RESEARCH QUESTION WORKSHEET
Bhim Prasad Sapkota — learning resource template
Use this to draft your own question. It does not choose a topic for you and it does not guarantee approval.

1. Topic, in one plain sentence.

2. Who or what will you actually study, observe, or read?

3. What decision, practice, or understanding could the answer inform?

4. Draft question.
   Is it specific enough that you could explain what would count as an answer?

5. Feasibility
   Time available:
   Access to people, texts, or data:
   What you will not try to claim:

6. Integrity
   Will participants, if any, know what they are agreeing to?
   Are you studying your own students? If so, what pressure might they feel?
   Which ideas are yours, and which must be cited?

Rewrite the question until a reader outside your project can tell what you will do.
