Application Exercise – Revising a Research Question, Application Exercise: Scholary vs NonScholary

question 1. Your research question will guide your final project in this course. As you design your research questions, you must make sure it is CLEAR, FOCUSED & APPROPRIATELY COMPLEX. Take a look at the following example:

Examples:
1. The following question is too broad and does not define the segments of the analysis:
Why did the chicken cross the road?
(The question does not address which chicken or which road.)
2. Similarly, the following question could be answered by a hypothetical Internet search:
How many chickens crossed Broad Street in Durham, NC, on February 6, 2014?
(This question could be answered in one sentence and does not leave room for analysis.
3. A more precise question might be the following:
What are some of the environmental factors that occurred in Durham, NC between January and February 2014 that would cause chickens to cross Broad Street?
(This question can lead to the author taking a stand on which factors are significant, and allows the writer to argue to what degree the results are beneficial or detrimental.)

Application Assignment: For this assignment, students must revise the following two questions so that they are more focused, clear and appropriately complex. Tell the reader what is missing in these possible questions. Revise the question and then List 5 keywords you might use to look for information on each.
Submit your revised questions and reasons in a word document.

1. REVISE this question: Why are social networking sites harmful?

What is wrong with this question, what is missing?
Design a Revised question:
List 5 key words you might use to look for information

2. REVISE this question: Are females smarter than males?
What is wrong with this question, what is missing?
Design a Revised question:
List 5 key words you might use to look for information on the question
