 * Does the overview explain and justify the type of data that will be collected for the**
 * project?**
 * Does the overview provide a “snapshot” of the various components of the research**
 * project, and a sense of the schedule on which they will be completed?**

Yes Vaguely in a general sense, yes

Yes it does No

 * Does the proposal describe the relationship between this project and previous work**
 * carried out by the researcher?**
 * Does the proposal provide a plan for pilot studies, literature reviews, language training**
 * or other initiatives that need to be undertaken before the project begins?**

Yes It is difficult to see this connection Yes, it says which data will be used, but no, where the data is coming from is not clear. Not really. I don’t see a proposed data collection plan. No, these things aren’t mentioned. Yes, based on a conceptual framework. Yes this was present Not from that I could tell. I mean the project focusses around an ethical issue but this is not addressed spacifically

 * researcher thinks is going on, based on preliminary investigation and existing theory?**
 * Does the proposal indicate how the research questions build on existing literature?**
 * Does the proposal clearly explain what data will be used to answer the research**
 * questions, and how and where this data will be collected?**
 * Does the proposal provide a very clear sense of what the researcher will do in various**
 * phases or components of the project?**
 * Are you convinced that the proposed data collection plan is both feasible, and**

 * into a text – through the development of chapters that develop particular core concepts,**
 * for example?**
 * Does the proposal provide a strategy for addressing the ethical dimensions of the**
 * project, and a sense that that the ethical dimensions have been thoroughly thought**
 * through?**

No at least not in this section Yes but no one unexpected No not really
 * DISSEMINATION**
