Write a report in which you analyze EACH of the pre-selected research articles to identify and discuss the research paradigm and design the authors followed, and then explain how this informed the decisions made by the researchers. And then applying critical thinking skills, you will need to consider alternate research methods, and motivate your choices using sources beyond your textbook.
