Answer:

Evidence of independent research includes details that relate to:

• explaining specific examples that the students had investigated and/or researched using secondary research and primary investigation or research
• visitations made by the students during the investigation and the relevance to the question asked
• presentations/interviews from real stakeholders that are involved in real scenarios similar to the case study
• any other research and/or investigation from secondary and/or primary sources - literally any methods for data collection as well as the actual information that was acquired beyond what is stated in the case study.

The student must refer to specifically to the source/investigation as well as the information they found out and its significance.
