Method and Research Design:
- Answers two main questions:
- How was the data collected or generated?

- Don’t put unnecessary information of how you obtained the information.
- Decide on your type of research.
- Keep the purpose of the method section in mind.
- Make sure you keep good notes of what you did to obtain the information.

Study Guides and Strategies
- Give enough information so that your readers can follow your procedure.
- Define your samples.
- List the variables used.
- Keep the purpose of your research in mind.
- Give enough information to prove your topic.
The most important thing that I learned was to make sure that as the writer you provided your readers with enough information about what you did, without over doing it. I think that is going to be the hardest part. I want to make sure I provide my readers with enough information about my topic and what I did to obtain my facts, but I don’t want to bore them with too much information or confuse them with not providing them with enough information.
