 Write a note on literature review and methodology in thesis writing. 
Answer: The rationale behind the literature review consists of an argument with two lines of analysis: 1) this research is needed, and 2) the methodology I have chosen is most appropriate for the question that is being asked. Now, why would you want to wait? Now is the time to get informed and to learn from others who have preceded you! If you wait until you are writing the dissertation it is too late. You've got to do it sometime so you might as well get on with it and do it now. Plus, you will probably want to add to the literature review when you're writing the final dissertation

ENG301 - Business Communication - Q.No. 30    ( M - 5 )
 In extemporaneous method of oral presentation how does the presenter conduct his presentation?
Answer:
Extemporaneous
This method of delivery is very carefully planned and practiced. In it, the speaker, makes a presentation with the help of an outline, note cards, or visual aid. It is very popular and effective method of delivering a speech. In this way the speaker can glance at his notes, keep eye contact and speak in a natural, conversational tone. Reading In this method the whole presentation is read aloud. It helps a speaker when the presentation has technical or complex topic. If you choose to read your speech, practice enough so that you can still have eye contact with your audience, otherwise, your speech may become boring. For reading, some speakers use a page style similar to a TV script, leaving a left margin of about one-third of the page. In that wide margin are pronunciation aids or suggestions as to where to look in an audience.
