By the end of Evidence-Based Discussion & Listening you should be able to:
- I can prepare precise references and a serious challenge for an evidence-based seminar.

2 questions, written answer, each with a worked explanation.
Vocabulary used: evidence, interpretation, qualification.
Problem 1
Answer and explanation

Response criteria
- Make an accurate, focused claim or revision.
- Use a relevant detail or a clearly explained language choice.
- Explain the relationship and recognize a relevant limit.
