Working habits and tips Keep your sources at a distance

Talk to your sources – don’t let them dictate to you Remember that they are not absolute truths – you should

evaluate them not let them control you Photocopy the title page of every book you borrow from

the library This will save you valuable time later on – you will need the full

title, place and date of publication later on. Start building the bibliography right away

Time saving! Once you quote someone put in a reference right away

This way you won’t have to look for the source later on And remember ... use footnotes!

Top tips: соблюдение сроков

Top tips: советы супервайзера

Talk to your supervisor – don’t run away from them when the deadline’s approaching. They will find you!

Top tips: советы родителей

Get your parents involved. It helps to have their experience and support and the occasional nag session

Extended Essay in History

Bad Questions and Topics

How did the Versailles treaty affect world history? too ... ?

How was Jónas frá Hriflu dressed at his funeral? too ... ?

Who was Adolf Hitler and what was he like? too ... ?

Why was Joseph Stalin so cruel? too ... ?

Would Germany have gone to war without Hitler? too ... ?

The Research Question

Is it suitable? Can it be asked and answered? Is it worthwhile to answer?

Dangerous research questions: Those that are too wide. Those that are “obivous.” Those that you can not answer due to lack of sources

available to you. Those that are too narrow. Those that are subjective. Those that are purely hypothetical (pseudo history)

Forms of Research

Don’t restrict yourself to a narrative! The point of a research essay is not simply to

tell a story – regardless of whether it has a happy ending or not.

Comparitive essay Compare and contrast examples A and B with

regards to question X. Bibliographical essay

What has the historiagraphical development been like in a certain narrow topic.
