General question for the whole team:
- The final question invites you to critically review and reflect on all 5 articles that were presented in class. Some suggestions: What have you learned from these papers? Do you really believe these studies add to our knowledge on the issues involved, and do you have any suggestions how to (better?) investigate these topics in future research? Or can you make a comparison with some concepts in the book?
Finally:
If you have more than one page per question, reduce it. Look at your main points and discuss with your team what is important and what might be left out to still make a good substantial argumentation for the point(s) that you want to make. (more than one page per question means a lower grade!) If you have less than one page and you think you have enough, it is not a problem.
