Alright berk? I heard a great chat up line yesterday..... "You look like my third wife.... yeah', only been married twice".
what do you mean by a literature review, is that like Richard'n'Judy's book club? And what do you mean by an experimental protical?

An experimental protocol
is, erm. I don't know how else to describe it. Step-by-step instructions on how to perform a particular experiment. I know roughly what I need to do to achieve what I want, so I need to do a review of the relevant literature (ie, journals, papers etc which have done something similar) and cobble something together from them. I'll then need to do the experiment as I've written it, and tweak it until I've optimised it.

Ahh, I see, I think.
A bit like how when I create bits of code that get released to other people (where they'll use it, on a code level, rather than user level), I release a document telling people what the veriables/functions are so they can use it without having to scan/read through the whole code, and normally with a few examples.

So with the literature review you see someone who's done something similar and use that as a reference for your own documentation?

Sorta
I read a bunch of stuff, see what they did and how, and use that as a base.

so you copy what someone else has done
Change the font, and claim the work as your own. Nice.

Haha, like you've never done a find-and-replace on Encarter.

Although seriously, if it's anything like code, then there is loads involved.
Like Facebook have something called an SDK, which does all the facebook functions, this is called a 'Supper Class', you then build a 'Sub Class' which takes a copy of that SDK and then adds your specific functions to it.
