  • Apply your research to your paper, speech, or project
  • Be confident about your new area of knowledge.
    • Explain all aspects of the topic or issue  
      • The big picture
      • Details and small and nuanced points.
      • Show that for you "Points X, Y, and Z make sense because… "
      • Show that others consider perspectives "A, B, and C because…” 

NOTE: If you're not 100% convinced about points X, Y, and Z and perspectives A, B, and C, retrace your steps,

  • Go back and review the steps in the research process to fill in the gaps
