Picking A Topic
Here you will find responses to questions that frequently come up as students are choosing a topic. The process of identifying and refining a topic can seem like a lot of work. However, it is crucial for your research and your writing. A good topic will hold your interest throughout the semester and also be something you can analyze within a 20-30 page paper.
- How should I choose a topic?
- What is a "research question"?
- Help! I can’t find a good topic!
- How do I know whether my topic is doable?
- What sort of topics and questions have others
done?
- What if my topic changes?
- How does my topic relate to the theme of the section I am in?
