# Documenting the process

![](/files/-MaokGrgJbFkI7A3WGYu)

{% hint style="info" %}
Students are required to document their process and will use this documentation as evidence in their report.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

They might choose to use a digital, physical journal, combination or they might choose to document their work somewhere else, for example on a digital document or blog.  They can also add journal entries on [ManageBac](https://www.managebac.com/).

{% hint style="success" %}
The documentation should include a range of tools and media types, not just reflective entries.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

This might include photographs, videos, sketches, experiments, mind maps, brainstorms, interviews, research plans, graphs, charts and other methods.
