Research Papers / Help with narrowing down research question and thesis [5]

Hi EssayForum,

First off I found a topic and issue. Communication issues in online classrooms. I noticed the word "issues" makes my research question too broad. I am uncertain as how I can narrow down my research question.

Do I have to bring out the research question or can I just bring out the thesis in the introductory?

I plan to argue against online classrooms. I have collected alot of data, but I dont know how to present the data. Most of the data constitutes for cons of online classrooms.

Should I write about the traditional value as my first paragraph in the body?

Well I'm also not certain of my outline either. I have read the post about creating the outline last. -very informative

I just dont know how to put my data together. Well this is what I was thinking about for my outline.

I. Introduction
a. Thesis
II. Body
a. Traditional values, pros for traditional classroom
i. Facts
ii. Facts
iii. Facts
b. Cons of online classrooms
i. Structure
ii. Academic Integrity - dishonest
iii. Disadvantages
c. LOST, I haven't thought of what to write
III. Conclusion

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,

Research Papers / Help with narrowing down research question and thesis [5]

Wow, Thank you Sean and Kevin.

Here is what I came up with for my introduction.

Post secondary education trains the elites of the world through many manifestations of teaching. Teaching has expanded beyond classrooms of small size to classrooms consisting of 200 plus students. The increasing complexity of technology has given humans the ability to socially participate through the World Wide Web. It has been weaved into the learning experiences of many students. However complex society becomes, efficiency does not always yield effectiveness. Online classrooms allow students to learn through a limited screen and only see teachings one dimensional. Learning is a social behavior and limiting it to a screen deprives the complexity of social interactions.

I plan to revise it but not certain yet.

Do you guys think this introduction will allow me to cover a 10 page essay double space? I have until May to complete. I'm slowly progressing.

Thanks again,
