Find at least one to label “C” for closed-ended or and at least one to label “O” for open-ended. 

  • Closed-ended: can be answered with “yes” or “no” or with one word.    
  • Open-ended: require an explanation and cannot be answered with "yes”, “no”, or one word. 

Then, edit your post using the pencil symbol and in the "write something" section, next to your initials, label it C or O.

THINK: What are the advantages and disadvantages of asking each type of question? (optional) Use the Add Comment chat box icon for this post, if you'd like to share an advantage or disadvantage you see for Open and/or Closed questions.  Add your first and last initial after any comments that you make.

Start thinking of a question that has always interested you about Marine Biology. It can be in any realm, ecosystem, organism -- it has to be in the ocean and has to be biological.

    Put your question below with your initials. Don't worry too much if it isn't the *perfect* question, we are going to have time to refine it over the semester. Also, your initial question may need to be broken into several testable questions as we continue to investigate the question.

    At the end of the semester you are going to use your question to present a proposal that introduces your testable question, discusses the background knowledge of this topic, and proposes methods to answer this question.

    Don't worry, we will be going over this further in the next few weeks. The format of the final proposal will be in the style of an NSF GRFP proposal, which is 2 pages in length. Plus a 15 min class presentation.]]>     2022-08-15 09:22:46 UTC https://padlet.com/michellefournet/rquhel3buui1bz4e/wish/2261081327
