CHAPTER 3: METHODOLOGY
How you ask the question determines how the question is answered. The methodology should be described in great detail and carefully defended. The chapter should include a complete description of the intervention design and an accurate narrative on how the design was implemented. In the proposal stage, this is all in future tense, but will revert to past tense once the study is complete.

CHAPTER 4: RESULTS
This chapter should outline the results of gleaned from the data. Sensing suggests, The chapter should be creatively written, not presenting mere dry facts and data, but compelling the reader to understand the meaning of the study undertaken. The researcher is encouraged to use graphics to illustrate changes that resulted from the project’s implementation.
CHAPTER 5: CONCLUSION
Your conclusion should compare the research for the thesis project proposal with the results of the implemented research project. It is here that the reader should understand the relevance and efficacy of the study, and should not walk away asking “So what?” How do the results compare with similar situations? How might your research be replicated in a similar situation? What questions need additional investigation?
