• Focused

“A good question focuses on only one issue and doesn’t try to fit in too much It requires analysis and thinking, and doesn’t have an obvious yes or no answer”  (Laurier Library, 2017)

• Interesting

“A good research question should pass the “so what?” test. Getting the answer should contribute usefully to our state of knowledge. The acronym FINER denotes five essential characteristics of a good research question: it should be feasible, interesting, novel, ethical and relevant” (Hulley et. al, 2013)
