+* synthesising information
+  - this means how to put ideas into a logical argument
+  - start the write up with the simple ideas, then move to the 
+    hard ones to avoid them getting confused
+  - focus on ease of reading, don't make it overly formal, just use what you know
+  - don't repeat yourself, both on information, and on phrases, because its dull
+  - avoid confusing the reader
+** putting ideas in a logical order
+   - look at the summarised material i have made
+   - order it all
+   - write from there
+   - imagine im reading it for the first time, does it make sense, perhaps get someone
+     elses view on it, if it doesnt make sense to them, it wont make sense to the examiner
+** practical structuring
+   - aim for an easy to read document
+   - use formating to make it easy to read and follow, ie italics for quotes
+** dont drown in text!
+   - a page of solid text is painful to read, make sure line spacing is nice, paragraphs are large
+     use things like bullet points, flow charts, and tables of data.
+   - make sure the tables and graphs are relevant
+   - pictures are okay, but only if they are relevant, i doubt my topic will have anything 
+     that needs an image 
+** joining things together
+   - read the entirer thing through a couple days after finishing it
+   - each section, should link to the next, for example, after an explination of a license, a
+     breif history of it.
+** the final product
+   - it must answer the question
+   - it must be clear
