Abstract

This chapter is written with behavioural science students and emerging scholars in mind. Behavioural science in this context includes but is not limited to management sciences, social sciences, psychology, education, and any discipline that deals with human actions. The chapter is written to sharpen the knowledge and skills of students in these areas in writing a good quality research report (at advanced undergraduate level), thesis, or dissertation (at postgraduate level). The chapter has valuable hints that will guide behavioural science students and emerging scholars in writing good quality research reports, theses, or dissertations. The hints will also be helpful for supervisors and mentors in guiding and assessing their student's work. A research project, thesis, or dissertation is essential for graduation from tertiary institutions. The need, therefore, to write good quality research reports requires that students possess the necessary knowledge and skills in writing.
