W,Salam..

Yes these are the Basic Methods of Research but its better to Go through [I]Jahangir's To the Point Sociology[/I]

They have given another method which i personally preferred to add in my notes; [B]Case Study[/B]

But its purely your own choice if you will not add it No problem at all,:pipe

[B]Stages of Research Design are:

1. Defining the problem

2. Review of the Literature

3. Establishing an hypothesis

-- Interview
-- Social survey
-- Questionnaire
-- Case Study

5. Collection of data

6. Analysis of data

7. Checking the hypothesis
