Scope and Limitations

Should have two parts.  Both have format subheadings as follows:

• Scope
• Limitations

Each should have approximately 1 paragraph each.

Scope should identify specifically:

What?

Who?

Where?

When

Why?

How?

Of your thesis.

The same holds true with the Limitations, you have to specifically identify what won’t be the topic.  Where the scope defines what IS the topic.

Along with the limitations include another paragraph, which may be needed to be written.  These include what you cannot do.  E.g.  Language barrier, the researchers cannot speak Korean, and therefore will need the services of a translator.  The researchers cannot physically go to Vietnam, hence the interviews will be conducted via Sype.
