1.3 evaluate the relative importance of specific practical and theoretical factors in research design/methods used. could include consideration of logistics in planning, e.g. random sampling produces weak results with small numbers of participants)
4.1 evaluate the strengths and limitations of design and procedures (demonstrate you are cognizant of, and have adjusted (justified) for the advantages/ disadvantages of different secondary sources and primary sources; bias,outdated material, statistical manipulation, hawthorn effect/social desirability effect in primary interviews and questionnaires.)
