Research Question (post 2)

Your investigation topic broadly states your area of interest; it is the point of entry into your project. Your research question (or questions) should be more clearly defined than your general topic; it (or they) will guide your investigation from this point forward. A clearly defined research question is

• deeply interesting to you
• neither too broad nor too narrow
• researchable

*In this post, you should simply state your research question or questions.

Writing

The writing in a research question should be academic and formal. No personal pronouns!
