Library Tutorial
What type of assignment is it?
Your research assignment may include one or MORE of the following:
- Reporting on a topic
- Reviewing the state of research in a given area
- Reading and critically analyzing a text (you may be asked to "discuss" "compare and contrast" or "react to" the text)
- Investigating and taking a stand on an issue
- Generating an original thesis and using the information you find in the library to support your point.
You may be expected to deliver your research in the form of a written report, an oral presentation, or even a project.
Be sure you understand what your instructor expects. Your assignment will affect the type and the amount of information
you need.
If you are not clear about what is being asked of you, talk to your professor before you begin your research. Also, if your instructor gives you a handout explaining the assignment, you may find it helpful to refer to that sheet as you begin your research.
