1. SAT question
In this technological age, students are faced with online educational opportunities at both the high school and post-high school levels. Many educators wonder how effective such online courses really are. Imagine you are designing an online course. Before beginning, you decide to conduct a study about the effectiveness of on-line courses.
What would be an appropriate research question to guide your investigation?
A) Which courses do students prefer, online or traditional?
B) What are the strengths and weaknesses of online courses?
C) Which courses have higher enrollment numbers, online or traditional?
D) Which courses have better exam scores, online or traditional?

2. Answer
D is correct
You are investigating the effectiveness of on-line courses compare to traditional course. You are not interested in what students prefer. The most appropriate research question in this case would be: Which courses have better exam scores, online or traditional? Exam scores are a quantitative way, or numerical proof, to determine effectiveness.
