给一个老师套磁之后,老师让我发给他一篇potential research,然后我组织了2天语言写了大概1000多字过去,然后老师给我回了很长一封信,前面说他要退休了,但是推荐了2个研究方向和我相同的导师,然后后面说了如下一通:
In developing a proposal, you need to think of about 15 pages, within which you will:
1. Identify a literature overview that describes key texts and studies that form the background for your proposed study,
2. The overview should culminate in a clear research statement of a particular problem that will be the main subject of your doctoral studies, and
3. An early consideration of appropriate approach/paradigm and methods for your proposed study.
At present, the few pages that you have sent do not adequately described any of the above three points. You will also have to be clear about your intention and literature background. Personally, I am now aware of the study you refer to – and that needs to be explained.
If you can further develop your proposal, I will provide some further comments as to whether it is likely to meet the standards at HKU.
