Planning a research project

Bryman and Bell (2011; Chapter 3) examines the topic of Research Project Planning. I produce the following agenda based on their work:

1. Learn the expectation of  your university on your dissertation works
2. Supervision meetings and supervisor's support
3. Time and resource management
4. Formulation of research objectives and research questions (especally note Figure 3.2 of Bryman and Bell (2011, Chapter 3, pg. 80; and Figure 3.3. on pg. 84).)
5. Formulation of research design
