Setting topic limits
With some assignment topics, these questions have been answered for you. For instance you may have assignment topics like these:
Describe the new skin laser therapies now available in Australia.
Outline the main characteristics of Surrealist paintings in Europe between 1920 and 1939.
With these two assignment topics you have been told to limit your information to a particular place eg: Australia and Europe.
You have also been told to set other limits in each topic.
In the first example the use of the word "new" tells you that your information needs to be very up-to-date.
In the second example the use of the phrase "between 1920 and 1939" tells you that your information needs to be about that period of time.
