  4. Supporting Content
  5. Evaluation
This activity is infinitely flexible. You could:
  • Change the reading to an article or website from your discipline.
  • Change the questions to evaluate the scientific method or the research process. (Was the sample size adequate? Do you agree with the researchers conclusions?)
  • After the students have evaluated the content, ask them how the information should be used. (For example, an article that might not be good for a research paper may be useful for general information.)
