Top tips for research - part four

Here are two more research and study tips from The Fife & Tayside Wider Access Forum.


Nine: What new questions do you have?
The questions you started with were just that – starting points. Now your research has told you much more about the subject you are exploring, what new questions do you have? How can you try to answer them?

Ten: Think for yourself. Don’t just repeat other people’s ideas.
Having the chance to think for yourself and present your own ideas can be one of the great things about higher education. Enjoy that opportunity and make the most of it. Sadly, that can also be one of the hardest things. It takes a lot of hard work before you can know enough to come up with good ideas that require more time and effort through research to test. Work hard. Good luck.
