Factors to consider before choosing school project topics
1. When choosing a project topic, pick something that has enough available information by doing a preliminary search.
2. School projects involve researching a topic and presenting findings through writing or multimedia. This requires finding, evaluating, and incorporating other researchers' work, not just your own knowledge.
3. Defining a focused research question is key to choosing a good topic. Brainstorm topics of interest and use keywords to search databases and websites for background information to help formulate a research question and thesis statement.

A step by step guide to report writing Step 1 Choose your top.docx
A step by step guide to report writing
Step 1 Choose your topic
If you are given a list of topics from which to choose, select the one that interests you the most or that may have relevance to your chosen career.
If you are allowed to create your own report topic choose a subject that you want to learn more about and that interests you or is a current problem in your workplace that you wish to address.
Step 2 Read the instructions relating to your assessments as set down in your Course Guide
Always check your course guide to ensure that you are clear about what you are required to do.
• When is the report due?
• How long is it?
• What is the format?
• What is the structure?
• How does this topic relate to the course?
• How does this topic relate to the current area being studied?
Step 3 Analyse the topic
Break the topic into its component parts to understand what the main issue is that must be addressed.
Report topics can usually be divided into three sections:
• Content What is the issue or problem to be addressed?
• Instruction What have you been asked to do in relation to the topic?
• Scope How has the topic been limited – is there a focus on particular organisations/ countries /year(s)?
Underline key words and draw circles around the action/instruction words.
It is really important that you understand what the instruction words are telling you to do.
Step 4 Brain storm – what do you already know about the issue?
A brainstorm is the beginning of a mind map – these random ideas can be organised into a structured mind map that will provide you with a guide for your research and your writing.
• Using your reading, lectures and your own experiences think about what you already know about the problem/issue.
• On a blank piece of paper, write down all the ideas that you think might be related to the subject under review
• Write down where you think you need to go to get information other than from books, journals websites etc. Think about who you know in business who you might be able to interview.
Step 5 Starting your research
Although you are required to read and research widely, it is better to gain an overview of the topic by firstly reading the recommended texts – don’t go straight online unless instructed to do so by your lecturer or tutor.
The texts will give you a broad understanding of .the main ideas, writers and theories associated with the issue.
By familiarising yourself with the key concepts, the next stage of your investigation will be more targeted.
Step 6 Mind mapping
A mind map is a visual way of gathering your ideas about a particular topic.
Mind maps help you to identify the main ideas and what research needs to be conducted to provide the evidence that supports these ideas.
Your mind map is a good time management resource. It will help you focus your search for information more efficiently and to organise your ideas into a coherent and logical structure when you write your .

The word research has many meanings ranging from visions of scien-
tists working in labs to students reading piles of articles and books.
The primary focus of this chapter is on students’ process of research
and incorporating that research into academic writing. An important
concept related to research is that it is a process, not a single action.
The process includes the following:
●● Developing a research plan
●● Finding research related to a topic
●● Evaluating the credibility of sources
●● Taking notes
●● Integrating the research into your writing
Knowing this process allows students to allocate their research
time accordingly. Let’s dig into the research process and explore
what’s available to you at the Kaplan University library.

Before beginning the research process, it is important to identify and
understand the two major types of research: primary and second-
ary. Primary research involves using firsthand sources for informa-
tion, where the material comes directly from an expert, researcher, or
writer. Primary research is the most credible type of research because
the information is original, and you, the researcher, will be the one

to gather and analyze the information. Examples of primary research
include interviews, surveys, originally authored articles, witness
reports, and court records. If you write a research paper that includes
an interview with an expert in the field, the paper is considered pri-
mary research.
Conversely, secondary research involves using information that
relies on primary research. Referencing someone else’s work (which
is based on a primary source) is secondary research. Examples of sec-
ondary research include citing statistics gathered by a university or
organization, referring to an individual’s quote found in a periodical
article or popular media, and book reviews or critiques. Table 11.1
notes common sources for the two types of research.

You can use both types of research, primary and secondary, in
your writing; the variety of using both types of sources adds valid-
ity and depth to the paper. You determine the need for either type of
research in your research plan.
