A dissertation introduction is not a detailed part of your project but as we have mentioned above, it will be clearly stating all these parts to maintain the level of interest and to give an overview of your proposal.

If you can add an outline of your dissertation in introduction part, you will definitely impress the checking person to a large extent. Outlining is to summarize each chapter first in a paragraph, and then only in a line. A small paragraph containing such lines which define whole chapters, is called an outline of the dissertation. Make sure that sentences are not unnecessarily repeated.
There are two small points that carry big value, the tenses you have to use in introduction and the length of introduction. Make sure to use present tense when you are discussing things which you are going to explore ahead. Present tense is used for your proposal plans and when you are entering background information, past tense or present perfect tense is recommended according to the demand of content. Secondly, you do not need to squeeze the introduction in a paragraph, keep it in your mind that abstract is something different than introduction. You can utilize a bit more space but make sure to not to repeat sentences. Your vocabulary can be questioned if you will repeat sentences.
