Evidence-Based Management - The Need for Data Research Assignment Distinguish Fact From Opinion Module 1 Please read the following article on facts and opinion, and take the test to better understand the general aspects of fact and opinion concepts. Skills Practice | Distinguishing Between Fact and Opinion/The New York Times An important thing to remember in understanding facts and opinions, is the scientific standards are high for defining these terms. A report can only be scientifically valuable if the facts are defined by independent institutions and the results are replicable and rely on scientifically collected data. If an author needs to refer to another person's opinion, then the reference should be from a double-blind, reviewed, academically-reputable journal. In light of the findings in the above article, please find an article (1-2 pages) on a subject you prefer from a local journal that distinguishes and evaluates scientific facts from opinions. Find and explain five scientific facts and five opinions in the article. Submission Guidelines Review the guidelines on the Course Assignment Requirements and Guidance page.
