1. Classify the research design for each study (experimental, quasi-experimental, non-experimental) and types of comparison used such as within subject or between subject designs with rationale. Did the authors provide a rationale for their choice of the design? If not, provide rationale for your statement.
2. Address whether there’s a clear link between the research purpose/question and the choice of the design.
3. Identify if there’s an intervention in each study. If so, comment how well the intervention was described. Provide rationale.
4. Identify the independent and dependent variables. Was masking/blinding used in the study? If yes, who was blinded? Provide rationale.
5. Identify potential extraneous variables that may have affected the outcomes of the study.
6. Identify methods, (if any) used to control for confounding (variables) participant characteristics. If randomization was used, comment how the subjects were assigned to groups. Were randomization procedures adequately designed? Did the randomization result in groups that were comparable? Provide rationale.
