 CHAPTER 1

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

This chapter introduces the subject matter and problem(s) being studied and indicates its

importance and validity. It is important to remember that the research objectives stated in the

project paper should match the findings of the study.

1.2 Problem Statement

A problem statement is a brief piece of writing that usually explains the problem or issue the

document is addressing to the reader. In general, a problem statement will outline the basic facts

of the problem, explain why the problem matters, and pinpoint a solution as quickly and directly

as possible.

1.3 Objectives

Research is an organized investigation of a problem in which there is an attempt to gain solution

to a problem. To get right solution of a right problem, the objectives of the study should be

clearly defined. The objectives of a research project summarize what is to be achieved by the

study.

1
 CHAPTER 2

2. LITERATURE REVIEW

This section encompasses a critical and comprehensive review of the literature related to the

topic of the project paper. It is meant to act as a base for the experimental and analytical sections

of the project paper. Literature selected must be up-to-date, and be analyzed and synthesized

logically. It is not simply a summary of works of different authors. The review should give the

gist of each book or pertinent findings of a journal article. This chapter should be ended with a

conclusion which explain how the reviewed work relates to the topic and show why it is not

sufficient to answer the research questions.

2
 CHAPTER 3

3. METHODOLOGY

Writing methodology includes description of the equipment and the techniques used for

gathering and analyzing the data of the research. It contains a description and justification of the

research design and method used to achieve the stated objectives of the study undertaken. The

methods used in the study should be described in detail and concisely.

3
 CHAPTER 4

4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

This chapter consists of two parts (Results and Discussion). The results part includes (e.g. tables,

figures, and charts) and the discussion part is to discuss these results.

4.1 Results

4.1.1 ***********

4.2 Discussions

**************************

 CHAPTER 5

5. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

5.1 Conclusions

This section bridges the data presented or described in the preceding section, and contains the

analyses or interpretations of the results obtained, and the conclusions drawn. Students should

discuss these results in relation to the hypotheses or objectives set out in the Introduction, and

how they fit into the existing or current body of knowledge. The significance and implications of

the main findings should be made clear. This chapter is important since it illustrates the

significance of the study and stresses the findings upon which a conclusion or conclusions are

drawn in line with the objectives set, acknowledges the limitations, and suggests further research

which may be carried out on the topic.

Appendix A
Tables

Ensure that all tables shown in the project paper, including those in the Appendices, are referred

to in the text. Tables should be numbered by chapter, e.g. Table 1.1, Table 1.2 and Table 1.3 to

indicate they belong to Chapter 1, Table 2.1, Table 2.2 and Table 2.3 to Chapter 2, and so on.
