| What is a
topic? |
A topic is a narrowed aspect of a subject. It also reflects your
particular interest in the subject. For example, consider Ryan's subject
"mountain climbing." As
we have mentioned, hundreds of research
papers could be writen on that subject alone! Possible topics include
"hazards of mountin climbing" . . . or "women mountain climbers" . . . or
"amateur mountain climbing on Mt. Everest." Each of these topics might
have led Ryan to a viable research paper. Yet, by choosing just one
topic, Ryan did not have to read everything ever written on the subject
of "mountain climbing."
Think of the hours in the library Ryan saved! You
will too, once you narrow your subject into a topic. |
