Writing a Research Question and Outline

Volledige vakbeschrijving

The outline written during the current module is the outline for the research protocol that is to be written later on this year (EPI4927 in period 4) and will guide you during your thesis period. Essentially, therefore, you start working on your thesis from the current module onwards. The knowledge gained in the master program so far should enable you to formulate a clear research question, write an introduction on your study topic that logically leads up to the research question, and give an outline for the methodology needed to investigate the research question. The reason for starting with this early on in the program and separating this from the module ‘Writing a Research Protocol’ (EPI4927 in period 4) is that it takes time to formulate a good research question and to familiarize yourself with the research setting within which your internship will take place. The research protocol will be worked out in full using this outline during the module ‘Writing a Research Protocol’.
