1. Start your assignment with an introductory paragraph about your research topic and why it is of interest and a research "puzzle." You want to guide your reader from your research area to your research topic, then on to your general research question, and specific research question. While there are many ways to frame a research question, at the graduate level, your research questions should be 1) open-ended and start with "How," "Why," "What," or "To what extent;" 2) should incorporate the variables you seek to assess and their relationship; and 3) should indicate how you intend to test the nature of that relationship. You want to make sure that your question has an appropriate amount of complexity so that it requires a significant amount of research and analysis. A simple Google search should not be able to answer your research question. Unclear: How can the need for power be harmful? Too simple: What is Hillary Clinton's position on Obama Care? Too simple: What is Hillary Clinton's operational code? Too broad: To what extent is Hillary Clinton different from Bill Clinton? Appropriately Complex and Focused: To what extent is Hillary Clinton motivated by a need for power by comparison to Bill Clinton, and how might this impact access and control of information within the White House? 2. Next, provide a purpose statement that conveys your intentions about what you hope to produce. See the reference in your Lessons and review that it will usually be prefaced by some phrase like the following: "This paper examines . . .," "The aim of this paper is to . . .," or "The purpose of this essay is to . . .". Remember that a purpose statement makes a promise to the reader about the development of the argument but does not preview the particular conclusions that the writer has drawn. Your purpose statement should demonstrate what you are hoping to find out, and also explain what you want your readers to understand (motivation or argument of the research).
