PREFACE

Research work can be carried out at any level of learning in the western world under graduate student are not required to carry out research project, the way are do it have in Nigeria, as a requirement for awarding them first degrees. There research project are research for mastering learning a the master and PHD level.

            There are some masters without thesis and some with limited research requirement here in Nigerian national diploma student are required by some teacher to carryout standard research project even through such student do not have the requisite research knowledge to do that effectively and honestly. It is hoped that after going through this research work teachers should be able to determine the level of research knowledge required of research students at any of the levels of learning. Beginning researchers will no longer he intimidated or scared of research but should be able to honestly carry out simple research studies.
