation that have been not so good, and try to explain why.

In this part of the evaluation, you are identifying the strategies that didn't work, the results that did not agree with the theory, the presentation techniques that were troublesome and all the other negative things that have happened as a consequence of your investigation.

You should try to justify these in the context of your investigation as well as in the wider field of Geography.

Weaknesses can be found in your sampling strategies, your methods of acquiring information, your statistical analyses, and your conclusions.  They can also come from your management of the process of the investigation (especially if you are completing the Extended Project).

 

Task

For each aim, identify at least one weakness and explain why it can be considered as a problem within part of your investigation.
