Nikki is writing a research paper, and is looking for sources to support her thesis that homework has a negative impact on high school students. She found a scientific article called "Homework: A Positive Learning Experience", which explores the author's discovery of the connection between better test grades and homework. This source does NOT support Nikki's thesis; however, there is a single sentence that reads "In certain situations, homework can be a negative experience for a student if not administered correctly." Could Nikki use the quote "In certain situations, homework can be a negative experience" as evidence to support her thesis? Explain why or why not.

I think she could use it. It was written by a credible source and the sentence she wants to use is relevant to her research article.

Well i mean she could use that to support her thesis but thats just something somone said, it dosnt make it a fact, just becasue somone tells you something or post it online dosnt make it true, Also dosnt mean you cant use it. You can use anything you want to, but it dosnt mean youll get the question right. For instance. If you have this question then ur probably gonna copy and paste my answer because its the only one on here and its eaiser then actually doing reasearch or using common knowledge XD
