If you are a Masters student at the University of Dodoma (UDOM), you are writing under one of the strictest research directorates in Tanzania. The Directorate of Postgraduate Studies (DPGS) has confirmed the use of advanced software to ensure academic integrity.

The biggest hurdle in 2026 isn’t just the formatting—it is the Turnitin Plagiarism Checker.

UDOM has officially confirmed Turnitin as the mandatory software for checking plagiarism and AI generation in dissertations and proposals. If you are looking for the UDOM research proposal format and a way to use AI tools like ChatGPT safely, this guide is for you.


The Spear: Immediate Solutions for UDOM Masters Students

The Turnitin Warning

UDOM’s Turnitin settings are rigorous. They do not just check for “copy-paste”; they check for AI writing patterns. If you generate your “Statement of the Problem” using AI, Turnitin will flag it as “Artificial.”

  • The Risk: A high AI score leads to immediate rejection by the DRPC/DPGS.
  • The Solution: You need a human expert to measure your document before you submit it to the official portal.

Exclusive Service: The “Safe” Check I offer a private, repository-free Turnitin check. I will measure your plagiarism and AI score and help you reduce it.

Price: 10,000 Tsh per check. Target: Masters Students Only.

Part 1: The Official UDOM Research Proposal Structure

According to the UDOM General Regulations and Guidelines for Postgraduate Programmes, your proposal must follow this specific hierarchy. Failing to adhere to this results in a “Major Corrections” verdict.

1. The Preliminary Pages

  • Title: Concise (under 20 words).
  • Table of Contents: Must use the auto-generated feature in Word.
  • List of Abbreviations: Mandatory.

2. Chapter One: Introduction

  • Background Information: Must flow from global to Tanzanian context.
  • Statement of the Problem: This is the most critical section. You must cite evidence (e.g., reports from BEST, NBS, or CAG) to prove the problem exists.
    • AI Danger: AI often invents this data. You must verify it.
  • Objectives: General and Specific (Must be measurable).

3. Literature Review

  • Theoretical Review: Which theory grounds your study?
  • Empirical Review: What have others found?
  • The Research Gap: What is missing?
    • Self-Plagiarism: If you are a UDOM staff member or former student, do not copy your old papers. Turnitin will flag it.

4. Methodology

  • Research Design: Explain why you chose it.
  • Sampling: Simple Random? Purposive?
  • Data Analysis: Will you use SPSS?

Part 2: How to Use AI “Safely” at UDOM

You are searching for an “AI fast proposal writer.” You can use AI, but you must use the “Spear” method.

Step 1: Ideation (Safe)

Use AI to generate the Outline.

  • Prompt: “Create a research objective structure for a study on [Your Topic] in Dodoma Region.”
  • Result: AI gives you the skeleton. You fill in the flesh.

Step 2: The “Inverted Pyramid” Writing Style

UDOM academic writing requires you to put the most important information first.

  • AI Style: “In the modern era, it is important to consider…” (Too slow).
  • UDOM Style: “Teacher retention in Dodoma rural districts has declined by 15%.” (The Spear).

Step 3: Measuring the Output

After writing, you must scan the document. If the AI score is above 0%, you are in the “Red Zone.”

Part 3: My Expertise – Measuring Plagiarism & AI

I do not just edit; I ensure compliance with UDOM’s specific Turnitin settings.

The “Confirmed Software” Check

Many students ask, “Which software does UDOM use?” Answer: Turnitin. Do not use free checkers like “Grammarly Free” or “SmallSEOTools” for final verification. They are not accurate enough for UDOM’s standards.

My Service Package (Tsh 10,000)

For just 10,000 Tsh, I will:

  1. Scan your document using the official Turnitin license (Repository-Free, so your work is not saved).
  2. Provide the Full Report: Highlighting exactly which sentences are flagged as Plagiarism or AI.
  3. Advise on Rewriting: I will teach you which words to change to lower the score.

Why pay 10k? Because resubmitting a rejected proposal costs months of time.

(Internal Link Opportunity: Budgeting is key. Read our Salary and Benefits Guide for 2025.)


Part 4: Frequently Asked Questions (UDOM Specific)

Q: What is the allowed plagiarism percentage at UDOM? A: Usually, the accepted threshold is below 20% or 15% depending on your College (e.g., CIVE, COED, CHSS).

Q: Can I use AI for the Literature Review? A: You can use it to find summaries, but you must write the review yourself. If Turnitin detects “AI paraphrasing,” you will be summoned to the Directorate.

Q: How do I pay for the check? A: Payment is via mobile money to the numbers provided below.


Conclusion: Don’t Let Turnitin Stop Your Graduation

The UDOM research proposal format is manageable if you follow the rules. But the hidden enemy is the AI detector.

I have the tool. And I have the expertise. I know the price.

10,000 Tsh is a small price for peace of mind.
