This is the second phase of the research study/thesis. It is expected that you submit your final thesis by the end of the first semester. Thus, final defense will be set in September/October 2017.  At this stage, you are required to defend your title/research proposal in front of a panel of examiners. THE DATE OF THE TITLE/PROPOSAL DEFENSE IS SET ON 28 JULY 2017. Details of the mechanics for the oral presentation will be discussed during the class.

In preparation for the presentation, finalize your research proposal - Chapters 1 to 3 that was submitted last 2nd term. It is also encouraged that you have to prepare 1 or 2 additional ABSTRACT PROPOSALS as back-up topics in case your first choice of proposal will not be approved/accepted by the examiners.
