Class: SSH1099 Professor: Erin Jones Assignment: Writing Assignment #5: Research Process and 3 Sources Due: Friday, March 6 by 10pm (via Moodle)
The short of it: Find three sources that you believe will support your research project. Analyze these sources and write about the research process that it took to get you there.
The long of it: I want you to spend some time thinking about your research process. For three sources I want you to do the following things:
● Write about how you got to this source: What keywords did you use? Where did you look first? Why? What roadblocks did you incur? Think critically about the steps that you took while researching. Think of this part as a narrative.
● Explain why this source will be good for your research project: How does it support your research question? What sort of information does it provide? What have you learned from this source?
● Evaluate the source: Why is it trustworthy? Who is the author? Where was it published? What are the strengths of the source? Does the source have weaknesses? What are they? I’m looking for a short paragraph for each section. Nothing too intense. I’m looking for the thought put into this. On the next page, I’ve included a template for the writing assignment.
