Hi, I do AQA so it might be slightly different but this is what our teacher told us to do:

1. Explain exactly what you did – step by step – including whether it was primary or secondary.
2. Did you use sampling?
3. Were the results (data) Quantitative or Qualitative?
4. Explain why you did it like this – why was it appropriate. In terms of justification, why did you do it like this, choose this method, rather than doing something else. Why was this technique suitable – how was it going to help you answer your overall Q and prove/disprove your Hypotheses?
5. What were the advantages of his technique?
6. Disadvantages?

I did this in a table so that it was easy to make sure I'd done these steps for each method.
