Research Summaries

• This format provides descriptions of one or more related experiments. The questions focus on the design of experiments and the interpretation of experimental results.

Conflicting Viewpoints

• This format presents expressions of several hypotheses or views that, being based on differing premises or on incomplete data, are inconsistent with one another. The questions focus on the understanding, analysis, and comparison of alternative viewpoints or hypotheses.
