Evaluating Bias in Research
Review the six (6) rules of critical thinking (Chapter 1) and the steps of "Doing Sociology: A Student's Guide to Research" (Chapter 2).
Student Success Tip: As you review the steps, jot a few notes or thoughts down. Relax and prepare to write a concise and accurate essay.
Write a one to two (1-2) page essay in which you:
- Identify the first step in the student's guide to research.
- Define the first step of research in your own words.
- Identify the major assumptions and bias of the drug industry that underlie drug research.
- Identify the personal bias that you, as a consumer, have on the drug industry's influence over research.
