Tips to Remember When Working on Your Research Project

Evaluate Your Sources
                Do you have an adequate number and variety of sources to convince someone of your opinion?
                Primary sources-firsthand account of event
                Secondary sources-what others have written about the event
                Are your sources appropriately used?
                Are you relying too heavily on one source?
                Are your sources reliable and accurate?

Give Credit Where Credit Is Due
                Plagiarism
                is a serious issue
                Alert the reader when you’ve summarized the words or thoughts of someone else
                Citations
                Insert at the ends of sentences, clauses, or phrases
                Provides author’s name and page number in parentheses next to reference

Think Before You Write
                Know what you are writing about. Develop an informed point of view on a topic and defend it. Support
                 every idea with adequate evidence. Create something that is your and yours alone
                Keep topic narrowed and focused
                You search and you re-search Skimming, scanning, and critical reading are essential skills
                Create an organization system that works for you Copy material, document every thing, meet your
                 deadlines
