Assignment Goal | Assignment Overview |
Early in the research process, you will work to locate sources that offer a valuable perspective on the specific topic you are pursuing. Your goal in this first assignment is to choose one of the sources you referenced in The Research Process: Gathering Sources discussion forum this week to evaluate more fully. To do that, you will need to identify the main ideas in your source, respond to them, and evaluate the overall information. As you begin to plan and execute your assignment, be mindful of the balance between your ideas and thoughts and those represented in the source article, so you can extend and elaborate on the conversation surrounding your topic. |
