Two key things that make a good research question:
- The data available on your topic is appropriate and relevant (McCombes, 2019).
- Framing your research question into a specific area of study (Bouchrika, 2001).

Hi Nicole,
Great points. I anticipate the data collection aspect of research will be one of the most challenging parts for me. Having to sift through what is relevant and what is not is a battle! What do you think will be your most challenging or interesting part of research?
Thanks!

Hi Terry, Yes, I think the data availability piece is huge and also the art of narrowing or refining the topic of your interest to a manageable scope while still having enough quality research to explore. Having said that I am looking forward to gaining some stills around “narrowing down the art of possibility” as this often derails me a bit if my ideas are too broad. I find I typically end up with too much content vs trying to fill word counts………. not like it is all great words but they count nonetheless. Do you find you struggle with meeting word counts or do you end up with plenty ;
