    After you have narrowed your topic down, it is a good idea to...

    • Think of another topic, just in case.

    • Write a research question.

    Correct Answer
    A. Write a research question.
    Explanation
    After narrowing down your topic, it is a good idea to write a research question. This helps to define the specific focus of your research and provides a clear direction for your study. A research question allows you to formulate a hypothesis, gather relevant information, and conduct a systematic investigation. It also helps to ensure that your research remains focused and avoids unnecessary tangents or deviations. By having a well-defined research question, you can effectively structure your study and find meaningful answers to your research objectives.

    • Help you decide your research topic.

    • Come up with words to use later when searching.

    • Both A & B

    Correct Answer
    A. Both A & B
    Explanation
    Brainstorming is a creative technique that involves generating ideas and solutions to a problem or topic. It is used to help individuals come up with new and diverse ideas, which can be applied to various situations. In the context of the given question, brainstorming can be used to help decide a research topic by generating a range of potential ideas and areas of interest. Additionally, brainstorming can also be used to come up with relevant keywords or search terms that can be used later when conducting research or searching for information. Therefore, the correct answer is both A and B.

    True or False, the librarian will tell me what topic to choose if I feel stuck.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the librarian may not necessarily tell you what topic to choose if you feel stuck. While librarians are knowledgeable and can provide guidance, it ultimately depends on their individual approach and the resources available. They may assist you in finding relevant materials or suggest strategies to overcome the feeling of being stuck, but they may not directly tell you what topic to choose.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    What are search terms?

    • Search terms are the same thing as your research question.

    • Search terms are the most important terms from your research question.

    • Neither A nor B.

    Correct Answer
    A. Search terms are the most important terms from your research question.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Search terms are the most important terms from your research question." This is because search terms are the specific words or phrases that are used to search for information in a search engine or database. These terms are usually the key concepts or keywords from your research question that help to narrow down and focus your search results. By using the most important terms from your research question as search terms, you can retrieve more relevant and targeted information for your research.
