Parts of Research

The main goal of this activity is to identify the main parts of a research paper. This is a chance to show that you learned and understood the terms introduced in class. This activity will also prepare you for another assignment in this course (article critique).

For this activity you use the attached article and identify it parts. You may download the file from BeachBoard/Content/ Articles needed for assignments/Quant- Literacy study.pdf
