The student's method outlined in the exploration is appropriate for addressing the research question, as it effectively utilizes data from secondary sources to study wildfires and temperature. The proposed method also ensures the collection of relevant and sufficient data over a 10-year period from 7 cities. However, the report lacks sufficient detail for the proposed method to be replicated at a different time or setting, and the sampling approach needs a more thorough outline, particularly regarding the quota sampling strategy. While the student provides reasoning for the choice of the sampling approach and lists risks and ethical considerations, the report overlooks environmental considerations, such as the conservation of trees through paperless research.
