To start with it has an age category detailing less than 18. For university research it is pretty much an absolute no no to use any participants under 18. In addition it lacks a participant information form detailing the contact details of the researcher and their supervisor; how the data will be used, stored, deleted,amdwho will have access to it; purpose of the research; details regarding anonymous nature of data, right to withdraw without prejudice etc; and lacks any statement or check box whereby the participant agrees to the terms set forth in the participant information sheet.
For 1st year it would be fine as this kind of thing is routinely done as a low-weighted assignment to get students used to research (and because the results are almost always just fabricated), but if it was like this for a dissertation it would be shot down by the this board within seconds.
Thanks.
