	* I decided to go through this MOOC because I felt that fine art practice-as-research still hasn't prepared me sufficiently for doing the more focused, academic historical research I wanted to do. Reading people's work at different stages of their formulation, some of them at a painfully early stage and very general level, was helpful as it reminded me once again about the issue of scope and what constitutes an acceptable scope for research at different academic levels (undergrad, postgrad, doctorate).		* I decided to go through this MOOC because I felt that fine art practice-as-research still hasn't prepared me sufficiently for doing the more focused, academic historical research I wanted to do.

		+	* There is a well-known adage called Sturgeon’s Law, which states something similar to ‘90% of everything is rubbish.’ The American science fiction writer and critic, Theodore Sturgeon coined this adage in defence of science fiction, which was often derided for its low quality by its critics. Sturgeon argued that all other fields had similar levels of low quality material. You gotta filter out the shieeeeeeeeeet.

		+	#A claim refers to the writer's opinion or position regarding the matter being written about. This is not factual but debatable and so needs to be argued.
		+	#Data relates to the evidence that is used by the writer to support their claim. This may be factual or contain reference to specific examples.
		+	#Justification refers to the writer's interpretation of the facts or circumstances. It links the data with the claim in the argument.

	* For several years I have been interested in cargo manifests, lists from archaeological digs, and museum inventories - commonly archived material documents that are mainly concerned with documenting the physical aspects of objects, artefacts, or pieces of cargo which may be in transit. These manifests exist in order to provide a practical guide for the visual identification of a physical object, and taken at face value, these manifests may seem to lack depth. But when activated by human eyes, these lists offer an opportunity for a range of readings, which can be used as the starting point for artistic speculations on the histories and geographies.		* For several years I have been interested in cargo manifests, lists from archaeological digs, and museum inventories - commonly archived material documents that are mainly concerned with documenting the physical aspects of objects, artefacts, or pieces of cargo which may be in transit.
