Research Tips:
1. When doing research for an assignment, first think about what your topic or thesis is.
- Make a list.
- Start general with general terms.
- Then narrow down to more specific keywords.
- Don't type in whole sentences; stick to relevant
keywords.
3. Use the Boolean Operators with your keywords to include the results you want and filter out what you don't want. (Here's a youtube clip of how they work)
- AND, OR, NOT are the 3 Boolean Operators.

articles.
5. Begin with reading more general articles on your topic, then more specific ones about your thesis.
- You will find articles to support the different aspects of your essay and thesis.
