1. As almost everyone else has already stated, waiting until the last minute will not get you far, it also adds stress; so try to avoid it. The most important thing I would recommend is to pace yourself, don't try to complete the whole research paper in one day. Spread it out little by little. Also take advantage of the reference desk in the library, they are very helful in finding useful sources such as books and peer reviewed articles. They are also great at finding different key words to use in the search box. Another helpful tip is to not settle with one or two sources right away, they may be good but the more the merrier. So, look for as many books or articles that you can find. Even though some of the sources you find may not be helpful towards your topic, atleast you have a variety of sources to choose from. Lastly, if you are having trouble with the research make sure to get help right away, again, don't wait until the last minute.
2. My topic is on the roles of women in "The Wizard of Oz" and if there was any special purpose for Dorothy being a female protagonist in the story.
