HW#3


1. Who is/are the audience/s for this research project? What do they want to know? What do they need to know?

-The class and the teacher. The want to know what my research question is and how it applies to the assignment and what I found out through the research.



2. What is the purpose of this research project? What must be conveyed for that purpose to be achieved?

-The purpose is to give conclusions to my research question. Evidence to support claim is most important.

3. How timely is this research project? What types of contemporary information must you address? What types of historical information must you address? How recent must information be to be relevant and persuasive?

- I have some older test results as part of my data, but for the most part all of my research is very up-to-date. Since testing for anything medical is continuous, it constantly changes and it is important to be recent.

4. How did you continue to narrow and focus your research question? What type of information must you find to fit within that scope? What information may be only tangentially relevant?

-I took the general topic of pregnancy and specified it to pregnancy relating to age. then, narrowed it to is age the determining factor for complications. Lots of medical research is needed. Mother's opinions may only be tangentially relevant.

5. What other elements or issues about your topic must be covered?

-Terminology and back ground information on the topic

6. What elements or issues about your topic might be interesting but not useful since they do not fit the purpose or scope of your project.

- How a younger age affects pregnancy would also be interesting, but I think it's a little off topic.
