The supervision log documents a meeting to discuss a student's draft research proposal. The discussion focused on revising the proposal's title and topic to make them more coherent and less controversial. They settled on a new topic examining the relationship between BMI, mental health status, and DASS scores. They also discussed how to properly conduct the literature review, research ethics, methods, variables, survey questions, and next steps to refine the proposal. The student was instructed to research methodology, conduct a literature search and review, prepare a research framework, and submit an updated proposal by February 18th, 2015.
