The document discusses developing a good research question. It defines a research question as an actual question asked about a topic. It explains that having a research question helps focus one's research by providing an angle on the topic. The document provides guidance on how to create a good research question, such as picking a topic, narrowing it, asking questions, and focusing the question with who, what, where, when. It also outlines how to evaluate if a research question is good by ensuring it focuses on one issue, demands analysis, and uses precise words. Finally, it states that a good research question can be developed into a thesis statement.
This document provides information and guidance about research for students. It defines research as investigating and collecting information from multiple sources to organize in a meaningful way. Research is done to learn, for fun, to share information, and to become an expert. Students, scientists, lawyers, doctors, teachers and actors all do research. A topic is the main idea being researched, while a subtopic is a smaller part of the main topic. The document provides examples of topics and subtopics and gives tips for choosing a research topic, finding information sources, taking relevant notes, writing a bibliography, and evaluating credible websites for research.
Research involves investigating topics by collecting information from multiple sources and organizing it meaningfully. People conduct research to learn, for fun, to share information, or to become experts in certain areas. Researchers include scientists, lawyers, doctors, teachers, actors, and students. When choosing a research topic, one should pick a subject they find interesting and can find adequate information on to learn something new without it being too difficult. Information can be found through books, interviews, videos, magazines, newspapers, and credible websites like Kids.nationalgeographic.com and Kidsclick.org. Taking notes requires focusing on what is important and relevant to the topic while paraphrasing and summarizing to avoid plagiarism.
The document provides guidance on conducting research for a school project on global classrooms. It defines research and lists different sources for facts, including print, online, and in-person sources. Useful print sources are dictionaries, encyclopedias, newspapers, and maps. Recommended online sources are news articles, websites of organizations, and government sites. The document also offers tips for effective research, such as having a question, taking notes, citing sources, and avoiding plagiarism.
How to create a well constructed survey final copySierra Patterson
One of the most important quantitative techniques that social science or UX researchers can rely on is the survey. Surveys are used in a number of disciplines, and can prove to be incredibly useful when applied to a mixed methods approach, or when looking to gather information about a large population of people. However, surveys can be over-used and poorly designed, thus providing inaccurate data and a biased picture of your user/participant population. This talk is designed to help survey creators mitigate these issues; as well as to introduce the ins-and-outs of surveys, from creation to data analysis.
The document discusses the differences between popular and scholarly resources. Popular resources include magazines and newspapers, while scholarly resources are journals and periodicals. It then lists several key aspects to examine when evaluating whether a source is popular or scholarly, such as the author's credentials, the structure and language used, references and citations, specialized vocabulary, and length. Scholarly sources have authors with credentials, follow a defined structure, use specialized language, cite references, and tend to be longer than popular sources.

Cohesive devices are linguistic elements like words or phrases that link different parts of a text together and help achieve unity. They show relationships between sentences like addition, contrast, comparison, sequence, and consequence. Common cohesive devices include conjunctions, pronouns, and lexical repetition. Cohesive devices help texts hang together as a coherent whole and improve readability and comprehension.
Academic reading what is it and how do you do itChuangDorinWang
The document provides guidance on how to conduct academic reading and research. It outlines several key steps:
1) Plan your search by identifying your topic, keywords, and potential sources of information.
2) Narrow your search by refining keywords and filtering results.
3) Evaluate potential sources based on factors like author expertise and date of publication.
4) Keep track of sources used through bibliographic management software.
Here are the key strengths and weaknesses of the research methods:
- Product research provided real examples to analyze but lacked context and only showed a limited perspective.
- The online questionnaire was efficiently distributed but had a low response rate, limiting insights. It also relied on self-reported data.
- Interviews allowed for follow up questions but only captured a small sample size. Responses may have been influenced by the interviewer.
Overall, triangulating multiple methods helped overcome some individual limitations but also resulted in large amounts of unsorted data. Focusing the research questions and analyzing responses systematically could have strengthened the findings. Further primary research may be needed to fill any gaps.
