Choosing a research topic

Start with a good topic

Brainstorm a Topic that Interests You:

Think of topics for which you have:

  • personal interest,
  • knowledge or life experience
  • an opinion
  • a desire to learn more

If no topic seems interesting:

  • take 5 minutes and write down any ideas related to the assignment that come to mind, then look at what you wrote for a pattern or an idea that stands out.
  • review your course textbook(s) and class notes for something interesting.
