Remember, they are there to help you develop strong **research and communication skills**. They can also help you to: 

* plan a [**timeline**](https://app.gitbook.com/@faria-education-group/s/cp-reflective-project/timeline)
* devise a well-formulated and focused **research question**
* advise you on appropriate **citing and referencing**
* suggest **research methods** and sources. 

Finally, they will ensure the reflective project is all your own work and will **verify its authenticity** to the IB.

It is **your responsibility** to meet internal and external **deadlines**, address the **assessment criteria** and acknowledge all your **sources**.

Your supervisor is **not** permitted to proofread your work, or correct information, spelling or grammar.
