Propose
Shape your proposal
Proposal coaching helps you narrow a broad interest into a research question your supervisor can say yes to.
the first weeks of term
From a broad interest to a clear question
Most proposals start too wide. In the first sessions your coach asks a lot of questions about what draws you to the topic, what you have already read and what is realistic in the time you have.
Together you draft a research question, a short rationale and an outline of how you might answer it. Your coach comments on each draft and suggests where to cut.
The proposal stays yours. We point out gaps and ask questions; you decide what goes in and what you take to your supervisor.
