ASPECT 1. RESEARCH PROPOSAL CONTENT (50%)

Research background and context

-The title is very clear and concise that inhibits the SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely) characteristics of a study.- All necessary background relevant for the study has been provided.-All references are cited appropriately and accurately.

- The title is clear but needs to be concise. Moreover, it still inhibits the SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely) characteristics of a study.- The material provides less background on relevant topics for the study.- Some references are not cited appropriately and accurately.

- The title is not clear and concise and fails to inhibit the SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely) characteristics of a study.- The material provides minimal and or incorrect background about the study.- Several references are not cited appropriately and accurately.

- The title is irrelevant and fails to inhibit the SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely) characteristics of a study.- The material fails to provide necessary background relevant for the study.- References are inappropriately and inaccurately cited.

Research question/goal and objectives

Identifies very essential research question or goal and logically breaks it down, into specific, measurable and realistic objectives that are very suggestive of possible research design.

Identifies clear essential research question or goal and logically breaks it down into specific, measurable objectives.

Identifies vague essential research question or goal thereby resulting to logically misaligned objectives, or objectives can still be made more specific and measurable.

There is no essential research question or goal identified.

Research and or Design Methodology

-Provides a comprehensively detailed explanation of the scientific strategy/design to

-Provides a sufficiently detailed explanation of the scientific strategy/design to achieve the research

-Provides insufficiently detailed explanation of the scientific strategy/design to achieve the research

- Does not provide any description of the adopted strategy or design for achieving the research objectives.

achieve the research objectives.-Proposes methods that have been shown in scientific literature to be appropriate and which the proponents creatively innovate in consideration of time and facility constraints.- Describes the methods in such comprehensive detail as if indicating that the proponents have actual working experience of implementing the associated procedures.

objectives.-Proposes methods that have been shown in scientific literature to be appropriate and which can be done using available facilities.- Describes the methods in such level of detail that the proponents know how to implement the associated procedures.

objectives.-Proposes methods that have been shown in scientific literature to be appropriate but cannot be done using available facilities.- Describes the methods with several details missing as if indicating that the proponents are not sure how to implement the associated procedures.

- Proposes methods which have no sufficient basis for appropriateness and which may lead to major issues in reliability and validity of results.-Describes the methods with many missing details as if indicating that the proponents do not have a working knowledge of the methods a all.

ASPECT 2.RESEARCH PROJECT PLANNING (15s%)

Research activity plan

Structures the tasks systematically reflecting optimized use of available time and other resources, breaks them down into weekly activities with specific products or deliverables, and specifies the persons responsible for each part of the work indicating reasonable distribution of responsibilities.

Structures the tasks systematically and breaks them down into weekly activities with specific products or deliverables, and specifies persons responsible for each part of the work.

Structures the tasks in a somewhat unsystematic manner and breaks them down into weekly activities with no specific products or deliverables, also there is no specification of persons responsible for each part of the work.

There is no evidence of structuring the tasks and no breakdown of tasks into weekly activities and specific deliverables, and no specified assignment of tasks among team members.

Research budget plan

Provides clear and reasonable estimates of the cost of the project with comprehensive details or breakdown of the costs that have direct connection to the planned research activities; reflects creative budgeting to minimize the costs.

Provides clear and reasonable estimates of the cost of the project with sufficient details of breakdown of the cost that have a common connection to the planned research activities.

Provides estimates of the cost but the estimates are only partially supported by clear details of cost breakdown or some costs do not have common connection to the planned research activities.

Provides estimates of the project cost but estimates are not supported by clear details of cost breakdown.
