    This is one the most important chapters of your report. It measures the Outcome 2b (Describe

    and justify the chosen methodology) and Outcome 3c (Collect and review data usingappropriate methods, including primary and secondary research techniques). It may include:

    Details of procedures (survey, experiment, or observation; questionnaires or interview,

    etc) and as well as when and where they were carried out

    Sample size and justification

    Methods of selection of sample and justification
