PIP chapter 1 (1 Viewer)

I was wondering if at the beginning of your chapter one you are supposed to restate your introduction?

I dont mean rewrite the whole thing, but you mention again what your topic if about and what your chapters will be able. That type of thing.

In short, no. The Introduction is not an intro to your central material, its a introduction to your PIP as a whole including the processes, methodologies, concepts etc.

Ok, because im being told by my teacher that i need to rewrite my intro at the start of chapter one. She said that I need to pretend that the person reading my PIP hasnt read my intorduction. So if i rewrite my intro in the 1st chap. then they will understand what they are reading.

You really shouldn't be repeating the same things over, this is as the info you put in your Introduction does not belong in the Central Material, they serve completely different purposes. By doing this you would be wasting space in your Central Material and it would not look good.

By all means briefly re-introduce you're thesis as a starting point before you get stuck into your focus questions, but if you began to talk about how you came up with your thesis, what methodologies you decided on and why etc (all things that belong in the introduction and log) you would just be demonstrating that you don't understand how the project is meant to be set out.

I was actually arguing with my teacher about what she was saying. It didnt sound right, and i just wanted to get someone else's opinion. Thank you
