Mini Research Paper Guidelines

A. How to Write Chapter One; the Introduction

Chapter one of a research acts as a funnel. It begins with a broad subject related to the title of
thesis, then narrows down to the variables and the questions/problems which are going to be
solved in the research.
Generally, in introduction you need to explain what the reader is going to read about.
For your mini research paper, the introduction chapter has some subtitles which are:
Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 Introduction
1.2 Review of Related Literature and Studies
1.3 Objectives of the Study
1.4 Statement of the Problem
1.5 Significance of the Study
1.6 Scope and Delimitations
