USE QUESTION PROMPTS TO DRAFT / OUTLINE DISCUSSION AS IN-CLASS EXERCISE

As the final section of your Research article, you will write a formal Discussion that summarizes the key findings and states the implications of your research. For this homework you will draft an outline of the Discussion.

Use the checklist below to assist you as you complete this assignment:
Do you begin by reiterating the major findings of your work and the specific purpose of your study?
Do you discuss the data in the same order they were presented in the "Results" section?
Do you explain what the data presented in the "Results" section indicates?
Do you indicate whether or not the results support your hypothesis and why you have arrived at that conclusion?
For each result, do you provide information to explain why your result was expected or unexpected? (i.e. Were there any technical issues? How do the controls support your conclusions?)
Do you explain any limitations in the study and how they should be addressed to further clarify your results?
If you encountered unexpected results, do you indicate a potential clarifying experiment that would help elucidate your findings?
Do you propose at least two follow-up experiments that would help confirm your results and build on your findings?
Does your final paragraph explain how your study advances what is known in the field?
Does your final sentence tie back in to your impact statement from the "Introduction"?
Does your discussion follow a pyramid structure where you begin with specific information from your study and continually broaden until you indicate the impact on the field?
Does each topic/paragraph make a logical transition to the next topic?
Do you include references for relevant follow-up experiments and information on the overall field?
Hint: review the information concerning how to write a Discussion provided on the Research article page for help!
