Research Process


Research for me tends to be pretty easy as long as it is a well-known topic. My topic for this paper has been easy to find research for because it is well known and widely discussed. As for useful, research is a key part in this paper. By using research you’re more able to effective argue your opinion because you have outside evidence that is supporting your opinion. Using outside evidence helps by showing evidence from sources that generally have more experience and more information on the subject. We might know a little about our subject beforehand but that doesn’t make you an expert on the subject so by using outside evidence we can make more accurate claims. For this paper so far my research has come from library resources and whatever information I can find on Google. It has been easier to find more reliable sources on the library website but with Google I can be more general and broader on my subject so it brings more articles whereas with the library I have to be pretty specific about what I search in order to find anything. So far on this paper my research process has been pretty good because I was able to search for sources long before I started writing my paper. I don’t always have that opportunity so I tend to start researching as I’m writing my paper. If anything I would like to continue using this process because it has been more effective in writing my paper.

  1. I knew a lot about my topic before I researched it as well and this helped a ton. Having a background on the topic made it fairly simple to write. I think by having a good background on the topic it makes the paper more engaging and interesting.

  2. A topic is definitely a lot easier to search when it is known. That is why picking a known topic is always less stressful when writing a paper on it.

  3. Having a background knowledge for a topic really helps with trying to research about it. With my topic I realized I really didn't knew much about what I was talking about to begin with.
