The student's method for collecting data, through a survey distributed to 50 females and 50 males, is appropriate for addressing the research question. However, the proposed method lacks clarity in defining the ecological footprint scale and survey questions, which is essential for collecting relevant data. Additionally, the student did not provide sufficient detail for replicating the method or outline the sampling approach and its rationale. Despite addressing ethical considerations by ensuring respondent anonymity, the student should have focused on potential risks associated with the survey method.
