A 'method' usually refers to a step by step process used to achieve a desired goal.
A method can be either a physical or a mental process: physical as in making toast or starting a car, and mental as in making decisions, finding the answers to questions, and solving problems.
An effective method is made up of "critical parts," which means that it has separate steps that must all be addressed and addressed effectively for the method to be successful.
This aspect of method can be restated in a way that clearly shows its great practical importance; "An effective process, effectively carried out, will always produce a good product."
And this is not merely a factual truth but a more powerful, logical truth. One of its uses is that the goodness of the product is testable by the method itself rather than by its visible results.

  1. A means or manner of procedure, especially a regular and systematic way of accomplishing something: a simple method for making a pie crust; mediation as a method of solving disputes.See Usage Note at http://www.answers.com/topic/methodology.
  2. Orderly arrangement of parts or steps to accomplish an end: random efforts that lack method.
  3. The procedures and techniques characteristic of a particular discipline or field of knowledge: This field course gives an overview of archaeological method.
  4. Method A technique of acting in which the actor recalls emotions and reactions from past experience and uses them in identifying with and individualizing the character being portrayed.

self if you know it the unseen result is correct or not.
A moment's reflection will reveal to you what I mean here by the proof of goodness being in the method itself -- you will know you have the right answer without even knowing what the answer is. (!)
