Structure of Research Proposal, Thesis and Dissertation Edwin K Kanda

This is a concise research guide for graduate students, especially those undertaking Master and Postgraduate Diploma, on how to write their proposals and finally thesis and dissertations. It gives students a short but useful information on what constitutes a research proposal, the difference between a thesis and a proposal and how to disseminate their research findings. Some students are always in a dilemma on what to include in a manuscript, and they find themselves with pertinent choices. Sometimes, students in natural and applied sciences such as engineering may be required to use a model while undertaking their research. The first question often is the understanding what entails a modelling study. Secondly, how different is it from conventional research. This guide, therefore, provides an overview of the important considerations in scientific research involving one or more models.
