USING POINT ON SWITCHING FOR IMPROVING POWER SYSTEM OPERATION

What method will you use to analyse your readings?

How will you interpret the anaysis to make your conclusions?

how well have you 'read around' you subject to find out what is new?

Do your references make it easy to find the paper they refer to? Are they in the Harvard style? Are they cited in the text?

Are your references 'respectable'? Any references to pages such as wikipedia, howstuffworks and other 'hobby' pages can lose marks.

the consideration of safety issues and any other requirements such as ethics clearance, as they relate to YOU when performing your project.

And remember that plagiarism, adding material copied from any other source without making it clear that it is not your own, will lead to failure. That includes images from the web, if their caption does not contain the URL of their source.

Devise a topic most closely aligned with your studies and abilities - whether real or imagined. In your proposal concentrate on the 'agenda' - what you are going to do - rather than any advice or ideas (such as "we could all save energy by riding bicycles.")

The background can address the need for the research, but the main thrust should be previous work that has already been done on your topic. The aim of the research will be to reach some sort of conclusion, maybe "would it work" but more generally "what is the effect of". Remember that this conclusion will not be known until you have completed the research! Beware of jumping to conclusions with "This will show that."
