Researcher Memo #2: Draft Hypothesis, Research Question, and Theoretical Framework Assignment
Name:
Directions: Write your theoretical framework, hypothesis, and research question in the Your Draft
Research Question column, and then rate your impression of it via the Likert scale (i.e., circle/bold the
number that best represents your current thoughts; 1=Hate it, 2=Dislike it, 3=Neutral, 4=Like it, & 5=Love
it). Remember, this is only a draft and is based on your initial collection of research articles. You will
receive full credit for the assignment so long as all four areas are completed and submitted on time. I will
help you refine your next steps, but I need your draft in order to do so.
