How to Write an A-Grade Research Hypothesis: Examples and Templates

Learn what exactly a research (or scientific) hypothesis is and how to write high-quality hypothesis statements for any dissertation, thesis, or research project. We unpack the generic definition of a hypothesis, then explain how a research hypothesis builds on this using lots of examples. We also look at the null hypothesis, or alternative hypothesis.
