2. What is recommended by IGNOU? Synopsis Proposal
Six Credit Course – Needs 180 hours
Independent work plan
Plan on Empirical-Experimental data
Analysis of conclusion driven particular situation
One academic counselor for ten students
Topic or Title – Specific, Achievable, Realistic, Time bound
Proposal- A4 size paper, double space typing, font size-12, Consent letter of guide (I), proforma of approval (II).

3. What is recommended by IGNOU? Final Project
Introduce the problem & refer to research topic
Write rationale and purpose of the research
Review similar topics from books, journal and articles.
Mention the significance of study
Preferably use cause and effect study for IV & DV
Methods must contains Sample, Test, tools, statistical analysis, data tables, Inferences
Discuss statistical parameters – In relation to your research problem & in relation to literature review
Finally write conclusion, Delimitations, Suggestions & References

4. How to start? Synopsis Preparation
Think about Cause – Effect
If “X affects Y” means X is the cause of changes in Y.
Search for X & Y in your research problem.
For Example: X can be fear, honesty, sociability, arithmetic ability.
Y is the effect – It can be “Fear produces performance” Honesty produces Identity” “Sociability produces Relationship” “Arithmetic ability produces success”
Now you have to refine your IV & DV

5. One Step Ahead Synopsis Preparation
FEAR PRODUCES PERFORMANCE Fear of what? – is it fear of cockroach in kitchen? Or is it fear of failure of kids in exam? Or is it fear of boss in office? Or is it fear inside in your mind? How performance affects? Fear increases fatigue or it creates depression or it reduces work motivation or produces suicidal tendencies Now next step – Proceed for literature review

6. Second Step Synopsis Preparation
Review of Literature
Reasons of insect fear
Use of anti-anxity medication & hypnotherapy
Research data related to “What is produced by extreme fear”
Fear produces – Fleeing, hiding, freezing, stuttering, stammer, hesitation
Now proceed for tool/ test selection

7. Third Step Synopsis Preparation
Tool / Test Selection
Select the test which measures fear and another test which measures fatigue.
Write Title
“Effect of fear in kitchen on fatigue of housewife”
Think of Design
Capture your Independent Variable & Dependent Variable and think about possible effect of IV on DV.

8. Next Step – Synopsis Preparation
Manipulation o Independent Variable
Can you manipulate your IV (Fear/Honesty/ Sociability/ Arithmetic Ability)
You can manipulate fear by decreasing it – Do Experimental Research
You can’t manipulate fear by increasing it – Do Quasi-Experimental Research
You can manipulate Honesty or Sociability by increasing it – Do Experimental research
You can’t manipulate Honesty or Sociability by decreasing it – Do Quasi-Experimental research
You can manipulate Arithmetic Ability by increasing it only – Do Experimental Research

9. Final Step – Synopsis Preparation
Some Questions are yet unanswered
What is cause- Effect research. How it is different from co-relational, comparative or case study researches.
How to refine Independent variable and dependent variable?
Why can’t you manipulate some Independent variables?
What will be possible design when you use experimental research?
What will be possible design when you use quasi- experimental research?
What will be possible design when you use co-relational research?
What will be possible design when you use comparative research?
What is design formation. Why it is important in scientific research?
What are different types of design? Which design is suitable in what situation?
Why you need design? How you will collect and tabulate the data?
How to draw inferences from tables? What statistics is applicable in different designs. Why you should use statistics?
So many questions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
