Choosing a Topic
CHOOSING A TOPIC
Choosing a topic is one of the hardest steps in the research process. You want to choose a topic that is relevant and interesting but that also matches your assignment's requirements. Watch this video for helpful tips!
TEST YOURSELF
Based on the tips in the video above, if your initial search in a library database returns 100,000 results, what should you do next?
Go to Google to find more sources
Before you go to Google, perhaps you just need to refine your search to a more narrow topic.
Narrow down your topic
Correct!
Get a completely new topic
No need to completely start over, you just need to narrow the topic.
This is a good starting point, begin reading the research
100,000 results is too many results, you should narrow your topic more before beginning to read the research.
