I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT
Research writing requires much preparation particularly in creating an efficient planning
matrix. It covers from the conceptualization of your research topic to the presentation of your
output to the board of panelists. For this reason, you, as a researcher, really need to be extra
careful in making preparations for your research work.

II. LEARNING SKILLS

Generally, at the end of the module, you are expected to explain. Specifically, you are
most likely to exhibit the following competencies:

1. Formulates clearly the Statement of Research Problem. (Week 2)

III. ACTIVITIES

A good research paper shows strong points not only in its content and information
but also in its presentation and technicalities. Bear in mind that research writing is a bit
different from other writing activities since it requires accuracy and authenticity. It is an
academic writing that prepares you to become an academic writer and a good researcher.
