Student story: Kelly was uncertain about discussing, reporting and presenting her findings. She was concerned she could not substantiate her findings. Her anxiety was, however, baseless. Kelly provided sufficient evidence to support the claims she was making. She reinforced what was already known about her topic. In addition, Kelly illustrated how this compared to, and contrasted with, the current understanding of her topic. As a result, she suggested ways her topic could be further developed and advanced.
