7. Research proposals typically have weaknesses in:

-the measurement instrument is unfamiliar to the participants.
9. A student research proposal has two distinct advantages: it communicates to the student's advisor what the student intends to do, and it:
-satisfies the requirements for a course.
-gives the student an opportunity to learn about the library.
-provides a literature review of the research topic.
-helps the student organize the research activity.
10. Experience has shown that:
