Criteria Feedback
The student formulates a clear, geographical investigation question with explicit links to the Bradshaw model and hydraulic radius.
The student's site context is precise and clearly feasible for primary fieldwork, with named stations, tributaries, settlements and river reach detail.
The student's locational mapping gives a strong sense of the study area and sampling distribution.
Some of the maps are visually crowded and harder to read than they should be.
Key map conventions are not always secure, especially orientation support such as a clear north arrow on the main figures.

Criteria Feedback
The student's methods are explained in substantial detail and are clearly tied to the research question.
The student uses a systematic design across 18 stations with repeated cross-channel measurements, which supports comparability.
The inclusion of qualitative observations and ecomorphological scoring adds useful contextual evidence alongside the numerical data.
Some method choices are described well but not always justified in enough depth.
The procedure would be stronger with a clearer explanation of why the chosen number of sampling points and velocity position were the most suitable for every station.
Reliability could be discussed more explicitly for the mixed qualitative scoring.
