Common mistakes • Failure to provide the proper context to frame the research question. • Failure to delimit the boundary conditions for your research. • Failure to accurately present the theoretical and empirical contributions by other researchers. • Failure to stay focused on the research question. • Failure to develop a coherent and persuasive argument for the proposed research. • Too much detail on minor issues, but not enough detail on major issues. • Too much rambling -- going "all over the map" without a clear sense of direction. (The best proposals move forward with ease and grace like a seamless river.) • Too many citation lapses and incorrect references. • Too long or too short. • Failing to follow the APA style. • Slopping writing.
