Some tips when choosing a topic:
1. INTEREST - Choose a topic of interest to you; a topic boring to you will result in a boring paper.
2. KNOWLEDGE - You don't need to know much about the subject as you begin your paper.
The research process mines new information.
3. TOO BROAD OR TOO NARROW - Too broad a topic is unmanageable, e.g. "The History of Education" or "Computes
in Schools." On the other hand, too narrow and/or trivial a topic is extremely difficult to research.
4. GUIDELINES - Carefully, follow the instructor's guidelines: they should help prevent you selecting an
inappropriate topic and/or research methodology.
You can get ideas for research topics from several WCC databases and from the Web
