Organizing Your Research
Exercises

  1. Use the suggestions in this OWL to create and carry out a research strategy for a paper, speech, or other research project you have been assigned. Keep a research process journal in which you record your questions, sources you use, terminology you use, successes or changes you need to make, and useful sources you find. At the end, evaluate your strategy. What did you learn about doing research?
  2. If you don't have a suitable research project currently under way, use one of the suggested topics in the exercises for OWL 4, or think of one on your own. Do the research, keep the journal, but don't write the paper.
