Module 05 Discussion - Qualitative vs. Quantitative Research

For the past two modules, you have explored two prominent methods of research: qualitative and quantitative. These two methods both have their pros and cons, and although they are often used together to produce a research report, there are times when one method is preferred.

Think about the differences between these approaches. When is one approach better than the other? When would you prefer one approach over the other? For this module's discussion, propose a research scenario that would be best completed by one method over the other, and explain why.

Due dates for your initial and response posts can be found by checking the Course Syllabus and Course Calendar.
