Questions to get you started

Understanding your assignment is the first step. Ask yourself some questions.

What are you being asked to do? Are you fact finding? Persuading? Problem-solving? Analyzing information?

Is it a group project? Or are you working alone?

What should your final product look like? A research paper? An oral presentation? A PowerPoint presentation?

Knowing where you are going makes it easier to start!
