Our readings go into greater detail, but I found a great summary on Scribbr describing what makes a strong research question, plus there’s a video!!
A strong research question has all of the following elements:
- Focused on a single problem or issue
- Researchable using primary and/or secondary sources
- Feasible to answer within the timeframe and practical constraints
- Specific enough to answer thoroughly
- Complex enough to develop the answer over the space of a paper or thesis
- Relevant to your field of study and/or society more broadly

Nice clear video on “What makes for a good research question?”
