Research Methods


To be honest, I do not like doing any kind of research what so ever when it comes to writing a huge paper. But if I had to choose a method from table 13.2 that I found to be interesting, I would have to choose task 1, formulate a question. Often I find that I never know where to begin research because I do not know how broad or descriptive I should make it. If I come up with a specific question, I think research wouldn't be so bad. An example would be as followed. If a teacher asks me to research basketball and all I researched was the word basketball I would never finish my project. But if I research when basketball was created, I believe researching can become more interesting. My research question for the word deception would start off as, what is the definition of deception. Then it would turn into, a how question then into a where question. The method I would chose to use would have to be method of rhetorical criticism because it goes into great detail on specific questions.
