| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Define a reasonable goalfor your research, | one that is doable given your time and resources |
| Spend time considering your own background assumptions and theoretical perspective | and how they might influence your research |
| Spend time thinking about how to operationalize your key concepts | and how they can fit into a testable hypothesis |
| Do not let the methods drive your research. | Make sure your research question drives your choice of methods |
| Consider whether more than one method might | be useful for providing converging evidence for your results. |
