I am having an awful time trying to find a topic... any help would be appreciated
When choosing a topic for your independent research project, it is important to consider your interests and strengths. Look for a topic that you are passionate about and that will challenge you. It is also helpful to do some preliminary research to ensure that there is enough information and resources available for your chosen topic.
To ensure that your topic is appropriate for a high school level research project, it is important to consult with your teacher or mentor. They can provide guidance and offer suggestions for adjusting your topic to fit the scope and requirements of a high school project. You can also do some background research to see if other high school students have successfully completed research projects on similar topics.
Yes, you can choose a topic that has already been extensively researched as long as you have a unique angle or approach to the topic. Your research should also build upon existing studies and contribute new insights or findings. Be sure to properly cite and credit any previous research that you use in your project.
It is not necessary to choose a topic that is directly related to your intended college major or career path. However, if you have a specific interest or passion in a certain field, it may be beneficial to choose a topic that aligns with those interests. This will allow you to further explore your interests and develop skills that may be useful in your future studies or career.
Narrowing down your topic to a manageable research question can be challenging, but there are a few strategies you can use. One approach is to brainstorm a list of questions related to your topic and then choose one that you are most interested in exploring. You can also consult with your teacher or mentor for guidance and feedback on potential research questions. It is important to choose a research question that is specific and focused, rather than too broad or general.
