and secondary documentation/data, time, training, funding, sources of help, access to data and other permissions but don’t be limited by just these or think that they all always apply.
The recommended way of dealing with this is to take your detailed list of tasks that you used to obtain your aim and objectives (no matter how trivial they seem) and just go to each task in turn and ask what resources are need to complete it.
Common errors - these are mainly to do with students not thinking a project through from tasks to resources so one often finds that students only mention getting access to literature and to data as if nothing else is needed. It is also common to see a student just write down what he will do and so avoid answering the question altogether.
There is also a contextualization issue, one needs to be sure that as you read the list that it supports the project as unfortunately many students will just copy examples or just use the list of headings above mechanically and this implies that no serious thought has been expended. What we are looking for is a considered list of resources and poor students will just want an answer that sounds as if it’s ‘right.’ However here is a reasonable example provided by a student.

Q6a/b Evaluation
How will you evaluate your project outcome (before it is used) and research practice (Max 200 words)
Testing and Evaluation - Recall that at the proposal stage, no project work has been done and no outcome is available therefore students are providing a plan of how evaluation will be done. There are two aspects:
Evaluate or Test your Outcome - map out what must be done to test the outcome when you finally get it but BEFORE it is used – it follows that project outcome evaluation is in most cases a paper exercise.
Evaluate or Test your Practice – students hopefully will have a plan of what must be done, the methods and approach to be employed. So here students must say how they will reflect on the various choices made; a plan for evaluating project practice AFTER it has been carried them out.
Finally, the evaluation is done BEFORE the project document is finalised by
