• It is important that when you decide on a topic, sources of information
are available.
Guidelines in Choosing a TopiC

• 3. Timeliness and relevance of the topic


• The topic you have chosen can be of significance to the community.

expertise. If you don’t have

and materials that are not updated
make the subject hard to
investigate.
4. Too broad subjects

• You lack focus if you deal with


broad topics. The remedy is to
narrow it down.
5. Too narrow subject

• Some subjects are too narrow that


extensive and thorough reading are
required.

• Titles that start with indefinite


adjectives such as several, many,
some, etc., make the topic vague.
