My Research Procedure

Usually after I find out what my topic is, I automatically try to form an outline or draft for my paper so I have a type of guideline to follow. My outline consists of what the main idea of my paper is and then details I need to find in order to back up my thesis statement. I guess that I should probably begin to do more background research instead of just trying to dive right into the research paper. As mentioned in class, I tend to just take the first page of results I find and give up after that. With my new knowledge of databases at Baruch, hopefully I will be able to form a better outline and more organized paper with a direct research question instead of a general topic.
