Research Topic Post This term you will be researching a topic related to your major or career goals at Wiregrass. For example, if you are studying cosmetology, you might want to research licensing requirements in various states or issues related to types of techniques, technologies or products available to cosmetologists. If you arent sure, ask one of you instructors if there are any interesting topics to research in your particular area of study. First, read chapters 3.1 Choosing a Research Methodology and 3.2 The Writing Process: Researching in Essential Communication Skills. You will be engaging in formal secondary research, which means you will be finding authoritative, credible sourcing support your ideas. One of the keys to successful research is the use of databases to find authoritative sources. Access GALILEO and use the database EBSCOhost/Business Source Complete (you can also try other databases!). Choose a journal or topic that aligns with your program at Wiregrass, and browse the articles and see if there is a topic that interests you. Use what you learn from these articles to search for more articles to develop your ideas. You can use different databases, or just search all of GALILEO. Open-web sourcing is allowed, but I would like you to start on GALILEO. Next, you will upload a Word or PDF document formatted according to APA guidelines containing a paragraph of at least a half a page describing the topic you think you would like to explore for your research essay. Give the reasons for your selection and explain what interests you about this topic. Provide constructive feedback to at least two of your classmates. *In all discussion posts, constructive feedback is defined as thoughtful, specific, and conversational. Answers that are purely complimentary (good job!) or otherwise non-specific (I wrote the same thing!) will not be given credit.
