Last Updated: Aug 08, 2025 Views: 238
You should always consult with your instructor first about a research topic. They can provide valuable input as well as ensure that your topic meets the requirements of the assignment. You may also want to do a general search on your area of interest to see what kind of information is available. We have many good online journal databases in a variety of subject areas. Wikipedia can also be a great resource for gaining basic knowledge about a topic or issue.
AI tools such as ChatGPT, Co-Pilot, and Claude can be helpful in summarizing a general topic. Be mindful, however, of the limitations of generative AI and only include your original work in your coursework - don't copy and paste.
