Research questions
Click on the research question that would be appropriate for a college paper from ten to fifteen pages long. Remember that a research question should be focused (not too broad), intellectually challenging (not just factual), and grounded in evidence (not too speculative).
Click Submit after each question to see feedback and to record your answer. After you have finished every question, your answers will be submitted to your instructor’s gradebook. You may review your answers by returning to the exercise at any time. (An exercise reports to the gradebook only if your instructor has assigned it.)
For help with this exercise, see Posing questions worth exploring.
