Choosing a Research Topic

Research is like searching for the answer to a specific intriguing question.
Focus on factual questions that will lead to a data-rich paper.

Narrowing the Topic of Your Research Paper

Strong research discusses the topic in depth, not broad scope.
Narrow your topic to allow for significant statements within the page limit.
Example: Fraternities (broad) --> [Specific aspect of fraternities] (narrow)

Choosing a Topic

Topic importance should drive the time and effort.
