[MUSIC] Introduction, Aims, or

Objectives section, or any other name it has according to the

directions, is the face of your project. It is also the part open for emotive
language,
which will be discussed in Lesson Nine. Draft this section very carefully,
as if you don't grab the attention from the very first page,
it will be hard to do it later. You can make the first
impression only once. It's a great idea to make the first
sentence of this section and more complete version of the title so that the reader
could understand clearly
the connection between its parts. Besides, you repeat the key terms and
make them more familiar to the reader. For example, if the table sounds
as role of Fragilis Proteins in intracellular shuttles
during cell activation, then the first sentence in
the introduction could sound as, in this application we propose to
test the hypothesis that the Fragilis proteins are molecular shuttles taking
a set of protein modifiers from the intracellular compartment to
the membrane after cellular activation. Try to relate your proposed aims
to the preliminary studies. Use nouns and verbs that identify
advancement and growth: for example, advance, broaden, build upon,
emerge, extend, lead, or pursue. For instance, the proposed research
builds upon the psychological classes identified in preliminary studies. Another
point to make is present your
proposed aims in emphatic font and in a vertical enumerated list so
that reviewers can quickly identify them. Next, be precise and explicit when you
formulate objectives of the research. Write literally Our specific
objectives are enthuse such words as identify or determine or
any other words from bloom chart. When we say precise, we mean there
is one possible interpretation. For instance Despite the prevalence of
this perceptual basis, there is little or no consensus about its occurrence or
its significance for human vision. This objective can be
interpreted in multiple ways. For example despite the prevalence of
this perceptual basis, there is little or no consensus about whether it occurred Or
what significance it has for human vision. To make it even more precise,
it's better to rewrite it this way, so there is little or
no consensus about how and why it occurs or
what significance it has for human vision. Now it's clear what consensus is meant
and what exactly the researcher
wants to investigate. Don't hesitate to use clauses introduced
by such links as whether, what, why, when, which, to what extent To
make your objective more precise. Now let's consider three
common problems in phrasing a clear research purpose statement. First, that is the
level of
research purpose is not identified. Or, the technical area of investigation
is too general or too specific. And last,
the verb is not a research purpose word. For example, our objective is to
investigate subjects
within chronic unilateral vestibular loss. The topic is too broad,
it's not clear at all. So, make it more narrow The objective
of our proposed research is to determine whether subjects with
chronic unilateral vestibular loss have underlying postural asymmetries. Now let's
discuss the background section. We consider the staff information as well
as university information in lesson three. And it's great that you can prepare this
part of the section well in advance, even before you start at
crafting a particular proposal. And you will not have
to spend precious time when you start approaching the deadline. Thus, the main bulk
of work will be devoted to explaining what gap of
knowledge you're going to fill. In this background section,
you will provide review studies in fact that first one,
are directly relevant to the topic. And relevant not only to the topic but
your proposed objective and methods. You might have a temptation
to put as much information about your field of studies as possible. But you should
restrain yourself. Select the data you need exactly for
this research. And check that it corresponds
to the objective you set, and will justify the methods. Second, scientific
information and
in the background section should come primarily from published
research or other researchers. Published materials
are more trustworthy and are not subject to changes
as online materials are. However it does not mean that using
information from the internet is forbidden. By no means it's just a reminder that
you should be picky about sources. Third, publications review
should be up-to-date. It's an absolute must, as only this way you can learn what
is happening in the field of study. You can compare your ideas
to other researches and find your place in the network of science. It will also let
you define
an appropriate angle of the research or adjust your approach. Fourth, you should
review status that
help pinpoint both the significance and the novelty of the research. Background
section is
exactly the place for defining why your idea is innovative and
urgent. Even though you have already stated
the gap in knowledge in the aims or elect section, there should be
a sound scientific proof provided. Make clear the connection between
the findings you review and your study. How does your research logically
continues other researches. Don't forget about citing. All citations from
publications should
be accompanied by proper references. And it is advisable to divide
background section into sub sections, if not stated otherwise
in the grand directions. Phrase headings to
backgrounds of sections with key terms from the proposed
research objective and method. You're welcome to use nouns with modifiers
in the alpha numeric termasation\g scheme. Such as A.1 or A.1.2.
