This is a research platform that will take you through six steps to develop and refine your research skills. This can be used for assignments, mini-projects, essays and class work.
It is important to take notes when conducting research for an essay, assignment or research task. You can create notes on paper, in a word document or other program. Your notes don't have to be detailed, but to the point. Taking notes helps you to understand the content of what you are researching as well as developing the skill of note taking. It is also helpful to record authors and titles for your Reference List.
Cornell Notes is an effective way to take note and keep a record of your research.
There are many freely available sources of statistics on just about every indicator imaginable.
Have a think about the statistics you need and identify which authoritative organisations might collect that type of data and make it available to the public.
Browse their websites or refine your Google search to include that organisation's name or domain (e.g. add .gov.au to find information from Australian government websites).
