Revised Research Plan

Revised Research Plan:
1.Begin with general sources. Look at the humanities reference section, it's a great resource for understanding a broad topic or literary theory. I would also say at this point to explore Wikipedia and social networking systems (mainly Delicious.com). This is the time to just gain general knowledge on the subject, and to start formulating a thesis.
2. Search the more scholarly sources. I love JSTOR and the LRC. They are, in my opinion, the best databases to use if one is searching for articles on a particular subject.
3. Define solid thesis. With the more scholarly resources one should have a sense of what kind of evidence is out there and if their claim can be supported.
4. Outline ideas for paper, find specific questions to research for.
5. Research, research, research. Look at the articles online, and extend into books, which are still with all this technology, extremely important. Take notes while researching and mark the sources they come from so it's easier to cite later.
6. Make solid outline of paper and begin writing. (Research can still be going on at this point)
7. Finish draft and have as many people as possible look at it. Great idea to use the professor at this point or any earlier points for tips or an idea if you're going in the right direction (although that might be better at an earlier stage).
8. EDIT
9.Re-write final draft, cite all sources.
10. Turn in.
11. Make amazing grade and pass class.
