Proposal Defence

The key problem faced by my students in Proposal Defence sessions was the lack of defence.

When they were questioned or challenged, they noded their heads, accepting the comments and doubts held by panel examiners, as opposed to argue with the examiners and clarify doubts.

Another problem they normally had was the lack of coherence, esp between the problem statement, research objectives and research questions.

For those who don't have learning experience in foundation research course, i.e. having q Master's degree by completing course work instead of research project, this would make then having serious problem in research.
