Choosing a Research Topic
Picking Your Topic IS Research!
Choose a broad subject that is of interest to you
Do some exploratory research - is there enough information available for you to complete the assignment?
Do you need to get more specific? Do you need to tweak your topic? This might require a few rounds of trial and error.
Finally, you should end up with a quality research question that will guide your next searches, and the writing of your paper.
