RQ builder and checker

Put a research question together from its parts, or check one you've written.

1 · Build a question from parts

2 · Check your question

The checker looks for patterns in the wording. It cannot judge whether your question is interesting or feasible: your supervisor can.

What examiners look for in an RQ
  • Relevant to the topic, clear, and focused enough for 4,000 words.
  • A real question that needs analysis, with an answer that isn't obvious.
  • Not double-barrelled.
  • Clearly answerable with computer science methods and theory.
