Hello ,
The university has recently notified me that they have allocated my dissertation supervisor.
Feedback on thisdraft dissertation proposal form
One piece of advice, don’t forget a dissertation should say a lot about a little rather than a little about a lot. The Research Question, Research Objectives – the purpose of the research is really just to draw the link with the context and show why the question is important.
You need to provide good focused research questions and objectives (that is what you need to understand to address the research question – these must link directly to the question). It is important to really think about these as they are the core driver for the dissertation.
Be very focused in what you are seeking answers to.
