State clearly the importance of your project, preferably backed up by some references; research problem (why you choose to study and address the topic), contributions, main research objective and question. Please do not let the reader wait till the Methodology chapter to know exactly the aims of your project.   Literature review (around 3000 words): It is important to develop a coherent and analytical argument with a good flow, rather than just giving a list of theories, like what I often call a “shopping list”.
