Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.66 Curate Sources with Research Logs skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Salma is preparing a research log to share with a partner for a co-written piece about how to use a research log to plan a writing outline. They want someone else to be able to repeat the search and find the same core sources.

Which log structure best supports that goal?

AList only the final sources without the search steps.

BRecord only the topic name and assume others can figure out the rest.

CInclude each query exactly as typed, the database/search engine used, filters (date range, location), and brief notes on why each source was kept or rejected.

DSave screenshots of results with no written details.

Solution & Explanation:Reproducible research requires documenting the search path: queries, tools, filters, and selection decisions. Otherwise others cannot recreate the process.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Parker reads a systematic review and a single dramatic case study about how to log sources for a multimedia project. Both are from credible publications, but they serve different purposes.

Which credibility note best explains how to use them?

AThe case study is stronger because it is more emotional.

BThe systematic review is stronger for general conclusions; the case study can illustrate an example but should not be used to represent everyone.

CThe case study is stronger because it is about a real person.

DBoth sources provide the same level of general evidence.

Solution & Explanation:Systematic reviews synthesize many studies, making them stronger for broad claims. Case studies show detail, but they cannot support wide generalizations.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Inez is verifying a famous quote that might support an essay on how to evaluate statistics in press releases. The quote appears on many websites, but none cite where it originally came from.

What is the strongest action to record in the research log?

AUse the quote because many websites repeat it.

BCite the first website that appears in search results.

CChange a few words so it becomes 'your own' quote.

DSearch for the quote in primary materials (speeches, books, archived interviews) or reliable quote references, and only use it if an original source is found.

Solution & Explanation:Repeated online quotes can be misattributed. Strong research traces a quote to an original, citable source before using it.
