Critique: Researchable question and hypotheses (10 points)
Procedure
You
will critique the first draft of another student's researchable question,
and you will be graded on the quality of your critique. You should
provide your classmate with constructive criticism on how to improve their
researchable question (i.e., your written feedback will be given to the student).
Constructive criticism means that thoughtful suggestions for how to improve
the researchable question should be part of your critique. Your critique
should be one page or less, and should address all of the questions listed
on the critiquing web page, plus the following:
Did the researchable question have all the required elements, including a description of the:
- Researchable question itself?
- Rationale and significance of the question?
- Propositions that are assumed to be true (i.e., assumptions or axioms)?
- Propositions that will be tested (i.e., hypotheses or postulates)?
Is the researchable question (ARID) answerable by research, relevant to science and society, interesting and creative, and doable?
Were the hypotheses clear and testable?
If you do not complete
the assignment by the due date, a late penalty will be assigned using
the penalties listed in the late assignment
policy.
