Has identified the gap in previous studies by effectively mentioning what has been done and what has not been done. The problem is clearly defined and the objectives are specific, measurable, and well-written. Contains an extensive and balanced review of existing literature that includes (1) comparison/contrasts of different points of view of different research outcomes; and (2) the relationship of the study to the previous empirical research. Has placed the research problem in a bigger setting by placing it with relevant issues and trends Has identified the gap in the previous studies, but could still be improved. The problem is clearly defined and the objectives are specific and measurable. Contains an extensive review of existing literature but maybe biased on some sections. The review includes (1) comparison/contrasts of different points of view of different research outcomes; and (2) the relationship of the study to the previous empirical research. Has somehow placed the research problem in a bigger setting by identifying an aspect of the issue/trend Needs Improvement 4 The research problem is not placed in a bigger setting as issue and trends were not mentioned The problem is not clearly defined and the objectives are not so specific and measurable. The problem is not clearly defined and the objectives are not specific and measurable. The objectives of the study are stated broadly. Some variables are not expressed in measurable terms but relationship investigated is expressed. The objectives of the study are unclear. Variables are not expressed in measurable terms and relationship investigated is not expressed. Review is not extensive and acceptable, with mostly biased sections. Contains an acceptable review of existing literature. Some sections are included but not in depth. Major sections have been omitted and mostly run-on. Ideas are highly redundant. The author was able to make satisfactory conclusions. Few insights are lacking or unnecessary. Conclusions are made and generally supported by the review. The author provides concluding remarks. Some of the conclusions, however, were not supported in the body of the report. The research question is not that established. There is no indication the author tried to draw conclusions out of the related literature. No research question is provided or the research question is unfocused. Measurements are identified, procedures and processes are described, variables and data needed are described Measurements are somewhat identified, procedures, processes, variables and data needed are described but is found lacking Explanations on how data will be managed and processed are explained in excellent details. Design and methods are clearly described. Explanations on how data will be managed and processed. Design and methods are described. Some details of explanations on how data will be managed and processed are given. Design and methods are poorly described. Little to no explanations on how data will be managed and processed are given. Design and methods are not appropriate or non-existent. Questionnaires, letters, and other pertinent documents are provided. One element is missing. Two elements are missing. All elements are missing. Relevant prior work of high quality is extensively referred. Relevant prior work of high quality is referred. Relevant of prior work of moderate quality is referred. Bulk of literature are composed of websites, and grey literatures. Proper and consistent formatting of citations and literature cited. Proper formatting for citations and literature cited but is seldom inconsistent. Format for citations and literature cited are highly inconsistent. Work was exceptionally logical and organized. Uses concise and clear language. Work had clear body and idea. Organization and logical flow of ideas can be observed, uses concise and clear language Organization and flow of ideas is somewhat evident, language used is somewhat concise but unclear. Work was poorly organized and ideas are presented randomly. Flow of ideas are confusing, language used are inappropriate. All required format, structure, sections, layout, and style are present and correct. Few minor deviances from the prescribed format, structure, sections, layout, and style. Several errors on format, structure, sections, layout, and style is obvious. Major and multiple errors on format, structure, sections, layout, and style, impedes understanding of proposal. 10% or less 11-15% 16-20% 21% and higher The author was able to make succinct and precise conclusions. Insights into the problem are appropriate. Conclusions and the research question are strongly supported in the review. Measurements are clearly identified, procedures and processes are properly explained and described, variables and data needed can clearly be seen from logical descriptions 120 POINTS Measurements are not identified, procedures and processes, variables and data needed are not logically described and is found lacking Citations and literature cited is not followed.
