Finding a good topic will involve research. As you browse through the sources highlighted below, look for:
- Topics that interest you and/or intersect with what you are learning in class; engaging with a topic is a key to success.
- Keywords and subject terms for main concepts; using these terms will help you find information more effectively in the databases or websites
- Where authors disagree (usually in the introduction) or areas for more research (usually at the end of an article); these are subjects you can explore.
- Sources in the text and the reference section that may be useful to you.
- The names of key authors so you can find more of their works; key authors are those names you may observe several times.
