The Individual Assignments are designed to develop your skills at applying the knowledge gained in the module to the development of a potential future proposal for a research project. The initial stages of the research proposal are illustrated in Figure 6.2 of the textbook (Collis & Hussey, 2013, p.100). This part you will present your topic (keeping in mind the criteria mentioned in your textbook Box 6.1 p.101) research motivation and pertinent literature reading so far.

Chapter 1, ‘Understanding research’ (pp.1-20)Chapter 2, ‘Dealing with practical issues’ (pp.21-41) Top of Form Here, I would like to share with the feedback I got from my instructor for week 1 (the file I attached earlier) he said “This is a really important module as it will give you the ability to delivery your dissertation. This is an unusual week and it is difficult to give much feedback on week 1 – it is not assessed and is really about getting you thinking about research. That said I thought that you well – however I am not sure of what you topic is going to be. I think you might have to get more focus but I have no doubt that this will come in the next few weeks. Some good points in the discussion unfortunately I got C but this time I wish I can get A or A+
