Tutorial - post-oral presentation 2017 1. Some general advice on oral presentation feedbacks 1.1. On practical value (targeted readers and specific concerns of them). 1.2 On academic value (how your findings contribute to the knowledge of your topic) 2. Other Independent Study quality issues 2.1 On research objectives, research questions and research design 3. The importance of literature review in developing themes, research questions and informing research design, etc.. 4. Pay attention to specific oral presentation feedbacks, do more study and enhance your report ideas. 4.1 What if my progress report has been rejected? 4.2 what if multiple regression analysis cannot be performed due to insufficient data? Try correlation with 2 variables, e.g. (re: FB page on correlation analysis ) 5. In case of further questions, contact me by email and then by phone to review the remaining issues. Keep studying and refining your ideas as you make progress in  your IS  wo

Key words: cognitive mapping, homelessness, literature review Introduction The topic of homelessness is complex.
