Background of th Study
Why did you undertake the project? Why is the research needed? This
rationale should be placed within the context of exiting research. You
need to demonstrate that you know what you are talking
about. Cite your references/evidence of information as you present
your study. Basically, you have to convince that you know what you’re
talking about and that the research is important.
