General Information

Part of conducting research is considering not only the topic, purpose, audience, but the manner in which your information will be conveyed. With digital and online media being the predominant forums for information capture and availability, research is multi-dimensional and consists not only of just words, but colorful visual dynamic elements that present information and that enable audiences to participate directly in the topic they relate to.

As you read through the assigned The Everyday Writer chapters, watch the posted videos, and read the sample research proposal, think about not just a topic of research but how that research would be presented in papers you would write in future courses.
