The Research Process:
Before you settle on a topic, it is a good idea to explore a bit first! The library is a great resource for background information!
Now that you've done some background research, it's time to narrow your topic! Remember: the shorter your final paper, the narrower your topic needs to be.
After you have decided on a topic, you will need to begin searching for resources. Will you need books, articles, or something else?
After you have found sources, you will need to decide if they are the right ones to use for this assignment.
Now it is time to pull together all of your research into your assignment. Tie together your research into a compelling argument. VCSU's Learning Commons can help with that!
Once your paper is written, you are going to want to double check your citations and formatting. What style are you using? APA? MLA? Turabian? Journal of Wildlife Management?
