Lack of parking may be problem. Lack of parking is problematic when we frame it as deliberate government policy to discourage the use of private cars and construct it as a social experiment. - recent studies have shown: Just too vague. First, you need to cite the research to which you are referring. Second, your thesis will be published some time hence, and the idea of what is recent may well have no relevance when it is. Not only that, but anyone reading your thesis years hence will have no idea when this recent is.

They will be separate groups of students in the Schools of Education, Behavioural Science and Social Sciences, Nursing, Psychology, Science, Physical Education, and Engineering. They will be drawn from First, Second and Third Years in these Schools. The ethics committee will want to know why you are conducting this research. A response like, “to get my PhD” does not help them in determining the ethics implications of what you are doing, so again, be clear about this. Tell them, in lay terms, the aims, research objectives key research questions, and significance of the project you want to undertake: This research seeks to gain a deeper understanding of the requirements for more effective integration of group work in teaching and learning for students who will enter the professions when they graduate, an approach which a review of the literature suggests is innovative within modes of university education (see for example [citation]).

The committee is made up of a number of people with different backgrounds; not all are active or even retired researchers themselves, and even if they are, they are not necessarily knowledgeable in your field. Many are wider community members with an interest in what we do; only some are academics or researchers themselves. Many are retired from professions such as nursing, teaching, the law, and the police force, and some are not professionals at all. Others may be temporarily out of the workforce.
