Methodology - Research Design
Do the authors justify the design decisions?
Did they discuss the limitations?
Are variables identified? Dependent & independent.
Are any external variables identified?
Are those external variables controlled?
Was the design appropriate?
Notes:
Client removed information over the strong objections - Bias!
Didn’t fully describe the design
Didn’t define the variables
No mention of external variables:
Is there a tech support structure at client company
No control of external variables - that we could see.
Was the design appropriate? Maybe - who can tell?
