Research Project Assignment:
The English word research comes to us from the Old French cercher “to seek, which reminds us that the point of research is to find answers. Research is not about justifying the idea you already have; it is about testing that idea and potentially discovering better ones.
With that in mind, this assignment asks you to consider multiple arguments on a particular issue and answer a relatively plain question: What does someone need to know in order to best understand an issue and what sort of conclusion(s) does that understanding suggest would be best to draw?
