How to search for free project materials or journal articles online
Are you looking for how to get free research materials online or journal articles? Then you are in the right place to get information on it.
Most Lecturers in Nigeria always give their project students two options when it comes to project topics. The options go inform of the questions below:
- Should I give you a project topic to work on?
- Do you have a project topic(s) in mind?
I always encourage students to go for the project topics of their supervisor. And the reason is that the topics are what the supervisor is working on or intended to work on. However, if you are sure that you have a topic(s) in mind which you can carry out with minimal supervision and it is not cost effective you can go for it. You should know that any topic you want to work on should be the one your supervisor knows something about. Failure to acknowledge this may result in denial by your supervisor during your project defense.
