Clarifying Your Research Assignments

 

 Before you begin your research, read over the assignment carefully. If you do not understand what is expected, be sure to ask your instructor to clarify the assignment. Some things to think about are:

 

• What is the purpose of the assignment?
• What is the format? (e.g.: argumentative essay, research paper, debate, oral presentation)
• How long will it be? (e.g.: the number of pages or the number of minutes)
• What miscellaneous sources might you include? (e.g.: maps, graphs, illustrations, bibliography, interviews, video)
