Hi Giulia,
These are some great aspects of a research question. I found it hard to limit myself to just two criteria. I also appreciate your image; it represents my feelings towards creating a question from a plethora of information.
Thanks!

Great photo! Lol, I didn’t realize video was being captured of my work space and turned into stock photos!
In seriousness, thank you for breaking down what a question should be, into two manageable pieces.

lol, I appreciate the message behind the photo but WOW, this puts me in instant panic mode. I couldn’t imagine seeing books thrown around and treated like that, how sad. Great job! Nicole

Your image reflects my brain after reading for a research paper. Scrambled…Your one point on what a research question should be is short and to the point. It pretty much sums it up in just a few words.
