Course Content

This course is as in MAT4013 , intended to guide the students through the stages of writing a proposal for their research option project and subsequent documents. Content varies from student to Student but we prefer to continue the topic from MAT4013. Topics include planning, research and documentation, prose style and editing, document design, ethics, abstracts, and oral presentation of the proposal.
