There are things we cannot measure, like happiness or pain, and yet their meaning is perfectly clear to us.

- Hello Pete, If you look at the assessment criteria for Research and Design (p78 in the guide) it states "... include a concise description of the system in which the research question is embedded, and include background theory of direct relevance."...
