Choose a Topic
You may need to expand or narrow down your topic depending on how long
your paper needs to be. Obviously, a shorter assignment deals with a more limited
topic. Sometimes the topic is given to you; but if you have the freedom to choose,
ask yourself these questions (Booth et al., 2008, p. 14):
What Do I Feel Passionate About?
It is so much easier working on something you are genuinely interested in. Some
lecturers will let you modify a given research question to fit in with your area of
interest, so do not be afraid to suggest an alternative.
What Do I Want To Know?
Anticipate what you might need to know for a future job or situation. Use this
research opportunity to develop your knowledge and skills.
What Real-Life Issue Can I Explore?
Explore an issue that has a real-life answer. This makes the research
exciting, edgy, and meaningful.
