Key Assignment #2

For assignment #2 you need to choose a diverse topic that interests you.  You then need to find 1 scholarly article, I suggest using Google Scholar, that supports the topic and one that does not support the topic.  Then for each, answer the questions listed in your syllabus on page 5 and put together in a paper that is APA format.

1. Identify the author’s/authors’ research question.

2. Identify the hypothesis/es being tested.

3. Document at least three instances where statistical information was displayed.  Where did these numbers come from?  Were they believable or trustworthy?

4. If you sought to answer the same research question, what two things would you do to improve the credibility of the study and your findings?

5. Should findings from the study (or your own) be used to modify law? Explain your opinion.

6. What is your personal response to the author’s/authors’ argument?

7. In what ways does your positioning influence the way you perceive the author’s/authors’ argument?
