Research Proposal a Simplified Step-by-Step Guide - Revised Edition - E-book - ePub

As part of the requirements for their degree programme, college and university students are usually required to engage in an in-depth study on a topic of their choice. Such a study is called a research project. It is also referred to as a thesis or dissertation at the postgraduate level of studies. Unlike other research works, this kind of research is usually preceded by a proposal which has to be approved by one's supervisor as a prerequisite to engage in the proposed research. Such a proposal is meant to help one to develop one's research idea into a scientific paper. A research proposal is a tedious and meticulous exercise that requires one to have a thorough understanding of the concepts that are used as the building blocks when writing it in order to be able to get it right.
Many students struggle to get their proposals right because of their failure to understand what each of these concepts should entail. This book is meant to help such students. It is a step-by-step guide through which students are introduced to the said concepts and how they are used as building blocks to produce scholarly and professional research proposals that meet the required standards.
