your methodology is how you approach your research topic. for example, if its maths you talk about the maths you take, the models you are using, and u unpack the topic. i think you write an abstract by summing up your research and your findings, as well as an introduction towards your topic. im not an undergrad, just an IB student who's done like 3 research papers in the span of a month, so 🙂 take my advice with a grain of salt. 2.5k words isn't bad once you've gotten through all the stages.

introduction/background info

methodology and assumptions made

data collection

data analysis

conclusion

evaluation

if your research topic isnt sciencey this won't work, btw :smile:

@stressed04

Write critically (look at things from multiple angles).

Reference correctly.

Hope that helps,
