Description: On growing life, simply and faithfully.
Thirteen years after completing my bachelor’s degree in English I’m finally back in school working on an M.A in Composition. Between my day job as a college career coach, my classwork, and the usual family and home priorities, writing on this blog just isn’t happening. Until now, when I get to share an assignment for my research methods class as a blog post.
In this post, I share some tips to choose a research topic, how and where to find credible sources, tips for citing sources in writing, and a couple of my favorite sources so far to learn more. This information is shared from my research experience for my work in Career Services and Student Success in a college setting . I also share some general tips that are helping me make the leap into writing for master’s coursework after over a decade of being out of school.
An important foundation to any research writing is choosing a topic that is personally motivating and professionally practical. While I’m currently only two classes into my master’s, getting this right is making the difference between my undergrad work and my current work. A clear invigorating topic brings me back to the computer and is useful in my work. Here are some ways I’ve chosen research topics that are motivating and practical.
