FORMAT & GUIDANCE

Research Proposal

This is a document written in the format of a research proposal document.

This is an individual and not a group or collaborative task.

Specific Marking Scheme (Bullet point guidance for staff and students)

Clarity and conciseness
Overall, the marking scheme should reward more highly those responses which are written in a simple and straightforward, yet intelligent and knowledgeable manner. Technical language, terms and expressions should be employed in the proposal however this should not be at the expense of readability and clarity of meaning and expression. In other words, technical terms should not be used for effect but purposefully and meaningfully.

In relation to specific research proposal sections:

Title

The title:

• The title should be mindful of every word it employs
• The title should be mindful that the use of nouns often points at the need to search particular literature bases – how many nouns/literature bases are alluded to?
• Is the title too long/too short?
• Does the title point at a clear potential theoretical framework?
• Does the title point at the possibility of the research moving from a background field to a focal field of study (i.e. the funnel effect)?
• Does the title point towards and indicate a piece of research which is achievable overall?
