Management of Projects Group of ProgrammesFeedback to guide Dissertation ResubmissionVersion 4: 29/11/2017Note to studentsThis form sets out the feedback and comments on the deficiencies and inadequacies that are to be remedied. You must read these very carefully, and use them to guide the preparation of your resubmission. When you have prepared your resubmission you must fill in the sections headed ‘student to complete’.You must list the remedial work you havedone and explain how you have addressed the deficiencies and inadequacies set out. You must add the completed form to the back of the resubmitted dissertation. Failure to do so will be taken into consideration when your work is marked.You should refer to the Dissertation Handbook for a full description of the criteria for each element.The aim of a resubmission is to correct and remedy the deficiencies and inadequacies in the original dissertation, and therefore the original project whichwas the basis for your dissertation, its aim and the original title must not be changed.ElementCriteriaExtract from ‘Dissertation Marking Scheme Guidance notes’Supervisor to complete: Feedback and comments on deficiencies and inadequacies to be remediedIntroduction:Aims andObjectivesAll dissertations should have an abstract and an introductory chapter.The abstract should provide an overview of the whole dissertation.The introduction should provide: an overview of the project topic area, and its context and background, together with a brief summary of the key concepts and definitions, supported by referenced material; a clear aim and linked objectives and, if The Introduction does not meet all the requirementsThe Introduction starts off strongly but the quality of the further sections does not match this - several of the sections should be significantly improved by taking note of the expectations set out in the Dissertation HandbookThe abstractmentions many of the elements required but does not say anything about them. It is more of a guide to the dissertation than an abstract. Include a general overview of the main elements within the dissertation, a summary of the conclusions and recommendations for future workIn what you have written about the project topic area - as in many other places - the material is rather repetitious and similar points made more than once – re-read everything and try to edit out this repetition1
appropriate, the research questions or hypothesesto be tested;a statement on the significance of the project topicarea and its potential beneficiaries;a description of the scope and limitations;an explanation of the structure and content of the dissertation.The Aim and Objectives are clearly interrelated - but the objectives overlap each other – re-write them as independent goals in more distinct detail – this will help in setting out the steps needed to address the aim.The Aim includes some discussion of the Methodology – this is not appropriate, so remove it (put it in the Methodology Chapter if necessary)The Scope is stated very briefly. It is not clear if the focus is solely on Financial organisations - as indicated in the Abstract – make it clear. State the limitations of the work.The Dissertation guide is inadequate. It states the headings of the chapters (in the wrong order) but little else – see the Dissertation Guide for clarification on what should be included and re-writeStudent to complete: List the remedial work done and explain what you have done to remedy the deficiencies and inadequacies set out in the feedback.The abstract was modified and present the clear concept of the entire study In the introduction chapter, the research rationale and the problem statement provide the clear knowledge of the research issueResearch objectives and questions are appropriately structured for highlighting the major issues in this research2
ElementCriteriaExtract from ‘Dissertation Marking Scheme Guidance notes’Supervisor to complete: Feedback and comments on deficiencies and inadequacies to be remediedMethodologyThe Methodology should provide:a justification for the method, or methods, of data acquisition, investigation and analysis used in the preparation of the dissertation; these should be related to the nature of the project topic area, and to the research aim and objectives. a description and explanation of the methodology which should be detailed enough to enable another individual to replicate the study and achieve the same results.The Methodology section is long. It is extremely repetitious in the first part - and fails to address many of the required elements. It needs to be edited, taking the following into account.You write at some length to describe the various categories of research that could be carried out - and indicate the method selected without ever being convincing in what was done here. This detail ofthe alternative methods is not necessary – but you don’t have to reduce itHowever, the detail of the methodology actually selected is inadequate and should be strengthenedThere are parts which may have been copied - without acknowledgement - judging from the phraseology - eg p31 references to "the dealer, retailer and the distributor" or p33 reference to "the school libraries" and reference to an unknown acronym (LIS). Be very careful to avoid plagiarism. Make sure you know what this means and review the whole dissertation to eliminate itThe references are a problem – many of the sources are from the medical discipline, and their use here is questionable. There is a lack of adequate referencing, with many unsubstantiated statements.In parts there is too much reliance on one or two sources. You need to resolve these problems – see also the next section, which discusses a more serious problem with the referencesThere is an entirely spurious section - almost two pages - on ethical considerations - which bears little relationship to this work – it is not required and could be deletedThe sources of material are discussed only briefly and without significant regard to their potential validity – you need to explain more about the type of material you are using – and justify itThere is no information whatsoever on the search strategy or search terms – you need to include thisStudent to complete: List the remedial work done and explain what you have done to remedy the deficiencies and inadequacies set out in the feedback.The methodology section achieved the requirements and it includes the structure as recommended. Each of the topic is covered for developing a secondary research processThe references used in the methodology section are authentic and sourced from the previous scholars’ works. 3
