Record your answers in the “individual reporting sheet” that I will upload for your use. It will be graded on the

responses to the questions within the reporting sheet.

For a detailed summary on how this assignment will be graded, I will upload the rubric to refer to.

Please do your best to understand the paradigms and answer as best you can. I will be on the look out for problem items.

The main point is the understanding of the concepts and how you think with those ideas. Below is a overview of detailed

information about how to identify Research Paradigms and Research Questions.

Does the author of a study have a bias—a favored approach to research? The answer is yes, even though the bias is not

always stated up front.
