In these last 3 weeks, I have been writing my draft introduction, methodology, and draft chapter, and I also polished my literature review.
Final thesis proposal
During my second 1-to-1 session with Nigel, I asked Nigel about the length of my literature review and the issues I was having trying to reduce it, as if I don’t, I will not have much space for my draft chapter. He then advised that if the literature review already shows my voice and how I am going to approach my topic, it is not strictly necessary to write a big draft chapter either. Therefore, I could reduce just a bit my literature review and only write about 100 words or a paragraph for my draft chapter. He also mentioned that thesis proposals were not supposed to be that strict with word count like the final thesis, as the proposal is only an explanation on how I am to develop my final thesis.
Below is how I finished my thesis proposal:
