Research Tutorial

Consider the following when developing a research question:

Is it an open-ended question?​

Is it appropriate in scope? Focused and narrow enough for your project or paper?

Does it suggest factors that can be measured?​

​Is it relevant to my audience?

Is answering the question manageable, and can I find and access enough documents, statistics, or persons to provide information to develop and support my ideas?​

Is the topic of interest to me?​
