The Research Process: A Step-by-Step Guide

Tip!

Start writing early. Use writing as a means of exploration and discovery to organize and coalesce your ideas and thoughts. Do not write an essay from beginning to end, but start with what you are ready to write and then figure out where it fits in to the essay.
