How to write a proposal

A proposal is the starting point for a researcher. It, in addition, tells what will happen at the end, because it is a plan for your future. It is showing the roadmap of the researcher and somehow convinces the decision-makers including the professors, sponsors, and even the researcher himself/herself that it is worth spending time and money on this research project. Since it is a preplan for your research activities, you as a researcher ought to know the final outcome of your project and must be aware of whether it is practical, possible, and contributive to your society, in general, and major, in particular. In this course, you will learn how to plan for your future research activities and how to put the on a few papers so that you can convince all, specifically supervisor, advisor and committee of referees. This course will take you step-by-step so that at the end you can write your best possible proposal and harvest its fruit as a thesis/dissertation and consequently a research paper.

It should be reminded that the instructor of the course is the author of a book series on ‘how to write academic research papers’ published by Amazon. In addition, he is the author of a book on English grammar and the editor of two other books.

N.B.: The course is regularly updated and new lectures are being added time and again.
