Class and Inequality Research

10/24/2017

 
NO STARTER TODAY

Research Question Critique and Revision
  1. Goal today is to take the research questions you came up with last Wednesday, and make them more usable and specific.
  2. This is the same process we go through when we start to develop a research question for your senior thesis--the goal here is to start developing your sense of what makes a good research question.
  3. The question for my class and Kyle’s can be the same--if this is the case, in Kyle’s you’ll be running the correlation, and in mine you’ll be doing background research and/or social science research (interviews, observation, etc.).  If this doesn’t work for whatever reason, the questions you are investigating can be slightly different, but should both still be related, and should still be working to answer your group’s essential question.

Critique and Revision Process


  1. Review criteria on handout- evaluate your current version of your research question.
  2. Review sample questions
  3. Complete question critique
  4. Get revised question checked by Lori
