Objective
This class presentation is about your in-depth literature review. Your main focus shoud be your in-depth literature review and the introduction. It is unnecessarily to show method or results. You will present your in-depth literature review, research questions, and objectives to the class. Use this opportunity to refine your research proposal through class feedback and discussion. This is to ensure that your introduction effectively sets the stage for your research by clearly defining the context, significance, research question, and objectives of your research proposal

- Based on an in-depth literature review, explain the significance of your research within the broader field
Literature review summary:
- Summarize key findings from your literature review that highlight the gap your research will fill
- Discuss relevant studies, theories, or models that support the foundation of your research
Research question
- Based on an in-depth literature review, clearly articulate your research question
- Ensure that your research question is specific, focused, and aligns with the gap identified in the literature review
Research objectives
- Clearly state the objectives of your research
- Ensure that your objectives are specific, measurable, and aligned with the research question
Significance and contribution:
- Discuss the potential contributions your research will make to the field
- Explain how your research will advance knowledge, address a gap, or solve a specific problem
Questions for feedback:

Evaluation
The points listed below are provided as a checklist to guide your preparation and ensure your presentation covers the learning objectives. These presentations are not graded for content. However, you are expected to meaningfully address each component as part of the exercise. Skipping or inadequately addressing a component will result in no credit for participation on that part.

- Does the presentation provide a clear and comprehensive overview of the research topic and context? (5 points)
- Is the research problem clearly defined and effectively articulated? (5 points)
- Is the research question specific, focused, and aligned with the identified research gaps from the literature review (5 points)
- Are the research objectives well-stated, specific, and aligned with the research problem and research questions (5 points)
- Does the presentation effectively communicate the significance and potential contributions of the research? (5 points)
- Are the questions for feedback well-formulated and conducive to helpful discussion? (5 points)
