Craft of Research-Chapter 3

This chapter was pretty interesting and it gave a lot of useful tips for developing a research topic. I like that gave a process for how to narrow a topic. A lot of times in the past I have picked topics for research papers and have been overwhelmed because they were too broad. The questions that this chapter gives to ask about your topic are very useful and I think they will be great tools to help me narrow a research topic. Another thing I really liked is the section on working from an indirect question to the significance. Again the tips and question given are very helpful for this process. In the end you should end up with an outline that states your topic, asks an indirect question, and then answers "So what?" This outline will set you up for the rest of your research paper.
