4. Research Design
a. What are the control and experimental setups done in the study? Are they sufficient for coming up with reliable data for the project?
b. What are the independent, dependent and extraneous variables? Are they correctly identified in the research methodology? What other variables, if any, should have been included in the conduct of the research?
c. How was the data gathering procedure done? Are enough quantitative information generated? Were the procedures used for data gathering reliable? What improvements, if any, could be done in the procedure?
5. Are the conclusions made by the researchers reflective of the information generated in the research process? How well did it address the real life problem presented?

B. Presentation of the Project
1. Are the information in the poster enough to be able to understand the project without consulting with the researchers? Identify the good points and the bad points of the poster in terms of content, and suggest ways to improve the contents.
2. Are the ocntents of the poster readable? Identify the good and bad points in terms of visual effects of the poster, and suggest ways to improve the poster.

TOR MENTORING PROGRAM
The Third Order Research (TOR) Mentoring Program was designed to enable the Juniors to link up with the seniors and share their experiences and knowledge gained from their respective STR classes.

The Juniors will experience giving a poster presentation to the seniods, while the seniors will have to analyze and evaluate the presentation, as well as the project. Together, the TOR Mentors and the TOR Mentees would examine the project proposal presented, and assess how the basic principles of research design are applied. Suggestions should be made by the Mentors, and shared with the Mentees.

The Seniors should explain their project to the Juniors, and share their experiences to the Juniors as well.

--Requirements here are for the seniors only.
