Why Should you be Interested in a Topic? (Info)

Why Should you be Interested in a Topic?

The second aspect of topic-selection is that you should be interested in the subject being discussed.

Just how interested you are depends on how long your reactions linger. If you immediately loose your enthusiasm you aren’t that interested. If it keeps nagging at you, you probably have an interest that will sustain you throughout the research.

Since you need a subject that will interest you long enough to complete the research process, use this rule to gauge your interest level. A solid research topic is always worth doing and doing well, but research is only as good as the time and effort put into it. Don’t choose a research topic because it looks easy.

All research requires painstaking thought, writing, and reading before the proposal is finished. You might get by with a minimal effort, but you will have lost an opportunity to explore something meaningful to you. On the other hand, don’t choose a topic that is so complex that it can’t possibly be done effectively. You may attract the attention of your instructor or supervisor, but that isn’t solid basis for learning research.

Choose a topic that truly interests you and will keep you going back again and again to research literature, your notes, or your own thoughts. You need not necessarily retain the first thoughts you had when you began to write your question. On the contrary, you may focus on one small aspect of the larger problem that you had never thought of before. However, this will not occur without your being intimately involved in the larger topic to begin with.
