PROPOSAL - Comments

Salam

Some of the drafted proposal sent to me via email needs a lot work.

Introduction - start with general statements ( a few sentences) about the topic then bring the readers to the specific topic and then to the statement of problem. Use the funnel approach. Along the way add in literature to support your statements especially evidence to show the need to conduct your research that you are proposing. Literature can be from journals, reports, news article, etc.

Methodology - start with the purpose of the research and restate your research questions. Then add in the approach, whether quantitative, qualitative or mixed. Then state the research type e.g experimental, correlation, interview, observation etc or combination of several types. State why you have chosen the approach and the research type. This should be supported by quotations from others e.g your authors of textbook.  Then describe the sample, sampling procedure and why. Describe also the research procedure in detail. Do not forget to describe how you are going to analyze the data.
