Zina O′Leary’s Research Question: Little Quick Fix teaches students how to find their interest, hone it to a topic, and turn it into a research question that is relevant, interesting, and researchable. This 108-page guide, published by SAGE Publications Ltd in September 2018, offers quick but authoritative answers to the problems, hurdles, and assessment points students face in their research course or project proposal. The lively, ultra-modern design includes full-colour pages tailored for each topic, making it easy to dip in and out of with clear navigation that enables readers to find what they need quickly.

The direct written style gets straight to the point with clear language, ensuring nothing needs to be read twice. No fluff is included, focusing on practical information. Learning is reinforced through a 2-minute overview summary at the end of each section and super-quick Q&A sections. DIY tasks create work plans for students, guiding them to accomplish specific tasks, do self-check quizzes, solve problems, and prepare what they need to show their supervisors.

Checkpoints in each section ensure that students are mastering the content as they go, supporting self-directed learning. The book wraps up with a finale checklist at the end of each guide, allowing readers to self-assess whether they have achieved the necessary knowledge for progress, submission, or acing tests and tasks.
