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.

Yes, Nikki would be able to use the article for her thesis. Nikki would want to provide evidence on what negative impact homework has and provide support on what certain situations homework can cause a negative impact.
