Tips Read selectively: There is never enough time to read every article
written about your topic.
You can’t learn every tiny detail about a subject, or you’ll never stay within your deadline. Focus especially in the important facts.
Documentaries and different media information are quick ways to soak up facts and build arguments.
Keep a detailed log of what you’ve already searched (key words, related topics, etc.) and how you searched (library catalogue, online, etc.)
TAKE NOTES! Sort through your notes/research by grouping the information you’ve collected in points and sub-points.
PRINTING IS THE EASIEST WAY TO GATHER INFORMATION
