Report undertaking section

[[Methods, Assumptions, and Procedures

A description of the methods, assumptions, and procedures used in an investigation is a required component. A succinct explanation of them enables readers to evaluate the results without referring extensively to the references. The description should be complete enough that a knowledgeable reader could duplicate the procedures of the investigation. The system of measurement (for example, metric or English) is identified. If the research included apparatus, instruments, or reagents, a description of the apparatus, the design and precision of the instruments, and the nature of the reagents are explained in this required section of text.
