The workshop focused on writing thesis proposal from four aspects  of what is the literature review, how to write literature review, present researching questions and write a qualified literature review. He also stated that presenting literature review is not simply listing academic viewpoints , and yet it requires critical thinking in  literature collections and selections. And then, Professor Wang based on his own experience of researching on how to present questions, structure the thesis  and review theory so as to write a good proposal and dissertation.
