Best Practices and Tips for Success:
• Successful research documents facts, past events, the published or produced work and/or writing of experts which can be accessed, studied, and analyzed. Relevant, findable evidence deals with the present or the past. Documented evidence about the future does not exist. Speculation is not research. Confine it to your conclusion.
• The body of your paper should begin with your strong Central Claim, then support your claim with evidence from credible sources and your own analysis of that evidence.
• Make sure you understand each graded component. Follow instructions.
• A good final report balances both information from reputable sources and the writer’s own voice actively organizing, analyzing, and concluding from that information.
• Start early. Pace yourself. Leave time to WALK AWAY, revise, and edit.
Aim for high quality work, but not perfection. Perfectionism is often the enemy of completion and success.
