    I think that my own question needed some tweaking.
    The new and revised version:
    How does China’s decision to censor Google limit the amount of academic information available to its students?

    Hey man,
    I think your new question is better than your old one. It might be challenging to find information related to your question since you would have to find out what information would be available to China’s students. I would suggest narrowing your question down to a specific subject such as historical information or new literature availability.

    I think that your first question would have been the one I might have ended up going with but I do agree with David. The new and revised question is definitely more detailed but it might be harder to get sources on it. I think it was a good idea that you were able to narrow it down to one specific personal liberty rather than a general idea. Although it seems harder to me now, it will probably benefit you when you begin to search for sources and keywords. I think the only thing that needs a bit of editing is what age limit of the students you are talking about.

    Yevgeniy, I think your second question is definitely better. Even though it is narrower, it is still something that can be researched. Geeta’s question about the age group of the students is a good one; you’ll want to specify whether you are talking about college students, high school students, etc. The way you have constructed the question still needs work. Try starting the question differently, maybe without using “how.” I don’t want to rewrite the question for you here, but I think if you can first do some reading around how academic information is or isn’t censored in China, that might suggest some other ways to word the question, or, better yet, ask a more pointed question.
