The student does not clearly state the independent and dependent variables in the research question, which should specify the different sports and sex as independent variables and visual reaction time as the dependent variable. Additionally, the research question lacks a method of analysis description and a thorough background theory section, which should connect key concepts to the investigation. While the student effectively explains the choice of techniques for measuring variables and identifies controlled variables, they fail to provide a clear explanation of the sampling technique, the rationale for the number of trials, and any environmental considerations. Nevertheless, the methodology is sufficiently detailed and free from irrelevant information, allowing for reproducibility.
