Getting organized

The teacher may have already designed your research experience for you, explaining how he wants you to organize your resources and notes to make sure you will have everything you need to complete your project. This plan is called a research model. If you want to make sure you stay organized, using a Research Model might be a good idea.

This Research Guide is one example of a Research Model, you can follow the guide, step by step, and hopefully you will stay organized.
You should be familiar with a few different Research Models because although the goals are the same... successful completion of the research assignment... there may be one model that works best for you. The more different approaches you know about, the better the chance that you'll find one that works for you.
