The walk to your supervisors office can be really scary. You are holding three project topics in your hand. Your heart is beating very fast. You are also worried that your supervisor will reject your ideas before you even get a chance to explain them.
At Vu Projects Research we know why supervisors reject project topics. It is not because the student is not smart. It is usually because the way the student presents the topic is not good enough. If you want your supervisor to say yes to your project topic you need to do things. Here is how you can present your project topic like a professional.
1. Bring Three Project Topics
Do not go to your supervisors office with one project topic. This makes you look like you are not prepared. Bringing many project topics also makes you look confused.
It is better to bring three project topics that you have thought about carefully. Rank them in order of importance. Start with the project topic that you think is the best. Be ready to talk about the other two project topics if your supervisor does not like the first one.
2. Talk About the Problem
Most students start by telling their supervisor the title of their project topic. For example “The Impact of Digital Marketing on Small Businesses.”. Your supervisor does not care about the title. They care about the problem that you want to solve. So start by talking about the problem. Say something like “I noticed that many small businesses in Enugu are not doing well even though they use media. I want to find out why this is happening.” This way you are showing your supervisor that your project topic is important and relevant.
3. Show That Your Project Topic is Feasible
The first question your supervisor will ask is whether you can actually complete the project. So be prepared to answer this question. Tell your supervisor where you will get the information you need for your project.
For example you can say, “I have already found out that I can get the information I need from the Ministry of Finance.“. “I have found a database of people who are willing to answer my survey questions.” This shows your supervisor that you have thought about how you will do your project and that it’s possible to complete it.
4. Show That Your Project Topic is Up-to-Date
Your supervisor does not want to see a project topic that’s old and outdated. So make sure you show that you have looked at research on your project topic. Mention that you have read articles and books from 2021 to 2026. This shows that your project topic is current and relevant.
5. Be Considerate of Your Supervisors Time
Your supervisor is a person and may not have a lot of time to talk to you. So choose a time to go to their office. Do not go when they are in a hurry or when they are about to leave for the day. Go when the office is quiet and your supervisor is not busy.
Also be. Bring a brief summary of your project topic. This should include what you want to do why you want to do it. How you will do it. This shows that you are professional and serious about your project.
6. Show That You Are Really Interested in Your Project Topic
Your supervisor wants to see that you are really interested in your project topic and that you have thought about it carefully. So explain why your project topic is important to you and why you want to do it. Show that you have thought about how your project topic affects people in Nigeria. This shows that you are committed to your project and that you will do a job.
