have already done it. So it's like, Is that past tense? Or it's what we will done well work really in the future. So it depends on the brief. So if it doesn't a brief right, it's study proposal or a topic guide for a study. It means that you're proposing the study. It hasn't happened. So you're right in the present to all future. We will do that. We will ask these questions. We are planning to use this methodology, but honestly, if the most important thing is that you pick a tense and be consistent with it. So if you write it all in the past tense, just write it all in the past tense. If you choose present tense, just make sure it's the same across because they don't really care which sense user use. It's more about the consistency. Does that make sense? Yeah, Okay, thank you. And about the again the same part for the interview Like, um, they asked us to give, like example, questions like, Do you know around? How many do they expect? So what's what's the brief about? Do you mind just telling me what the what? The main question is for the qualitative park. Um, it is to find out the how the, you know they wore in northeast Syria and how that affect, like, the mothers of Children younger than five. Okay. And, uh, they want you to write a proposal or a topic guy. Uh, they asked us to write, like, a message session. And in that message session, they require us to write like it. What are meth methods are, which I suppose should be like interview for qualitative. Okay, but okay, so they're not asking for a full topic. I they just want a few example questions. Okay, so three or four would be enough. If so, essentially, they're asking you for the method you would use for the study because it sounds slightly different from what we had for us state holders to write a study proposal for a qualitative study about, like, the experiences of people seeking healthcare in Syria. So I'm assuming they just change the topic. So if it's the same thing, you just need a few example questions. So three or four don't put too many because they don't need to see everything. Just a few open questions. Um, just make sure, like the questions aren't leading. They're very easy to understand. They don't like double questions. So don't ask them. What is your experience with this and why? Just separate them, Make sure you're only asking one thing. Okay. And should I put the questions in the appendix or it's in the main body, I think you need to check what the brief says for us. They said the question should go in a text box in the actual, like in the actual proposal. So just double check. Actually, I think it might be better just to put it in the main body of the right out because some markers don't look at the appendix. I think they only look at the appendix of the quantitative part because that's where you talk about your data cleaning. But for their asked if anything is important, just put it in the main thing. Just put in a text box, okay? In the main thing. But I would ask Shahm or Florence. I think they would know best what to do with what? The word count. Whether to use a text, books or appendix. Okay. Yeah. Thank you. And also about the data for, like, the first part for your data clean. And you mentioned that I can put it in the appendix so it wouldn't count as, like words of that. Yeah. So, essentially, just it's not really appendix. Just after you answer all the questions. Just text folks. And you just try what you did for the data cleaning. Uh, okay. But because it comes at the end of the section, and that's when the appendix come. That's why they might look at the appendix in the quantitative part. But for the rest of it, just don't rely on them reading the appendix. Sure. Okay. All right. Thank you. No worries. Are you okay with the article on the policy brief? Well, I haven't go through that, but basically, yes, but like, I think for the media article, Is it supposed to be like is not the same as the lay summary at was, like, mentioned earlier? I think so. You need to make sure it's written in lay lay terms, and it makes sense to the average reader. Essentially, you need to make it sound, like, really an article, so make sure if you pick the guardian, I think in my The guardian was very common. Just make sure your article, like, in terms of the length of sentence, is how big the paragraphs are. Just make sure it's like that, because for me, my paragraphs are a bit shorter, and they were like, this is more of a BBC article than the Guardian. And because you've picked the guardian, we're gonna mark you down just because it doesn't look like a I'm just trying to get to the I c A. Would you would that be helpful? Hi. Sorry. I think my microphone was not working just now. I didn't hear anything. Yeah, I just want to ask about the last bit that you mentioned after you mentioned about the can. You see. Can you see my screen? Can you see the writer? Okay. You want to see that? Let me zoom out of it when I see part. First part is just writing this second part, so Yeah, this is my article. So I've had pictures and things. Just make sure it looks like an article. Um, yeah, but that's my policy. Uh, the policy brief was the most fun part. That's the one I enjoyed the most Yeah, that's how I