In tutorial 2, I discussed the following two topics:

1. Research Objectives: you need to describe your research objectives as:  to find out, to explain, to evaluate, to predict, to develop (e.g. a new theory) and to recommend. etc
2. Justification: you need to justify your research objectives in terms of practical value and academic value of your project; you also need to justify your research design in terms of relevance to your research objectives and research quality criteria, e.g. validity, relevance, reliability. etc.
