Finally, identify regions of the overlaps that are of interest in the puzzle or problem. itis often advisable to consider how much is known about each region, and use the information about the region that is most known to deduce information about regions that are less well known.

To further reduce your hits, enter 2°" (minus sign) immediately before any words or phrases you ‘want to avoid, For example, suppose that you want a chocolate chip cookie recipe like your grandmother used to make. Searching chocolate chip cookie recipe ners 938 000 results. Using quotation marks, “chocolate chip cookie recipe” gets 172 000 results. You remember that your grandmother's recipe contained oatmeal and pecans, so you search “chocolate chip cookie recipe” and oatmeal and ‘pecans. You get 124 000 results. You dislike walnuts, so now you search for “chocolate chip cookie recipe” «and oatmeal and pecans walnut. You get 6270 results. To further narrow your search, you look for the exact phrase “brown sugar’: “chocolate chip cookie recipe” and oatmeal and pecans walnuts «and “brown sugar”. Now you have only 4660 recipes to check. How can you solve a problem that involves three sets? Draw a Venn diagram co represent the three sets. Enter the data you know. Any clement in two or three sets is counted for each set.

Completing projects on time is just as important in the workplace as iis in school. So, how can you avoid having to rush through all the stages of your research project at the last minute? One way is to use a strategy called backward planning: develop a formal action plan, and create a timeline based on this action plan. ‘A tnajor research project must successfully pass through several stages. On the next page is an outline for an action plan, with a lise of these stages. ‘Completing this action plan will help you erganize your time and give you goals and deadlines you can manage. The times that are suggested for each stage are only a guide, with one day equivalent to any regular day in your life. Adjuse che time you will spend on each stage to match the scope of your project. For example, a project based on primary data (data that you collect) will usually requite more time than a project based on secondary data (data that other people have collected and published). You will also need to consider your personal situation—the issues that are affecting you and may interfere with completion of the project. Issues Affecting Project Completion Consider the issues that may interfere with completion of the project in a time-efficient manner. For example: *» part-time job + after-school sports and activities + regular homework + assignments for other courses * tests in other courses * driving school * time you spend with friends * school dances and parties * family commitments + access to research sources and technology ‘What other issues can you add to this list? Your Turn ‘A. Take some time co complete an action plan for your project. Start by deciding on the probable lengeh of time for cach stage. Do not forget to include buffer space in your action plan. Buffer space is not a stage, but i is important. If something goes wrong (For example, if you are unable to gather appropriate data for your topic and must select a new topic), having that buffer space in your action plan may allow you ro finish your project on time, without making extraordinary effors 1.
