hey! (thanks for the tag
@TriplexA )
the first few meetings with my supervisor were quite boring as it’s mainly brainstorming ideas for your EPQ and picking different titles for the project, they’re not allowed to choose the title for you so they can only subtly suggest the one they think would be better to do !!
once you’ve picked your title, it gets much more interesting !! you need to do some research into your chosen topic, and remember to evaluate all the different sources that you chose, e.g was a it a reliable source of information, how many years ago was that written, could it use updating, has it been peer checked, etc.
You would then bring that research // whatever you’ve been up to, to your supervisor in your next meeting where they would give you suggestions on how you could improve it and then help you plan your next steps. You need to have a log, which you should be given by your supervisor anyway, where you write down your progress during your meetings. Remember to place an emphasis on the “I” though, don’t keep saying “my supervisor suggested” or “my supervisor had the idea to”, etc otherwise it’ll sound like you didn’t do much work !!! You can try phrase it like “At our meeting, my supervisor said i could try to improve my sources of information, and this led me to the idea of conducting a primary research survey with my peers”.
so basically your supervisor is there to lightly guide you through the project, give suggestions and point out areas of improvement (which you need to record
without making it sound as if they came up with all the ideas !!).
hope this helps and good luck with your EPQ !
