a rookie's guide to research: the research process

A Rookie's Guide to Research addresses the research process through a step-by-step approach enabling the beginning researcher at any age or educational level to develop a successful paper. Twelve steps lead the writer from choosing a topic to presenting a finished research paper. The manual addresses each step with specific guidelines and illustrations. Directions are clearly written in a nonintimidating, uncluttered format.

While it is better to have a teacher work with a class as students begin a research paper, a student could use this research guide independently and produce an acceptable research paper. An extensive appendix provides in-depth help for assessing one's progress and for building stronger sentence and paragraph structure.
