The Research Process
Research is a process. Knowing that process will make your lives so much easier. Here are the basic steps:
1. Explore: explore your topic using resources to get background information and build a base of knowledge
2. Ask : Develop a question or questions based on what you learned from your exploratory research and what you want to know (& suspect)
3. Find: Find and evaluate resources that will help you answer your question
4. Gather: Gather info from your sources, keeping track of where you got your information (note-taking and bibliography)
5. Connect: Connect the information you've gathered to your original question
· Reevaluate (does the information answer my question, is it sufficient? does it point me to another question?)
In the end, CARE about your research (Connect And Re-Evaluate)
6. Presentation: Presentation of information (paper, poster, etc.)
