Copying information without correct citations represents plagiarism. If there are areas the author did not address, you are expected to give potential research questions, hypotheses etc. a. What is the design? Explain the design. Is the study design identified? b. Is the design used in the study the most appropriate to obtain the needed data? Why or why not?c. Does the design provide a means to examine all of the objectives, questions or hypotheses? Give a rationale for your response.d. Are the threats to internal and external design validity described?
