Chapter Marking Criteria Maximum Mark

Agree with the mark. The dissertation structure did not meet the academic requirement. Please separate long paragraphs in the Literature

Review chapter and make sure you critically discuss different existing literature and applied proper references throughout. Methodology is

not clear and do not just simply present all the Tables and Figures in data findings. Need to analyse data and reflect your literature review

discussions. Need to present a lot more detail in Analysis and Conclusion.

Overall comments:

Clear research issue & appropriate background. Objectives clear but some issues about scope, fit with the rationale, feasibility .Fair

description of appropriate field(s) of literature. Some general conclusions, weak evaluation of concepts & analytical framework. Research

Methods unclear, don't relate to the research.Results are presented incompletely with no real interpretation or analysis. Conclusions are

unclear or not related to research findings and literature, objectives not achieved.
