1/5 The best way to make the best of each stage of your relationship with your mentor is to ensure that you maintain a sense of humility and meekness. Do not assume you have learnt enough to be ‘let loose’. You must never burn bridges with your mentor(s). #ChatWithTunde 2/5 Also make sure that you do not come off as a liability but rather as an asset. When your mentors need to get something of great importance done, you want to be the first person that comes to their mind. #ChatWithFola #ChatWithTunde

1/5 You may wish to include a section on definition of terms, a short literature review and a section on your proposed theoretical framework.

#ChatWithFola

1/5 Your research proposal should begin with an introduction or background. It should then contain your potential research questions. Ideally, I would suggest one major question and then two other operational questions from the first.

#ChatWithFola
#ChatWithTunde 2/5 It may be helpful to include hypothesis if you have any that set the course for the research. Then a methodology section should also be included which should clearly spell out how you intend to collect and analyse data.

1/5 When writing a research proposal, the first thing to do is to stick to a topic that sustains your interests. There is no point starting a graduate programme and not completing it because you lost interest in it.

#ChatWithFola
#ChatWithTunde 2/5 Also very often some candidates try to come up with topics that they hope has the potential to ‘change the world’. This is often the case with doctoral studies. Starting out this way could be counterproductive and quite misleading.

A lot of times we appear to be in a rush to share our so called 'new year resolutions' in response to that of others. Little wonder why by the middle of the first month of the year, we realise we are back to our old ways. This is June. #Thread While there is nothing wrong with sharing resolutions, what might be even more important would be a committment to ensuring that we actually 'do' what we set out to do.

@BTDTHub When applying for scholarships abroad, it helps to start by recognizing that so many others are also applying along with you. So have to stand out. One way to do this is to demonstrate why awarding you the scholarship guarantees long term benefits for a larger cause #ChatWithFola @BTDTHub It helps to pay STRICT attention to specific instructions in the scholarship application. For instance if asked to write a 250 word essay, just writing 251 words could disqualify your application. Also watch spellings and grammar too. Read twice before submitting. #ChatWithFola
