AWA: Academic Writing at Auckland

A Proposal focuses on the planning stage of problem solving. The writer explains a problem, criteria for a solution, possible solutions, the recommended solution, and a justification of this (Carter, as cited in Nesi & Gardner, 2012, p. 181). AWA proposals include Problem-solution texts, Policy Reports, Marketing Proposals, and Research Proposals, which are often used in third year to plan research which cannot yet be carried out.
