Minimal (1)
Title vaguely depicts specific research topic.
Main research question does not reflect the title.
Most questions are irrelevant and unnecessary.
It vaguely presents smooth flow of research.
Scope is unclear and unjustified.
Limitations are not explained.
Context of the topic is somewhat established from
international, national to local levels-
Most ideas are based on personal opinions.
Gap does not describe & identify research problem;
therefore, failing to highlight the need for
investigation.
Beneficiaries, benefits & perceived actions are
vaguely identified.
Theory fails to explain target research problem and
does not support research questions.
No relevant studies that used the theory are
included.
Design does not support the purposes of the study
& is not coherent to the research questions.
Respondents described; inappropriate sampling
technique, improper sample size format used.
Inappropriate & incoherent to research questions.
Without validity and reliability tests.
Incomplete & not logically sequenced.
Unclear, inappropriate & insufficient for the
research questions.
Not identified & followed.
Voice is not clear & audible; Not confident;
Poor eye contact; Many unnecessary gestures.
