Hmmm?! I need to know this! Do I really care? Why? Does anybody know already? How could I find out? Let’s gather some evidence! So what have I learned? But what if? The answer is 42! Wow! Hmmm!? Anatomy of a research project/paper Wow! Hmmm?! I need to know this! Title I need to tell everybody! Abstract Do I really care? Why? Introduction I. Does anybody know already? Introduction II. How could I find out? Methods Let’s gather some evidence! Data So what have I learned? Results But what if? Discussion The answer is 42! Wow! Hmmm!?

Who has already studied this question? What did they find? Where is the boundary between known and unknown in this area? Where is the knowledge gap? How could ... be determined/measured? Which methods can be used? How they differ? What are their limitations? How can the answer distilled from the data? How will I analyze it? Assignments finalize topics; email title and authors by March 14 (optional) literature minireview concerning the question prepare a 15-30 minutes presentation
