Section 1: Choosing a Research Topic

Choosing an area of interest

Most of the time, you will have a general theme you are interested in exploring.

When choosing an area to investigate:

  • Choose something that is of genuine interest to you
  • Choose something that is relevant to the assignment
  • Choose something that is significant enough to warrant research being performed on it

As an example, you might decide that you want to take a closer look at the general area of censorship.
