  • The first section of your proposal presentation will be the introduction
  • The introduction is a critical part of any assessment so if you find yourself rewriting it multiple times, that is not a bad thing ​
  • You will present your research topic and explain why it is important and interesting. ​
  • The introduction should also state the relevance of your research question to the larger world, and to multiple audiences in that larger world. ​
