Go to SIT library to see how past high grade earners have done their documentation

In the workbook:
As an appendix of annotated practice will provide a visual archive or collation of practice which reveals research projects critical and rigorous thinking in and through practice.   Documentations structure, content and overall coherency needs to be considered in conjunction with written dissertation.

Documentation should provide sense of journey in projects questioning including phases an key points in project.  Phases and key points should be precisely discussed in brief annotations that accompany the visual record.  These should make concise references to key theoretical, contextual and technical investigations that inform, support and drive the projects questioning as articulated in the dissertation.

While mainly a visual record, there should be evidence, through notations and organisation of content of reflective practice and the use of active documentation processes.
