Step 2: Read the Paper with a Focus on the Hypothesis (or Hypotheses)

Now that you have selected a journal article, it's time to dive into the content. As you read the paper, pay particular attention to the hypothesis (or hypotheses).

Step 3: Share and Evaluate

Share a little bit of background about the scholarly article you chose and the hypothesis (hypotheses) that you plan to discuss. Then, evaluate the quality of its hypothesis (hypotheses) from the criteria listed in the textbook. Detail your evaluation process and how you came to your conclusions. Would you modify the hypothesis, how?
