Topic:
Your topic should be as narrow as possible.
Having a very general topic makes for research to be very cumbersome.
For example: Instead of saying you will research "Computer Security" which is an extremely broad topic, think about a narrow topic like "Security Threats in the Android OS domain"
Abstract: This should be a description on what you topic will cover at the end of the 6 weeks. Your 250 words should cover the following;
- What is your chosen topic? Describe it briefly.
- What do you plan to research/survey on the chosen topic?
Advantages/ Disadvantages?
Compare and contrast?
Different kinds? (this is usually about technologies available out there)
- Why is this relevant?
