The Research Idea
Choosing a research topic is the first important step in any research process. The topic needs to be focused and the overall intended research should be feasible, with clear expectations regarding the contribution it is expected to make to academia.

For this week's Discussion Question, you present your motivation for doing research by considering your own interests in a specific research field. In addition, you discuss if/how your proposed topic has been studied previously by making reference to two published papers in your field.

• Is there anything about this challenge/problem that you would like to explore in further detail, and why?

These solutions may offer step-by-step problem-solving explanations or good writing examples that include modern styles of formatting and construction of bibliographies out of text citations and references. Students may use these solutions for personal skill-building and practice. Unethical use is strictly forbidden.
