TEXT C Criticism of research lays
a significant foundation for future investigative work, but when students begin
their own projects, they are likely to find that the standards of validity in
field work considerably more rigorous than the standards for most library
research. When students are faced with the concrete problem of proof by field
demonstration, they usually discover that many of the "important relationships"
they may have criticized other researchers for failing to demonstrate are very
elusive indeed. They will find, if they submit an outline or questionnaire to
their classmates for criticism, that other students make comments similar to
some they themselves any have made in discussing previously published research.
For example, student researchers are likely to begin with a general question but
find themselves forced to narrow its focus. They may learn that questions whose
meanings seem perfectly obvious to them are not clearly understood by others, or
that questions which seemed entirely objective to them appear to be highly
biased to someone else. They usually find that those who have not actually
attempted it generally believe the formulation of good research questions is a
much more subtle and frustrating task. What does the author conclude about preparing suitable questions for a research project
A．It is more difficult than the student researcher may realize. B．The researcher should get help from other people. C．The questions should be brief so that they will he understood. D．It is important to follow formulas closely.
