Due: February 28, 2014    Evaluation: 5% of final grade
Your outline should include the following items (in this order):
•    The title of your paper and your topic
•    Your research question
•    The structure of your paper (list the different points you intend to cover in your paper in the order you will be presenting them)
•    A bibliography of relevant academic sources (minimum of 3 academic sources) Remember:
•    Unlike a thesis (which chooses and supports one side of an issue), a research question is like a third party trying to decide which side is better given all the evidence
•    Make sure your research question is not too broad
•    do brainstorming that breaks your topic up into subunits
•    Keep asking yourself questions (who? what? where? how? why?)
•    Always keep asking 'so what?' 'who cares?'
•    DO NOT USE WEBSITES AS A SOURCE. Wikipedia is not a valid source.
•    The Internet is a place to start, then follow the references. Evaluate your own research question1
Ask the following 8 questions to evaluate the quality of your research question and the ease with which you should be able to answer it:
1.    Does the question deal with a topic or issue that interests me enough to spark my own thoughts and opinions?
2.    Is the question easily and fully researchable?
3.    What type of information do I need to answer the research question?
4.    Is the scope of this information reasonable?
5.    Given the type and scope of the information that I need, is my question too broad, too narrow, or okay?
6.    What sources will have the type of information that I need to answer the research question (journals, books, internet resources, government documents, people)?
7.    Can I access these sources?
8.    Given my answers to the above questions, do I have a good quality research question that I actually will be able to answer by doing research?
