What is an analysis?

This might help. You’ll want to make the specific details about your own project, of course.

Didn’t your instructor give you any guidance? Your instructor’s requirements are what counts when it comes to fulfilling an assignment.

Without knowing more from your teacher, we can’t really give you more than a dictionary definition….

Holds in side rant about “modern” education.

Normally, you ask a question, gather data that will enable you to answer the question and then analyse that data and come up with an answer. If you are not analyzing data, then I guess you would be doing a meta-analysis. You would look at research that has already been done on a subject and compare the analyses of those research papers.

aw c’mon what were you doing ? texting while the instructor explained the assignment? ;-) Jeruba is spot on. What counts is what your instructor thinks is an analysis paper.
