Welcome...

to the Thurston Community College Critical Research Study blog!

Look out for the useful links on the right to get you started with your web based research. Do remember that the net is just one place to look. Don't forget libraries (you know, books and that), journals, magazines, newspapers, films, television, radio, official reports, statistics, textbooks - and that's just for secondary research methods...

Keep checking back here regularly as new posts go up.

This unit allows you to really get your teeth into a topic that you are keen on.

I can't stress enough the importance of studying something that interests you personally. This makes it soooo much easier to take ownership of the project and this will come through in your writing. Remember that one thing the examiner is looking for in this paper is a sense of argument; much easier to construct an argument around something you are enthusiastic or passionate about, right?

Happy researching!
