I became stuck on the idea behind a research idea and I have done extensive topic research. I finally narrowed down what I wanted to research about but I didn’t quite understand how to write it into a research question. I did a lot of reading on the main scribbr website and it helped but I wasn’t quite there yet. So, I figured I’d come to your video and wow is all I can say. With your step-by-step explanation, I was able to exactly identify the variables I needed in the research question. I was able to change it as I watched your video and came to the conclusion of my research question. I just wanted to say thank you!

I love how she explains what feasible is without hurting my feelings. Well, English ain't my first language maybe that is a good excuse 😂 great video. Your communication skills are impressive young lady.

Thank you so much. My sister has had so much trouble with their English class to the point where they don’t understand anything! Their teacher hardly teaches so I turned to YouTube. Thankfully I found this video that actually explains with examples 😭 👏 gracias

How strange this video was four years ago, and it did have a real problem with real-life impact! Now, we are implementing YouTube shorts and TikTok videos, too! With much research on the same topic!
Very informative STEPS. Thank you so much!
