This assessment requires the completion of a research proposal for the capstone project. The proposal should explain the nature and scope of the planned research. The main sections should be covered in the proposal include project aim and objectives, a brief literature review, research gaps and questions, research approach/ methodology, research timetable, expected research outcomes, and a references list. The word limit is 1000 – 1500 words, including figures and tables but excluding the abstract, table of contents, and reference list.

You may use Al for planning, idea development, and research. Your final submission should show how you have developed and refined these ideas.

The proposal must be clearly written in a well-structured way. The use of standard templet is recommended, and all essential parts must be included. Points will be deducted for not correctly following APA guidelines, the inappropriate use of AI tools, and high Turnitin similarity scores that indicate improper paraphrasing (such as copied sentences or sentences with just one word changed). Besides, failure to use academic writing will also cause point reduction. Checking the rubric carefully before starting your assessment.
