Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.47 Short and Extended Research Projects skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A researcher reads government data, interviews, and investigative journalism about housing. The sources disagree on numbers because they count homelessness differently (nightly shelter counts vs annual estimates).

Which synthesis move is MOST appropriate?

APick the biggest number so the problem seems urgent

BTreat all numbers as interchangeable

CDelete all numbers and write only stories

DExplain the differing definitions and measurement methods, then compare conclusions within those limits

Solution & Explanation:When measures differ, synthesis should clarify definitions and methods. Comparing like with like prevents misleading conclusions and improves credibility.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

In drafting, Omar writes: "Libraries improve communities because they improve communities." He then selects only sources that repeat this idea without adding new reasoning.

What is the key problem with Omar's argument structure?

AHe used too many commas

BHe wrote in the present tense

CHe is using circular reasoning, so the claim is not supported by independent evidence

DHe used one short sentence

Solution & Explanation:Circular reasoning repeats the conclusion as the reason. Omar needs independent evidence and clear reasoning that explains how libraries produce specific community outcomes.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A policy brief claims a program is effective but uses the word "effective" without defining what counts as success (higher attendance, test scores, graduation rates, or something else).

What should a researcher do FIRST to make the argument researchable and comparable across sources?

AAssume everyone agrees on what effective means

BOperationalize "effective" by defining measurable indicators and stating which ones the paper will use

CReplace the word effective with awesome

DIgnore definitions because they slow down writing

Solution & Explanation:Operational definitions clarify what a term means in measurable ways, allowing fair comparison across studies that may use different indicators.
