ENGL 202: Tutoring Theory & Practice

This subject guide covers the different Writing Studies resources the Tredway library has for you to use, as well as information on other places you can look to support your research needs.

Writing Informed Research Questions

Reminders about informed research questions:

 

  1. Incorporate or point to the scholarly understandings and perspectives you found when exploring your topic
  2. Ensure that your research question allows the consideration of other points of view
  3. Double-check that your question is appropriate for the scope of your assignment
  4. Avoid writing a question that can be answered with ‘yes’ or ‘no’ and would not require further explanation 

 

**Remember that your approach to your topic can, and probably should, evolve over time as you encounter new information that changes or challenges your perspective.**
