Challenge in Evaluating Scientific Research: Demands the ability to analyze the methodology, validity, reliability, and ethical issues of psychological studies.
Obstacles in Academic Essay Writing (SAQ & ERQ): Requires presenting knowledge accurately, effectively using evidence from studies, and demonstrating critical thinking.
