1. 9. Following the objectives
- once your proposal has passed, you can embark on
actually doing the project.
- Following the project will guide you towards
achieving the aim.
- during the process, you may be sidetracked away
from the main purpose of your project.
- discussion with your supervisor will help you back
to the aim and decide whether the new track falls
within the scope of the project.
- Sometimes, the aim must be updated so that the
new issue can be incorporated into the project.
- meeting with your supervisor and/or examiner will
help you
1. monitoring the project’s progress
2. receiving the valuable feedbacks
3. avoiding future failures.
- it is important for you to discuss with your supervisor
immediately, if you are in the situation where you
cannot meet your objectives.
Examples:
1. additional work
Risks:
the additional work may take too long to complete

2. Tip:
plan the time very well by discussing with your
supervisor
do not start the additional work until you are sure to
finish it
2. alternative aims
Risks:
You can end up with a report where different parts
are inconsistent such as aims and objectives, results and
objectives, literatures and aims and objectives.
Tip:
Read the whole draft of your report and check that
everything makes sense and the updates are consistent.
3. failure analysis
Risks:
A high risk of rejection by the examiner.
Tip:
You may save the project by adding a detailed
analysis of the unexpected problem, and claim as the
main finding of your project.
You may convince the examiner if the unexpected
problem is as interesting as the original one.
This requires a lot of rewriting of the report since
the aims and objectives will not corresponding with the
results.

3. Last tip for all
It is greatest for you to discuss the situation with
your supervisor, examiner and academic advisor for
some advices on how to proceed.
