Criteria Feedback
- Clear, coherent and focused research question with precisely defined IV, DV and timeframe
- Rich contextualisation of soil salinisation using relevant statistics and geographic focus
- Comprehensive explanation of links between salinisation, food security and the germination study
- Minor redundancy in wording (phrase “germination rate and early growth” repeated)

Criteria Feedback
- Detailed, repeatable method that gathers sufficient data across five salinity levels and multiple trials
- Clear description of sampling strategy with consistent seed counts and replicates
- Identification of key hazards and generic ethical considerations
- Terminology inconsistency between “cotton” and “soil” substrate
- Sampling replicates are described inconsistently (3 vs. 5 trials) without statistical justification
- Risk assessment lacks likelihood/severity ranking and detailed mitigation measures
