Criteria Feedback
The student communicates a clear local focus by anchoring the investigation in Kapkoros, Bomet County and a named tea factory.
The student's research question is specific enough to guide a geographically grounded investigation.
The student uses a sensible mix of questionnaires, group comparisons, and secondary sources to build their method.
The student's method does not fully explain how participants were selected within each locality and category.
The investigation does not clearly show how the 2022–2024 time frame is being evidenced.
The framing shifts at times between quality of life, standards of living, and HDI without fully clarifying the relationship among them.

The relationship between HDI and the student's locally collected indicators is not kept consistent throughout the report.
