I was wondering if i could gather peoples opinions and advice on the new knowledge section of a PhD proposal. My tutor said that this section on my original proposal that i didn't go into enough detail. My second proposal i went into a lot of detail and discussed all the data in terms of the types of materials people recycle on campus. I got told this should be in the methodology section. That my next attempt i should go into even more detail but he made the example of examinable data concerning the amount that people recycle and said that i can just give a list of examples. This is about my sixth attempt at rewriting it and i am starting to confuse myself now.
Thank you for reading.

New knowledge - this is related to the results. What do you expect some of your findings to be that will be NEW (no one else has found that before)