did it. It was just very simple. So for the data that is used for the policy brief, should I take it from the first part? Yeah. So that's what I did. I took one of my grafts from the first part and annotated it, and they like that. They like, uh, one of my friends. What they did is they did took this paragraph. Do you see the one point do this one? And they just literally cook annotated it and explain the timeline. And they put that in their policy brief. And then there are article, and they like that. Okay, so do you see how I just explained? Like what the peak means and what the drop means? What they did is they did that in more detail, and they just put it, like in a big section with their policy brief and article. Yeah, but yeah, you should something should you should find something you should find, like with the first section. And you should find something as, um like, I don't know, like there might be a potential break out of, like, a disease, one form of disease for us. I think it was respiratory syndromes. And basically, you try to tackle that on your policy brief, and you report on that in your article. Mm. Okay. Do you have any other questions? Hmm. Not now. Thank you so much. Nor is if if you have any more questions or even if you'd like some feedback, you can email. You can send me, drop me an email, and I can have a look for you, if that's helpful. Um, so my my email is literally my first name dot My last name 18 at Imperial. I'll just put it in the chart. Yeah. You should have my email on the chart. If you have any more questions, you just want me to have a look at any parts of the right up. Just drop me an email, and I try to help. When is it you, uh, before 16th of December? Okay. You've got time, then. Yeah, this like this. Try this. This, I say, was really was one of the worst ones for our year. Just the marking. They thought we were masters students. They were very harsh with the marking. I mean, the marking is not really great to prefer and more for you. Yeah. So I think this year they're trying to make it fairer and more like better. But for us, no one, like, got a good mark for this one. And we were just really confused. And it turns out that the the external markers thought that we were all master's students. They were marking us to a master's standard instead of a B SC. So literally loads of people got marked down so low just because of that. But yeah, if you don't have any more questions, feel free to leave. You don't need to stay. This ends up a Let me double check on this and's um yes. So this ends at 8. 15 if you don't have. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask them If you can't think of any now, you can email me, but yeah, good luck. Hopefully it'll go. Well, hi. I think my microphone is not working again. Um uh, I was just asking about the reflexivity thing on the Yeah. One b. Qualitative. Yeah. Do you know what does that mean for having like reflexivity? Yeah. So foreign qualitative research. It's important to think about your position as a researcher and how that affects the participants and the research. So that's what Reflexivity. Is getting, Uh, so basically, they want you to think about how you, as a researcher from Imperial College, how that positioning that privilege and basically your scientific background, how that is gonna make How is that going to affect first apartment that you're interviewing? So you said there are mothers 100 5 years old in northeast Syria, so think about how that's gonna affect them. How is that going to affect how you ask them questions? Your relationship with them, how you approach them, whether how, for example, whether asking them about their experience of that conflict is that going to re traumatize them and then think about how you as a researcher, researcher from Imperial College, researching Syria, how is that going to look, for example, you as an external researcher from Europe, coming to a conflict zone and researching just try to reflect on that and then think is that good for the research? Is that bad? Or we just need to be aware of it basically and make sure you write it in the first person So I am X Y Z. This is how my position will affect this or without. Okay. All right. Thank you. Basically, it sounds a bit vague, but for reflexivity, as long as you you just show them that you're aware of that your background as a researcher or your background as a person is having an impact on the research in the on the study or, for example, you can say so. For example, if you're a refugee yourself, you can say I'm a refugee. We have kind of a shared background. Therefore, this might help connecting with the participants. Or you can say, for example, I've I mean, you shouldn't make things up, but this is true for you. You can say, for example, if I've experienced some conflict somewhere else. Therefore, I understand what it's like, uh, experience a conflict. So then I can connect with prostate. It's a bit more. Or, for example, I've experienced conflict. So that makes me biased. Because this might affect how I look at the results. Okay. Does that make sense? Yeah. Okay. Good. Um, I think I'm gonna grow now, then. Okay. Thank you so much. No worries. You're welcome. Good luck.
