1 “The Research is much apprehensive with proper fact finding, 2 CO1 L3 4.4.1
analysis and evaluation.” Do you agree with this statement? Give
reasons in support of your answer.
2 Logically arrange a flow chart diagram showing different steps 3 CO1 L2 4.4.1
involved in a research process. Also show the feedback points in the
diagram.
3 Explain in the context of research objective - “A research scholar 5 CO2 L3 4.4.1
has to work as a judge and derive the truth and not as a leader who is
only eager to prove his case in favour of his plaintiff.”
