Choose a topic and title

Choosing A Topic

• Determine what you're passionate about. The project requires several months of dedication and study, so it's vital that you select something that keeps you motivated.

• Identify areas where you can contribute original thought or research. Though it's important to be inspired by others' work, it's equally essential for your project to provide new insights or a fresh perspective.

• Ensure the topic is not too broad. It should be specific enough to discuss thoroughly in your project.

• Check if you can gather enough resources and access the information required about the chosen topic within your timeframe and resources.

• The topic should be complementary or relevant to your future career aspirations or further studies you wish to pursue.

Formulating a Suitable Title

• The title should provide a clear and concise summary of your project.

• Use specific terms and avoid jargon or overly complex language. It should be understandable to someone who knows nothing about your topic.

• Don’t be afraid to make your title a question. Sometimes, formulating your project as an inquiry can bring clarity and focus.

• Modify and adapt your title as your project evolves. Often, you'll find that your project direction may shift and change slightly as you delve deeper into your research.

• Finally, be creative. A unique and catchy title can draw attention and make your project stand out.
