Answer 1

Is the answer: Bruce is sexist?

Answer 2

Lol, what are the options?

b.
Make a class data table, and ask the class to record hours spent on homework each day when they enter the classroom
c.

i'd say c, but there is the issue of falsification

theyre all good ways but rely a lot, even too much, on the students honesty

Answer 6

lol, i know if i was asked if i studied physics i'd lie and say yea

Answer 7

c is the most foolproof of the 4

Answer 8

mearly asking them isnt acceptable

Answer 9

anything with tabulated results for science is good. we love data and evidence before we say something is "proof"
