X
and links to a potential solution.
The design of the investigation is your own and include some personal input even if X
based on prior research.
An innovative approach is used to answer the research question even if based on
prior research because it does not repeat it (i.e.: the investigation as yours cannot be
X
found on the Internet nor in a book).
The title I have chosen gives a clear and concrete idea of the work I do. X
I have introduced the research topic I am going to develop the research
X
question about.
The objective and / or research question is clear and relates to the work I have done.
X
If the method is not mine, I quote the sources of where I got it. X
I include a list of absolutely all the material used, indicating its dimensions, X
material, uncertainty, maximum range, etc.
I present a clear methodology that shows the detailed way of measuring (quantifying) X
the dependent variable, step by step.
For anyone who reads this research, it is clear what each collected data represents. X
If I present a table with the data obtained, I included the table number, title, columns

Have I indicated the coefficient that indicates the goodness of the adjustment if this
X
has been done?
Is the printing of the graphic of enough quality for anyone to understand without
X
difficulty?
YES NO
I make a coherent interpretation of the results obtained by analysing the data
X
and / or graphs, and then I draw a detailed conclusion.
I argue my conclusion with the theories and physical concepts studied and / or that I X
exposed in the research topic.
