  1. The correlation between the types of quantitative research and the hypothesis are interesting. The whole process is formed based on the experimental vs. non-experimental research data. From the initial questions to the data collection, the process includes thinking about the research as a whole and determining what outcome we are expecting to see, or if there is an outcome at all. Good information and well done!

  2. I always find it interesting when two completely different classes that you’re taking have overlapping topics. Right now I am taking a statistics class and we are currently talking about the differences between quantitative and qualitative research and how they are used. I think when you’re talking about research it’s important to know why you are pursuing what you are setting out to discover. Which I believe makes that “so what?” question so vital, and I think you did a very good job of projecting that.

  3. Great break down of the topic! The only thing I would add is that we have to use proper sampling methods because using the entire population is rarely feasible due to cost and sheer quantity of data.
