1. Is the evaluation question specific, feasible, and easy to understand? If not, why? And are all terms defined as needed?
2. If the author completed the methods described, would s/he have a strong, credible answer to the evaluation question? Why or why not? For example, is there important evidence (data) that would be missing? Would any of the methods provide unnecessary data?
3. Do the methods seem feasible and realistic? For example, is the desired data accessible? Would the author have time to complete the methods? What details of the methods need to be explained more fully?
4. Overall assessment
o What is the strongest element of the draft?
o What would be the single most useful revision the author could make?
