"Newspaper articles published in the New York Times and the Globe & Mail described research that calls into question the concept of bisexuality. You are to read the original pieces of research (and any other relevant studies) and assess whether or not the newspaper articles present an accurate or biased picture of the academic research around this issue for the general public."
Do you:
a) Read the articles and the research, assess what each are saying, and point out where simplifications or overstatements have occured in the newspaper articles?
b) Evaluate the research, and state that the research was not valid in the first place, thus negating the need for the articles outright?
c) Compare and contrast the newspaper articles, and then compare and contrast their persuasiveness with the persuasiveness of the research?
