ABSTRACT
If the readers are devising and running their own practical work in psychology, good luck! It is highly satisfying to complete a project that was their own initial idea and that they have followed through to the presentation stage; it usually feels a whole lot more fulfilling than simply writing up a practical set by their tutor. However, beware! They really don’t want to find themself running a project with hopeless snags, completely inappropriate design or gathering useless data. So read this chapter, other relevant sections and always consult with your tutors before getting too far. There is no way around the fact that you need to immerse yourself in reading before finalising your idea.
