• To present the conclusion of your research.

• To familiarise the reader with your research problem and the relevant literature.

• To provide a detailed methodology of your research.

• To showcase the results of the study.

Where is the literature review typically found in larger research projects like a thesis?

• Within the conclusion.

• As a section within the introduction.

• As a separate chapter immediately after the introduction.

• Before the introduction.

• Summarize the conclusion of your study.

• Establish key ideas and findings from relevant research literature.

• Present a research problem.

• Announce how you will address or fix the research problems

Why is it important to share key concepts and findings from previous research in your research project?

• To demonstrate that your project was developed from links to previous research and not in isolation.

• To increase the length of your research project.

• To claim the previous research as your own.

• To focus solely on your own findings without considering prior work

Which of the following should be included in your research project to provide clarity and context?

• Opinions about unrelated topics.

• Definitions of technical terms and theoretical constructs.

• A detailed biography of the researcher.

What is the primary focus of Component 2 in a research project?

• To provide a detailed literature review.

• To set the stage for the justification of your research topic by portraying a research problem of uncertainty.

• To offer a detailed methodology of how the research was conducted.

• To conclude and provide implications of your research findings

Why is it crucial to have a narrow or defined research topic?

• To ensure that the research project covers content already discussed extensively in the literature.

• To demonstrate that your research project is unique and fills a gap in the existing literature.

• To lengthen the research project unnecessarily.

• To make the research more complicated and difficult to understand.

Why do engineers and scientists commonly argue for a real-world problem of need in their research?

• Because it helps to lengthen their research papers.

• To demonstrate the direct applicability of engineering and science in addressing real-world challenges.

• Because real-world problems are easier to solve than theoretical ones.

• To avoid referencing any existing literature.

What is a research gap primarily concerned with?

• Discussing extensively researched topics.

• Knowledge or areas that have already been fully covered in the literature.

• Identifying and addressing topics or areas that haven't been researched yet.

• Presenting personal opinions and anecdotes

Why might a researcher argue for a problem of research insufficiency or inadequacy?

• To highlight areas where existing research may not provide a complete or comprehensive understanding of a topic.

• To restate information that has already been exhaustively covered in prior studies.

• To make their research appear more complicated.

• To avoid any reference to the existing literature.
