My topic is about the differences of education systems are different in America and China. When I first started my research I was going to narrow my topic down to the faults in each of the systems mostly because I was having a hard time finding anything good about them. In class Dr. D gave me the key word "curriculum". Let me tell you, key words can make or break research. I immediately found tons of sources, looked in their bibliography's, and found more sources. Now my topic has moved towards the differences in how the curriculum of the two countries differ, and the differences in the way they teach.
For my primary resource I am lucky enough to have Kanis, a chinese exchange student, answer some of my questions. I haven't interviewed her yet because I am going to do all of my other research first but I have a feeling she is going to be very helpful.
That sounds like an interesting topic! I bet it'll be helpful having an exchange student living with you as a reliable source.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the keyword shift was helpful! Key words can definitely make or break research, and sometimes it takes a while to find the right key words to get what you need. I'd been meaning to check in with you about that.
